For some reason my button is not showing I want the bottom to be at the bottom and green but its not. Also is their any kind of editor for grids and placements of controls would make this easier.

If you give each row with a fix height 200, then the Y position of row 3 is start from 600 and it may larger than the height of the screen. You add the Button at row 3 and it is out of the bounds of the screen. Then you won't see it in the screen.
Use a Auto would be better, it will automatically sizes to fit content in the row or column. You can also set the ColumnSpacing and RowSpacing to add some space between row and columnspace:
<Grid Padding="30,40,40,10" ColumnSpacing="30" RowSpacing="70">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />

<ColumnDefinition Width="60*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="60*" />

Read the document about Grid to get more information and you can use StackLayout to achieve the UI too.

I am struggling with two things in xamarin forms layout. As shown on the picture i need to make more space for edidor control (highlited as 1) as this will be the place for user's comment. I would like to extend it to the right (max width). Second thing is i need to move buttons to the bottom which i thought i could solve that by settiung VerticalOptions="End" in the <Grid Grid.Row ="4" (higlighted as 2). How can i solve both things up? Below also full xaml code.

So, as #Jason said in the comments, you have to remove the <StackLayout /> because it prevents the Grid to fill the page.
Thus, for your other issue, I tried to reproduce it.
I've found that if you change the HorizontalOptions of your <Editor /> from CenterAndExpand to FillAndExpand this solves the issue (you can also remove the HorizontalOptions altogether).
So, instead of:
<Editor
Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
Keyboard="Text"
MaxLength="3000"
Placeholder="Komentarz"
Text="{Binding SelectedComment, Mode=TwoWay}" />
Try:
<Editor
Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
Keyboard="Text"
MaxLength="3000"
Placeholder="Komentarz"
Text="{Binding SelectedComment, Mode=TwoWay}" />
Or:
<Editor Grid.Column="1"
Keyboard="Text"
MaxLength="3000"
Placeholder="Komentarz"
Text="{Binding SelectedComment, Mode=TwoWay}" />
For more about this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/user-interface/layouts/layout-options
For good measure, you can also remove Keyboard="Text" since Keyboard's default value is already Text 😉
I hope this solved your issue.
However, if you've got any concerns with my Answer please let me know 🙂
I am trying to create a simple tab control with XAML. Everything is great, but the bottom BoxView that should extend the bottom line of the tabs is drawing on the top of the grid cell. How can I move this to the bottom of the grid cell? I have a red arrow pointing to the line (BoxView) that should be at the bottom.
You can see I have VerticalOptions=End, but it doesn't do anything. It always draws at the top.
<Grid HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" Margin="10,0,10,0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<BoxView Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Grid.ColumnSpan="3"
BackgroundColor="Gray"
HeightRequest="1"
Margin="0,20,0,0"
VerticalOptions="End"
/>
<BoxView Grid.Column="0"
BackgroundColor="Gray" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="0"
Margin="1,1,0,0"
BackgroundColor="White" />
<Label Grid.Column="0"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
Text="Run Tickets" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="1"
BackgroundColor="Gray" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="1"
Margin="1,1,0,1"
BackgroundColor="White" />
<Label Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
Text="Readings" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="2"
BackgroundColor="Gray" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="2"
Margin="1,1,1,1"
BackgroundColor="White" />
<Label Grid.Column="2"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
Text="Adjustments" />
</Grid>
I ran the exact code you posted and I see no problem with the line. Both iOS and Android (devices) are showing the line at the bottom of the Grid.
Used a red color so it can be noticed.
As can be seen the issue there is that the line is behind the rest. To fix this you just need to move the line declaration to last in the grid.
<Grid HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" Margin="10,0,10,0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<BoxView Grid.Column="0"
BackgroundColor="Gray" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="0"
Margin="1,1,0,0"
BackgroundColor="White" />
<Label Grid.Column="0"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
Text="Run Tickets" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="1"
BackgroundColor="Gray" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="1"
Margin="1,1,0,1"
BackgroundColor="White" />
<Label Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
Text="Readings" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="2"
BackgroundColor="Gray" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="2"
Margin="1,1,1,1"
