In my Xamarin.Forms app, I have a ListView:
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding MyItems}"
Grid.Row="1"
Margin="0,20,0,0">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<Label Text="ABC" FontSize="Large" TextColor="Black" BackgroundColor="Red" Margin="20" HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"/>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
Where the "ABC" should appear, is only a thin red line for the background of the label. I don't see the actually letters. I've made many ListView before with no problem, I don't know what I'm doing wrong here?
ViewCell needs to contain a layout control, otherwise it will not render correctly.
For simplicity, you could implement a StackLayout:
<ListView
ItemsSource="{Binding MyItems}"
Grid.Row="1"
Margin="0,20,0,0>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<StackLayout
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
Margin="0"
Padding="0"
Spacing="0"
VerticalOptions="Fill">
<Label
BackgroundColor="Red"
FontSize="Large"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
Margin="20"
Text="ABC"
TextColor="Black"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
VerticalTextAlignment="Center"/>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>

collectionview contains a label and StackLayout and its contents. The label is showing but StackLayout contents not showing and only if maximizes the windows it appears in UWP.this strange behaviour only occurring in uwp, not happening with ios or android. used xamarin.forms 5.0.0.2337
<CollectionView
ItemsSource="{Binding Details}"
SelectionMode="None"
>
<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Padding="20,0"
RowDefinitions="auto,auto">
<Label Text="DateTime" IsVisible="{Binding IsDateVisible}" />
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal"
Grid.Row="1"
IsVisible="{Binding IsDateVisible}">
<DatePicker Date="{Binding DateValue, Mode=TwoWay}"
Format="MMMM dd, yy"
HorizontalOptions="Start"
MaximumDate="{x:Static sys:DateTime.Now}"
/>
<TimePicker Time="{Binding TimeValue, Mode=TwoWay}"
IsVisible="{Binding IsDateVisible}"
HorizontalOptions="Start"
/>
</StackLayout>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>
StackLayout and its contents not showing inside a collectionview if maximizes the windows it appears in UWP with Xamarin.Forms
It looks know issue for CollectionView, please vote up this report and Keep an eye on the following update, currently the workaround is use listview to replace.
<ListView SelectionMode="None">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<Grid Padding="20,0" RowDefinitions="auto,auto">
<Label IsVisible="true" Text="DateTime" />
<StackLayout
Grid.Row="1"
IsVisible="true"
Orientation="Horizontal">
<DatePicker
Format="MMMM dd, yy"
HorizontalOptions="Start"
MaximumDate="{x:Static sys:DateTime.Now}" />
<TimePicker HorizontalOptions="Start" IsVisible="true" />
</StackLayout>
</Grid>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
Currently, I've got a ListView implementation that looks something like this:
{Alert1}
{Alert2}
{Alert3}
{Alert4}
{Alert5}
{Alert6]
{Alert7}
xaml:
<ListView Grid.Row="4"
ItemsSource="{Binding Alerts}"
HasUnevenRows="True"
VerticalOptions="Start"
SeparatorVisibility="None" Margin="10,0"
x:Name="AlertsList">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<Frame BackgroundColor="#333333" Margin="0,5" Padding="5">
<StackLayout Margin="0" Padding="0">
<Label
Text="{Binding Name, Mode=OneWay}"
FontAttributes="Bold"
FontSize="Large"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
Margin="0" />
<Label
Text="{Binding Value, Mode=OneWay}"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
FontSize="Medium"
Margin="0" />
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
Any suggestion on how to modify this so that the output is displayed in a 2 column grid instead with equal width columns such as?
{Alert1}{Alert2}
{Alert3}{Alert4}
{Alert5}{Alert6]
{Alert7}
I'm using Xamarin Forms v2.3.3
As Jason said,you could upgrade your XF version and use CollectionView with its ItemsLayout property.
<CollectionView ItemsSource="{Binding Alerts}"
ItemsLayout="VerticalGrid, 2">
<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Frame BackgroundColor="#333333" Margin="0,5" Padding="5">
<StackLayout Margin="0" Padding="0">
<Label
Text="{Binding Name, Mode=OneWay}"
FontAttributes="Bold"
FontSize="Large"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
Margin="0" />
<Label
Text="{Binding Value, Mode=OneWay}"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
FontSize="Medium"
Margin="0" />
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>
The more you could refer to the doc.
