Xamarin.Forms Layouts are used to compose user interface controls into logical structures.
Layouts
The Layout class in Xamarin.Forms is a specialized subtype of View, which acts as a container for other Layouts or Views. It typically contains logic to set the position and size of child elements in Xamarin.Forms applications.
Xamarin.Forms supports:
| Type | Description | Screenshot |
|---|---|---|
| ContentPresenter | A layout manager for templated views. Used within a ControlTemplate to mark where the content to be presented appears. |
|
| ContentView | An element with a single content. ContentView has very little use of its own. Its purpose is to serve as a base class for user-defined compound views. |
|
| Frame | An element containing a single child, with some framing options. Frame have a default Xamarin.Forms.Layout.Padding of 20. |
|
| ScrollView | An element capable of scrolling if it's Content requires. |
|
| TemplatedView | An element that displays content with a control template, and the base class for ContentView. |
|
| AbsoluteLayout | Positions child elements at absolute requested positions. User assigned anchors and bounds defines the position and size of the control. |
|
| Grid | A layout containing views arranged in rows and columns. |
|
| RelativeLayout | A Layout that uses Constraints to layout its children. |
|
| StackLayout | A Layout that positions child elements in a single line which can be oriented vertically or horizontally. This layout will set the child bounds automatically during a layout cycle. User assigned bounds will be overwritten and thus should not be set on a child element by the user. |