BackgroundColor="White" />
<Label Grid.Column="2"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
Text="Adjustments" />
<BoxView Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Grid.ColumnSpan="3"
BackgroundColor="Red"
HeightRequest="1"
Margin="0,20,0,0"
VerticalOptions="End"
/>
</Grid>
The above will result in something like this:
In your sample I see you have a 20 margin (Top) on the bottom line, if that's on purpose and you want a 20 separation between the boxes and the bottom line. I would move the bottom line to a second row in the grid and remove the RowSpacing.
Something like this:
<Grid HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
RowSpacing="0"
Margin="10,0,10,0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<BoxView Grid.Column="0"
BackgroundColor="Gray" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="0"
Margin="1,1,0,0"
BackgroundColor="White" />
<Label Grid.Column="0"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
Text="Run Tickets" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="1"
BackgroundColor="Gray" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="1"
Margin="1,1,0,1"
BackgroundColor="White" />
<Label Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
Text="Readings" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="2"
BackgroundColor="Gray" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="2"
Margin="1,1,1,1"
BackgroundColor="White" />
<Label Grid.Column="2"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
Text="Adjustments" />
<BoxView Grid.Row="1"
Grid.ColumnSpan="3"
BackgroundColor="Gray"
HeightRequest="1"
Margin="0,20,0,0"
VerticalOptions="End" />
</Grid>
Would be something like this:
Hope this helps.-
I tried your code, but there was no such problem. I made some modifications, and you could check it whether the effect is what you need :
<Grid HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" Margin="10,0,10,0" ColumnSpacing="0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<BoxView Grid.Column="0"
BackgroundColor="Gray" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="0"
Margin="1,1,0,1"
BackgroundColor="White" />
<Label Grid.Column="0"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
Text="Run Tickets" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="1"
BackgroundColor="Gray" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="1"
Margin="1,1,0,1"
BackgroundColor="White" />
<Label Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
Text="Readings" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="2"
BackgroundColor="Gray" />
<BoxView Grid.Column="2"
Margin="1,1,1,1"
BackgroundColor="White" />
<Label Grid.Column="2"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
Text="Adjustments" />
</Grid>
Need to draw a hierarchy like below image
I would suggest you use a Grid to achive the layout on the image.
here is an example how to use a Grid to achive the desired hierarchy:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
//TOP
<StackLayout Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" HorizontalOptions="Center">
<Image Source="image_top" />
</StackLayout>
//CENTER
<StackLayout Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" HorizontalOptions="Center">
<Image Source="image_center_left" />
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="3" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" HorizontalOptions="Center">
<Image Source="image_center_right" />
</StackLayout>
//BOTTOM
<StackLayout Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalOptions="Center">
<Image Source="image_bottom_far_left" />
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalOptions="Center">
<Image Source="image_bottom_left" />
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2" HorizontalOptions="Center">
<Image Source="image_bottom_right" />
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="3" HorizontalOptions="Center">
<Image Source="image_bottom_far_right" />
</StackLayout>
</Grid>
Note: if you want to use the lines connecting the hierarchy (assuming that they are images), you will need to add 2 extra rows and add them between the images rows.
Simply - my binding data will dictate what col / row to put it in..
I dont want to write multiple frame layout code into XAML - but rather write the fame once in page level or app level resource, then generate an instance of this - populate it - and put into the grid specified in the binding.
The bit where it says TASK 1 is the repeating element frame.

So, from the advisement of Sparsha Bhattarai, I created the frame template that i want to reuse.
FrameTemplate.Xaml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContentView xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="50" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="100*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="20" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="30" />
<RowDefinition Height="25" />
<RowDefinition Height="1" />
<RowDefinition Height="28" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label Text="/ of 12"
x:Name="task_locale"
Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"

<Image x:Name="task_icon"

