Customize progress bar in Xamarin Forms within a frame - xamarin

I'm trying to add a progress bar in Xamarin Forms within my XAML. But the default progress bar gives me only one type of colour without labels on both ends and the 2 circled points on both ends as shown in the image below:
Further, I am unable to add the progress bar inside the frame. My code is as follows:
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical" Margin="5">
<Frame Padding="10"
BackgroundColor="White"
HeightRequest="80">
<Frame.Content>
<Label Text="%" HorizontalTextAlignment="End" FontSize="Small"/>
<ProgressBar x:Name="myProgressBar" WidthRequest="100"
HeightRequest="15" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center" Progress="0.2"/>
</Frame.Content>
</Frame>
</StackLayout>
Can someone please help me to achieve this as in the image ?

A frame can only hold one element as content.
You can solve that by putting a layout such as a Grid or a StackLayout into the content property of your frame.
<Frame.Content>
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical">
<Label Text="%" HorizontalTextAlignment="End" FontSize="Small"/>
<ProgressBar x:Name="myProgressBar" WidthRequest="100"
HeightRequest="15" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center" Progress="0.2"/>
</StackLayout>
</Frame.Content>
Regarding your progress bar, you will have to implement a custom renderer, which will fill the progress bar with a gradient instead of a simple fill color.

Xamarin Forms Grid.Row Auto --> Still Shows Scrollbar in Grid Item

I have a slight problem with XamarinForms, which I am fairly new with.
I do have a grid with several Items in it (ListView, Label, Stacklayout, Listview).
I thought setting RowDefinitions = "Auto" for each row, would make the whole Page scrollable.
But instead I have a scrollbar on each individual listView.
I have added a snippet of my code with one of the listViews inside.
How do I get the listViews shown in their full size and the scrollbar be for the whole page?
I have already tried a scrollview instead of the grid, but it did not work.
Picture of Content in Emulator
Picture of Whole Page
Xamarin Forms:
<Grid
Padding="10"
RowDefinitions="Auto,Auto,Auto,Auto"
ColumnDefinitions="*"
>
<Label Padding="20" FontAttributes="Bold" FontSize="40" Text="{Binding DisplayName}" Grid.Row="0"/>
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding News}"
HasUnevenRows="True"
IsPullToRefreshEnabled="False"
Grid.Row="1">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<StackLayout Padding="10">
<Label Text="{Binding DateTimeString}"/>
<Label Text="{Binding Text}" MaxLines="4"/>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
<ListView.Header>
<Grid ColumnDefinitions="*,Auto"
Padding="10"
VerticalOptions="Center">
<Label Text="News"
Grid.Column="0"
FontAttributes="Bold"
FontSize="32"/>
<Label Text="mehr Anzeigen"
Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalTextAlignment="End"/>
</Grid>
</ListView.Header>
</ListView>
You can put the items in ScrollView which is capable of scrolling its content.

How to show each record of list one by one in page when swipe up/down in xamarin forms

I have a list of many records and i want to show each record on one single page.
What i want is, When we do swipe up from bottom of the page, next record in list should show with animation. similarly, when we do swipe down from top of the page, previous record in list should show with animation.
I don't know how to achieve this. hope for better solution
Caraousel View with orientation and snap points should give you desired results
<CarouselView BindingContext="{x:Reference BottomTabGridPageXaml}" ItemsSource="{Binding StudentList}"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<CarouselView.ItemsLayout>
<LinearItemsLayout Orientation="Vertical" SnapPointsType="MandatorySingle"/>
</CarouselView.ItemsLayout>
<CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<Label Text="{Binding Id}" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"/>
<Label Text="{Binding Name}" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"/>
<Label Text="{Binding Number}" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"/>
<Label Text="{Binding Age}" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"/>
</StackLayout>
</DataTemplate>
</CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
</CarouselView>

Xamarin Carousel View: Align current item center when peaking?

