Label

  single and multi-line. Labels can have text
  decorations, colored text, and use custom fonts
  (families, sizes, and options).

  input. The Entry, like the Editor view, supports
  multiple keyboard types. Additionally, the Entry
  can be used as a password field.

Example

Button

• The Button is the most fundamental interactive
  control in all Xamarin.Forms. The Button usually
  displays a short text string indicating a
  command, but it can also display a bitmap image,
  or combination of text and an image.

Example
ltButton Text"Click to Rotate Text!"
VerticalOptions"CenterAndExpand"
HorizontalOptions"Center" Clicked"OnButtonClicke
d" /gt

Image

• Xamarin.Forms uses the Image view to display
  images on page. It has two important properties
• Source and Aspect.

Example
ltImage Sourcename AspectAspectFill /gt

  item from a list of data.

  select a date.

  select a time.

Stepper

• The Xamarin.Forms Stepper consists of two labeled
  with minus and plus signs. These buttons can be
  manipulated by the user to incrementally select a
  double value from range of values.

Example
ltStepper Maximum"360" Increment"30"
HorizontalOptions"Center" ValueChanged"OnStepper
ValueChanged" /gt
https//www.ifourtechnolab.com/xamarin-mobile-app-
development

Slider

• The Xamarin.Forms slider is horizontal bar that
  can be manipulated by the user to select a double
  value from a continuous range.

Example
ltSlider Maximum"360" ValueChanged"OnSliderValueC
hanged" /gt
https//www.ifourtechnolab.com/xamarin-mobile-app-

13
BoxView

• BoxView renders a simple rectangle of a specified
  width, height and color. You can use BoxView for
  decoration, rudimentary graphics, and interaction
  with the user through touch.

Example
ltBoxView Color"CornflowerBlue" CornerRadius"10"
WidthRequest"160" HeightRequest"160"
VerticalOptions"Center" HorizontalOptions"Center
" /gt

ListView

• Listview is a view presenting list of data,
  especially long list that require scrolling.

Example
ltListViewgt ltListView.ItemsSourcegt ltxArray
Type"xType xString"gt ltxStringgtmonolt/xString
gt ltxStringgtmonodroidlt/xStringgt

WebView

• WebView is a view for displaying web and HTML
  content in your app. Unlike OpenUri, which takes
  the user to the web browser on the device,
  WebView displays the HTML content inside your app.

Example
ltWebView xName"webView" WidthRequest"1000"
HeightRequest"1000" Sourcehttps//docs.microso
ft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/user-interface/
webview?tabswindows /gt

16
ImageButton

• The ImageButton displays an image and responds to
  a tap or click that directs an application to
  carry out particular task.

Example
ltImageButton Source"XamarinLogo.png"
HorizontalOptions"Center" VerticalOptions"Center
AndExpand" /gt
https//www.ifourtechnolab.com/xamarin-mobile-app-
development
17
Maps

• Xamarin.Forms.Maps uses the native map APIs on
  each platform. This provides a fast, familiar
  maps experience for users, but means that some
  configuration steps are needed to adhere to each
  platforms API requirements. Once configured, the
  Map control works just like any other
  Xamarin.Forms element in common code.