Grid.Row="1" Grid.RowSpan="3" Grid.Column="0"
VerticalOptions="Center" />
<Label Text="16"
x:Name="task_headline"
Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"
TextColor="White"
FontSize="27"
Margin="0,0,0,-20"
FontAttributes="Bold"
VerticalTextAlignment="Start"
HorizontalTextAlignment="End" />
<Label Text="/ of 12"
x:Name="task_subline"
Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1"
TextColor="White"
FontSize="Small"
VerticalTextAlignment="End"
HorizontalOptions="End"
VerticalOptions="End" />
<Label Text="Files sent"
x:Name="task_status"
Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
TextColor="White"

VerticalOptions="End" />
<BoxView Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" BackgroundColor="White" Margin="0,1,0,-1"></BoxView>

HorizontalOptions="End"
VerticalOptions="End"
Grid.Row="5" Grid.Column="1"
/>
</Grid>
</Frame>
</ContentView.Content>
</ContentView>
Then the codeBehind for it looked like this.
namespace Project.Views
{
[XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)]
public partial class FrameTemplate : ContentView
{
public FrameTemplate(string locale,string headline, string subHeadline, string icon, Color bgcolor, string status) : this()

//Here i have initialized the view from constructor, but you can simply set the binding of the view and set the properties. Do look into it. You can just as easily use the view in xaml but it will require a parameterless constructor. So, binding is important.
task_locale.Text = locale;
task_headline.Text = headline;
task_subline.Text = subHeadline;
task_icon.Source = icon;
task_color.BackgroundColor = bgcolor;
task_status.Text = status;
}
public FrameTemplate()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
}
THEN, in the page / view I want this to appear
var frame = new FrameTemplate("UK TP Stats", "999999", "/ of 999999", "tick.png", Color.Green, "Sent");
Grid.SetColumn(frame, 0);
Grid.SetRow(frame, 0);
MainGrid.Children.Add(frame);
This worked for me, which was great, I can now replicate this to do similar layouts etc as needed.
My Xamarin.Forms project is a Master/Detail template too, just in case anybody wanted to know :)
I created a hamburger menu in xamarin forms using master detail page.But I am unable to reduce the width of hamburger menu in uwp platform. Please let me know if there is way to reduce the width or it is the default width that hamburger menu occupies.
This is the code for Master Detail Page:
<MasterDetailPage.Master>
<local:SideDrawerListPage x:Name="sideDrawerListPage" WidthRequest="100" />
</MasterDetailPage.Master>
Code for Side Drawer List:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Row="0">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="120" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Grid.Row="0" Source="menu.png" HorizontalOptions="Center" WidthRequest="100" HeightRequest="60" Margin="0,2,0,0"/>
<Grid Grid.Row="1" Padding="20" Margin="5,0,0,0" ColumnSpacing="0" RowSpacing="0" HeightRequest="75">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="75"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="2*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
------------------
</Grid>
<Grid Grid.Row="2" BackgroundColor="{Binding SelectedBackgroundColorA}" HeightRequest="45" RowSpacing="0" ColumnSpacing="0">
--------
</Grid>
<Grid Grid.Row="3" BackgroundColor="{Binding SelectedBackgroundColorB}" HeightRequest="45" RowSpacing="0" ColumnSpacing="0">
--------
</Grid>
<Grid Grid.Row="4">
<ListView x:Name="listView" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" Margin="0,-8,0,-10" IsVisible="{Binding IsChildListVisible}" x:FieldModifier="public" ItemsSource="{Binding DashboardListItems}" BackgroundColor="#3c4a56">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<!--BackgroundColor="{Binding SelectedBackgroundColor}"-->
<Grid BackgroundColor="#3c4a56">
<Grid.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer NumberOfTapsRequired="1" Command="{Binding Command}" CommandParameter="{Binding}"></TapGestureRecognizer>
</Grid.GestureRecognizers>
<Grid RowSpacing="0" ColumnSpacing="0">
----------------
</Grid>
</Grid>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Grid>
</Grid>
Any help is appreciated!
How to reduce the width of hamburger menu in xamarin forms uwp platform
The control that matches MasterDetailPage is MasterDetailControl within UWP platform. And it has style resource. For your requirement, you could modify the style of MasterDetailControl and reduce the width of PaneTogglePane and ContentTogglePane button. I will post the complete style follow, you could use it directly.