I have a listview with itemSource from viewModel but i need to bind a label text in this listview to outside the itemSource
<ListView
ItemsSource="{Binding reports, Mode=TwoWay}"
HasUnevenRows="True" ItemTapped="ListView_ItemTapped"
VerticalOptions="Center" SeparatorVisibility="Default"
SeparatorColor="Black" x:Name="listview">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<Frame Padding="0.20" Margin="2">
<Grid x:Name="gridview">
<BoxView Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" BackgroundColor="Black" WidthRequest="1" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="End"/>
<Label Text="{Binding Governerate}" Grid.Column="0"/>
<BoxView Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" BackgroundColor="Black" WidthRequest="1" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="End"/>
<Label Text="{Binding VisitCount}" Grid.Column="2" x:Name="visitcounts" TextColor="Red"/>
<BoxView Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="0" BackgroundColor="Black" WidthRequest="1" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="End"/>
<Label Text="{Binding item outside itemsource}" Grid.Column="3"/>
<Label Grid.Column="1"/>
</Grid>
</Frame>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
That easy you do it something like this:
First, give your ListView a name(Already there)
Then In the Binding use that name as a Reference for the Binding Context:
Text="{Binding Path=BindingContext.YourItem, Source={x:Reference listview}}"
Where YourItem is the Name of your string Property outside the ItemsSource
PFB the code for my list view,
<ListView HasUnevenRows="true" ItemsSource="{Binding UserEmailList}" IsGroupingEnabled="true">
<ListView.GroupHeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<ViewCell.View>
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical" Spacing="0" Margin="0" Padding="0">
<BoxView Style="{StaticResource separator}"></BoxView>
<Label Text="{Binding Heading}" Style="{StaticResource labelHeaderTitle}" />
<BoxView Style="{StaticResource separator}"></BoxView>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell.View>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.GroupHeaderTemplate>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<ViewCell.View>
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal" Spacing="0" >
<StackLayout IsVisible="{Binding UserEmailDetails.HasEmailAddress}" Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<Label Text="{Binding UserEmailDetails.EmailAddress}" Style="{StaticResource labelListItem}" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<Label.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="SelectEmailAddress_Tapped" CommandParameter="{Binding UserEmailDetails}" />
</Label.GestureRecognizers>
</Label>
<Image HeightRequest="16" HorizontalOptions="End" VerticalOptions="Center" Source="arrow.png" Margin="0,0,15,0">
</Image>
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout IsVisible="{Binding UserEmailDetails.HasEmailAddress, Converter={StaticResource NotConverter}}" Padding="15,0,0,0">
<Label Text="Add email" Style="{StaticResource labelLink}">
<Label.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="SelectEmailAddress_Tapped" CommandParameter="{Binding UserEmailDetails}" />
</Label.GestureRecognizers>
</Label>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell.View>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
Even if there are only two rows, on IOS multiple empty rows are getting populated as in the below snapshot.
Please let me know how to avoid this and hav things working in both Android and IOS
I would hide the Separator by setting SeparatorVisibility="None" on ListView Property. If you still need the Separator I would define in the ViewCell.
<ListView HasUnevenRows="true" SeparatorVisibility="None">
The other way is to put Empty Footer on List View:
<ListView>
<ListView.Footer>
<Label />
</ListView.Footer>
</ListView>
I hope one of these helps you. Let me know if anything.
I am trying to build Xaml for Xamarin , I am able to get the UI But the label is not getting binded. (Android Platform)
Also tried Text="{Binding Name}" for label. But not getting any labels rendered. Do i need to write up any additional code ?
<ContentPage.Content>
<ListView SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedResult}" x:Name="listview1" ItemsSource="{Binding QueryResults}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<Frame Padding="0,0,0,10">
<Frame.Content>
<Frame Padding="15,15,15,15" HeightRequest="36" OutlineColor="Aqua" BackgroundColor="Blue">
<Frame.Content>
<StackLayout Padding="20,0,0,0" Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand">
<Label Text="label text for test" TextColor="Yellow">
</Label>
</StackLayout>
</Frame.Content>
</Frame>
</Frame.Content>
</Frame>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
It worked for me.
Here is the code:
`
<Frame Padding="15,15,15,15" HeightRequest="36" OutlineColor="Aqua" BackgroundColor="Blue">
<Frame.Content>
<StackLayout Padding="20,0,0,0" Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand">
<Label Text="{Binding Name}" TextColor="Yellow">
</Label>
</StackLayout>
</Frame.Content>
</Frame>
`
There was frame inside frame so it was overlapping.
Hope this helps!
Even though very late reply after 3 months :p
