Hi Developers,
I created a UserControl that shows Tiles from a List (ItemSource) similar to the ListView control.
My Tiles user Control is currently inheriting from a ContentView and I want it to behave like a ListView, so is it possible to use a DataTemplate to customize the Tiles?
This is the method that creates the tiles but this is very static:
private void UpdateTiles()
{
foreach (TileGridModel item in ItemsSource)
{
var tileItem = new Frame
{
Margin = 10,
CornerRadius = 10,
HasShadow = false,
WidthRequest = widthHeight,
HeightRequest = widthHeight,
OutlineColor = Color.Blue,
BackgroundColor = Color.LightGray,
Content = new StackLayout
{
//Padding = 5,
Orientation = StackOrientation.Vertical,
Children =
{
new CircleImage { Source = item.ImageSource, WidthRequest = widthHeight, HeightRequest = widthHeight / 2, BorderThickness = 2, BorderColor = (Color) Application.Current.Resources["ColorAccent"] },
new Label { Text = item.Title, HorizontalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center }
}
}
};
var recognizer = new TapGestureRecognizer();
recognizer.Tapped += OnTileItemTapped;
tileItem.GestureRecognizers.Add(recognizer);
mainWrapLayout.Children.Add(tileItem);
}
}
So it whould be very nice if I could use a DataTemplate to create the look of the tiles in XAML.
Any ideas how I can realize it?
