How can remove margin between items in xaml?

This is my xaml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TestSalesforce"
x:Class="TestSalesforce.MainPage">
<StackLayout Padding="0,0,0,0">
<!-- Place new controls here -->
<Label Text="LOGIN"
HorizontalOptions="Center" />
<Label Text="Email:" Margin="0,0,0,0"/>
<Entry x:Name="txtEmail" Margin="0,0,0,0"/>
<Label Text="Password:" Margin="0,0,0,0"/>
<Entry x:Name="txtPassword" Margin="0,0,0,0"/>
<Button x:Name="btnLogin" Text="Login"/>
<Button x:Name="btnClose" Text="Close" Clicked="OnClose"/>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage>
I try using Margin="0,0,0,0" but it not ok:
This is result:
How can remove margin between items in xaml?
StackLayout and Grid have Spacing-Properties. Spacing describes the gap between each child element in the Layout.
I think by default a StackLayouts Spacing-Property is not 0 but something around 2-5.
Try setting Spacing="0" on the stacklayout.
Looks like you have styles that are already gettin applied to the elements. Possibly try settings padding on those elements to 0 (they may not support padding) or if that doesn't work you might need to add a negative margin to counteract the styles.
Try This Code: Using Grid format
<Grid Grid.Row="3">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Controls:Label Grid.Row="0" Font="15" Text="{Binding LabelAddress}"/>
<StackLayout>
<Controls:PlaceholderEditor Grid.Row="1" Text="{Binding TextAddress}" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="Fill" Margin="0,20,0,0" Placeholder="Enter Address" PlaceholderColor="{StaticResource LightGray}" AutoSize="TextChanges"/>
</StackLayout>
</Grid>
The result like this:
Add Spacing=0 to your stack layout, so it looks the next:
<StackLayout Spacing=0 Padding="0,0,0,0">

Background Image out of proportion in xamarin.forms IOS

I've created an app using xamarin.forms. I just began testing the iOS side and my background image on the login screen looks zoomed in. On android the image displays correctly. Is there anything I need to change to get it to display correctly?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<Image Source="bk3.jpg"
RelativeLayout.WidthConstraint=
"{ConstraintExpression Type=RelativeToParent, Property=Width}"
RelativeLayout.HeightConstraint=

Solution 2
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" >
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"

Is it possible to create sdk/library with views for android and ios in xamarin?

Can we create sdk or library in xamarin for android and IOS which. And the library or sdk should also contain some UI (views). Is it possible that library or sdk can contain views that we can use with some other projects of xamarin?
Yes! You can custom Controls with Bindable Properties in Xamarin.Forms then package it in a nuget package.
For example: you can create a ContentView in another folder called MyCustomControl like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContentView xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="BindablePropertyDemo.Custom.MyCustomControl">
<Grid x:Name="grid"
Padding="10,40,10,10"
HeightRequest="160"
VerticalOptions="Start">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="100"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image x:Name="image"
HeightRequest="100"
HorizontalOptions="Center"/>
<Label x:Name="title"
Text="BASKETBALL"
Grid.Row="1"
FontSize="20"
VerticalOptions="Center"
TextColor="White"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
FontAttributes="Bold"/>
</Grid>
</ContentView>
And then you can call this control from any page like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:BindablePropertyDemo"
xmlns:custom="clr-namespace:BindablePropertyDemo.Custom"
x:Class="BindablePropertyDemo.MainPage"
BackgroundColor="#33334c">
<ScrollView>
<Grid RowSpacing="0">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="60"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid BackgroundColor="White">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="60"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid BackgroundColor="#ff4284" Padding="10">
<Image Source="hamburger.png"/>
</Grid>
<Label Grid.Column="1"
Text="Home"
TextColor="#ff4284"
FontSize="20"
Margin="5,0,0,0"
HorizontalOptions="Start"
VerticalOptions="Center"/>
</Grid>
<StackLayout Spacing="0" Grid.Row="1"><
<!-- SEE HERE!! -->
<custom:MyCustomControl BackgroundColor="#76dab2"
TitleText="BASKETBALL"
Image="basketball.png"/>
<custom:MyCustomControl BackgroundColor="#7c57e4"
TitleText="FOOTBALL"
Image="football.png"/>
<custom:MyCustomControl BackgroundColor="#f1b136"
TitleText="GRIDIRON"
Image="gridiron.png"/>
</StackLayout>
</Grid>
</ScrollView>
</ContentPage>
And you will have a result like this:
I have taken this example of this tutorial, you can continue to have more information.

Structure xaml xamarin

I want to create a structure but it's not coming out the way I want it
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:App37"
x:Class="App37.MainPage">
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="Aqua" VerticalOptions="Fill" HorizontalOptions="Fill">
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="Bisque" VerticalOptions="Fill" HorizontalOptions="Fill">
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="BlueViolet" VerticalOptions="Fill" HorizontalOptions="Fill">
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage>
My resolve has to stay this way
enter image description here
One smart way of doing this structure is through Grid layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:XamarinFormDemo" x:Class="XamarinFormDemo.XamarinFormDemoPage">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="Fill" Grid.Row="0" BackgroundColor="Gray" />
<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="Fill" Grid.Row="1" BackgroundColor="Bisque" />
<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="Fill" Grid.Row="2" BackgroundColor="BlueViolet" />
</Grid>
</ContentPage>
As Jason pointed out, a ContentPage can have only once child element. You can have a parent stacklayout to hold the three child stacks e.g
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:App37"
x:Class="App37.MainPage">
<StackLayout>
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="Aqua" VerticalOptions="Fill" HorizontalOptions="Fill">
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="Bisque" VerticalOptions="Fill" HorizontalOptions="Fill">
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="BlueViolet" VerticalOptions="Fill" HorizontalOptions="Fill">
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage>