I have a Xamarin Carousel view with the PeakAreaInsets set pretty high so that I can see multiple items in the list at once. However I notice that the current item when set to snap, aligns it self more with the top of the page when I would like it to snap to the center of the page. How can I accomplish this?
Here is a snippet of the code in question:
<ContentPage.Content>
<CarouselView ItemsSource="{Binding Days}"
CurrentItem="{Binding SelectedDay}"
VerticalOptions="Center"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
PeekAreaInsets="300"
x:Name="DayCarousel">
<CarouselView.ItemsLayout>
<LinearItemsLayout SnapPointsAlignment="Center"
SnapPointsType="Mandatory"
Orientation="Vertical"/>
</CarouselView.ItemsLayout>
<CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackLayout Spacing="0"
Orientation="Vertical"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
VerticalOptions="Center"
Margin="30,10">
<Label Text="{Binding FormattedDate}"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
VerticalOptions="Center"
Style="{StaticResource LabelStyle}"/>
<Label Text="{Binding TitleText}"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
VerticalOptions="Center"
Style="{StaticResource LabelHeader1Style}"/>
<StackLayout.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Command="{Binding BindingContext.SelectDay, Source={x:Reference this}}"
CommandParameter="{Binding .}"/>
</StackLayout.GestureRecognizers>
</StackLayout>
</DataTemplate>
</CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
</CarouselView>
</ContentPage.Content>
Here is about what it looks like now (just a mock up):
And here is what I would like it to look like:
I ended up playing around with it for a bit. I'm not sure how its going to look on other phone formats and sizes since I haven't tested that yet. But eventually I found a happy medium after tweaking the PeakAreaInsets, and adjusting the SnapPointsAlignment. Currently I have it set to PeakAreaInsets = 350 and SnapPointsAlignment="Start"

Circular Progress bar in xamarin forms

Any idea how to create this. I am using ProgressRingBar but it has some limitations. I want to show progress in percentage also inside the ring. Which is not possible with this
Any other way to achieve this for both Android and iOS platforms
Got this working:
<control:ProgressRing Margin = "165,0,-20,40" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" HeightRequest= "40" RingProgressColor="#ebf5e4" RingBaseColor="LightGray" RingThickness="25" AnimatedProgress="{Binding Progress}" AnimationEasing="2" />
<Label x:Name="LabelProgress" Margin = "200,0,-20,40" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" FontSize="Micro" Text="{Binding ProgressPercentage}" WidthRequest="50" HeightRequest="20" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center" />
I use a label with a ProgressRing to show the percentage of progress. This works for me.

StackLayout ignoring EndAndExpand on iOS

It seems that there is a confirmed Bug in Xamarin.Forms in iOS, when you have a content/label with a text too large that needs 2 lines to display it in a StackLayout (lets say layoutA), the others siblings and parent elements takes the width of the layoutA.
Kent Boogaart filled a Bug with the following example to reproduce the error.
<StackLayout Margin="0,20,0,0">
<!-- works (by virtue of no wrapping) -->
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
<Switch/>
<Label Text="Some text"/>
<Button Text="A Button" HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand"/>
</StackLayout>
<!-- works (by virtue of no switch) -->
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
<Label Text="Some longer text that wraps over two lines"/>
<Button Text="A Button" HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand"/>
</StackLayout>
<!-- does not work -->
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
<Switch/>
<Label Text="Some longer text that wraps over two lines"/>
<Button Text="A Button" HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand"/>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
Is there a solution/fix/workaround for this problem?
EDIT
Here is the code used:
<ListView HasUnevenRows="True" SeparatorVisibility="None" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" CachingStrategy="RecycleElement">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" BackgroundColor="#eee" Padding="5" Margin="5" >
<ffimageloading:CachedImage HorizontalOptions="Start" VerticalOptions="Start" HeightRequest="75" Source="{Binding ID, StringFormat='https://example/api/{0}'}" CacheDuration="15">
<ffimageloading:CachedImage.Transformations>
<fftransformations:CircleTransformation/>
</ffimageloading:CachedImage.Transformations>
</ffimageloading:CachedImage>
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<Label Text="{Binding Name}" TextColor="#f35e20" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
<Label Text="{Binding Description}" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" TextColor="#503026" />
<Label Text="{Binding ID}" x:Name="ID" IsVisible="False"></Label>
<Button Text="Ver productos" TextColor="#FF5F6D" HorizontalOptions="End" BackgroundColor="Transparent"></Button>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
These are actual screenshots of the app in iOS, in Android it just work great.
As you can see, in the Image1 the first card is OK, the button ("Agregar al carrito" or "Ver Productos") is at the end.
But in the second card as the text is too large, the button gets down out of the card.
And in the second image, the text in the middle needs 2 lines, and the StackLayout that wraps the content (the 2 labels and the button) gets just as wide as the label with the large text.
I draw a red square in the large text, and a red line so you can see that because of that large text, the StackLayout gets narrow.
This is a known issue that when setting the padding on stacklayout inside Cell , the row height displays incorrectly.
Solution: Use StackLayout to wrap the content under the Cell.
<ViewCell>
<StackLayout > //add this
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal" Padding="5" Margin="5" >
</ffimageloading:CachedImage>
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="Brown" Orientation="Vertical">
<Label TextColor="#f35e20" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
<Label/>
<Label Text="fff" x:Name="ID" IsVisible="False"></Label>
<Button Text="Ver productos" TextColor="#FF5F6D" BackgroundColor="Yellow"></Button>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell>