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<Style TargetType="uwp:MasterDetailControl">
<Setter Property="ToolbarForeground" Value="{ThemeResource DefaultTextForegroundThemeBrush}" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="uwp:MasterDetailControl">
<SplitView x:Name="SplitView" IsPaneOpen="{Binding IsPaneOpen,RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},Mode=TwoWay}" DisplayMode="Overlay">
<SplitView.Pane>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Orientation="Horizontal" Visibility="{TemplateBinding MasterToolbarVisibility}" Background="{TemplateBinding ToolbarBackground}">
<Button Name="PaneTogglePane" Style="{ThemeResource PaneButton}" Width="30" Foreground="{TemplateBinding ToolbarForeground}"
AutomationProperties.Name="{Binding Path=(AutomationProperties.Name), RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Mode=OneWay}"
AutomationProperties.HelpText="{Binding Path=(AutomationProperties.HelpText), RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Mode=OneWay}"
AutomationProperties.LabeledBy="{Binding Path=(AutomationProperties.LabeledBy), RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Mode=OneWay}"
AutomationProperties.AccessibilityView="{Binding Path=(AutomationProperties.AccessibilityView), RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Mode=OneWay}" />
<TextBlock Margin="10,0,0,0" Style="{ThemeResource TitleTextBlockStyle}" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{TemplateBinding MasterTitle}" Visibility="{TemplateBinding MasterTitleVisibility}" Foreground="{TemplateBinding ToolbarForeground}"/>
</StackPanel>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="MasterPresenter" Grid.Row="1" Content="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=Master}" />
</Grid>
</SplitView.Pane>
<SplitView.Content>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Border x:Name="TopCommandBarArea" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="{TemplateBinding ToolbarBackground}">
<uwp:FormsCommandBar x:Name="CommandBar" Background="{TemplateBinding ToolbarBackground}" MinHeight="{ThemeResource TitleBarHeight}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<uwp:FormsCommandBar.Content>
<Border x:Name="TitleArea" Height="{ThemeResource TitleBarHeight}" Visibility="{TemplateBinding DetailTitleVisibility}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid x:Name="TitleViewPresenter" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="{TemplateBinding ToolbarBackground}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button Grid.Column="0" Width="30" Name="ContentTogglePane" Style="{ThemeResource PaneButton}" Foreground="{TemplateBinding ToolbarForeground}"
Visibility="{TemplateBinding ContentTogglePaneButtonVisibility}" />
<Image Grid.Column="1" Source="{TemplateBinding DetailTitleIcon}" />
<Border Grid.Column="2" Height="{ThemeResource TitleBarHeight}" Visibility="{TemplateBinding DetailTitleVisibility}">
<TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding DetailTitle}" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10,0,0,0" Foreground="{TemplateBinding ToolbarForeground}" Style="{ThemeResource TitleTextBlockStyle}" />
</Border>
<ContentPresenter Grid.Column="3" Content="{Binding DetailTitleView, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}, Converter={StaticResource ViewToRenderer}}" Visibility="{TemplateBinding DetailTitleViewVisibility}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</uwp:FormsCommandBar.Content>
</uwp:FormsCommandBar>
</Border>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="DetailPresenter" Grid.Row="1" Content="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=Detail}" />
<Border x:Name="BottomCommandBarArea" Grid.Row="2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"></Border>
</Grid>
</SplitView.Content>
</SplitView>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
Update
Sorry, I miss understand your requirement, if your want to reduce hamburger menu. you could set OpenPaneLength for SplitView within above style.
......
<ControlTemplate TargetType="uwp:MasterDetailControl">
<SplitView OpenPaneLength="100" x:Name="SplitView"
......
Please note, we need place above style in the uwp App.Xaml.
Requires a definition for "TitleViewPresenter" or child thereof, or will return null when content is overridden by default from here... thus causing a crash in MasterDetailControl.cs
_titleViewPresenter = GetTemplateChild("TitleViewPresenter") as FrameworkElement;
Xaml:
<ContentPresenter x:Name="TitleViewPresenter" Content="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=DetailTitleView}" />
