SearchBar doesnt have 'X' button on right hand side - xaml

As you can see my SearchBar doesn't have an 'X' button, which is normally at the right hand side of the SearchBar.
I only have the issue using Android, iOS has an X and a cancel button.
Do I need to add a tag in or what am I doing wrong?
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"

</StackLayout>

<ToolbarItem Text="{Binding NoItemsInShoppingCart}" Priority="0" Activated="Clicked" Order="Primary"/>
</ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
<ContentPage.Content>
Xamarin.Forms v5.0.0.2012

Remove
NavigationPage.TitleView
Or
StackLayout BackgroundColor="Red" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
VerticalOptions="StartAndExpand" Orientation="Horizontal"
If the SearchBar surrounded by NavigationPage.TitleView and StackLayout, the 'X' button will disappear. Remove anyone of them can solve the problem.

Space around in xamarin forms

Im using xamarin forms.
i wanna design my xaml files but i realized something strange.
left and right of entry has space that i couldnt remove even with custom renderer.
is there any idea what is might be?
i tried padding,margin,HorizontalOption none of them effected.
even i tried to setPadding to 0 from custom renderer in android but it didnt work.
the first one is label as you can see filled out all the space but entry has an space around it .
Update:
this is my xaml codes and im using android emulator to test.
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="White" Spacing="15">
<Label Text="fds" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" BackgroundColor="Red"/>
<Entry BackgroundColor="Red" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
</StackLayout>
don't know how is your implementation but this what I tried:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage
xmlns:bases="clr-namespace:WhiteSolution.Views.Bases"
xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:viewModelBase="clr-namespace:WhiteSolution.ViewModels.Bases"
viewModelBase:ViewModelLocator.AutoWireViewModel="True"
x:Class="WhiteSolution.Views.HomePage">
<ContentPage.Content>
<Grid VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
BackgroundColor="WhiteSmoke">
<StackLayout Padding="0"
Spacing="0"
BackgroundColor="Blue">
<Label Text="no space label"
Margin="0"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
BackgroundColor="Yellow"
FontSize="Large"/>
<Entry Text="no space entry"
Margin="0"
BackgroundColor="Red"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
FontSize="Large"/>
</StackLayout>
</Grid>
</ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>
and i get this result
if you share your code it will be more useful
Try this, Padding Property should be 0 in main StackLayout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="SampleApp.Views.DashboardView">
<ContentPage.Content>
<StackLayout Padding="0" BindingContext="{Binding Dashboard}">
<!-- Controls -->
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
I realized that entry has Default margin value. so i set it to 0 and everything worked.
here is my code
<StackLayout>
<Entry Margin="0" Text="fd" BackgroundColor="Red" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
<Label Text="fd" BackgroundColor="Red" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
</StackLayout>

After executing the code only tabs are showing up, not ToolbarItems.
Wrap your page in a NavigationPage.
I'm guessing you're setting your MainPage in the App.xaml.cs now like: MainPage = new ParentDashboard();
Set this to be: MainPage = new NavigationPage(new ParentDashboard());

Vertical text align on side menu xamarin.forms

I have been trying to centralize the text- "Hello Janine Alexander" on this side menu but to no avail. I have tried YAlign="Center" and also VerticalTextAlignment="Center" but neither have moved it even an inch down. Any help will be appreciated. I do think its in the navigation bar resulting in it not moving vertically down.How do i fix this
Here is the complete xaml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<MasterDetailPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"

</NavigationPage>
</MasterDetailPage.Detail>
</MasterDetailPage>
It looks like you're adding it to the Navigation bar of the MasterDetailPage. If so, you're not going to be able to move it down. What I did on my app was to remove the navigationbar in the MasterDetailPage and in the content page I added the label with binding to add the name of the logged in user.

If that's not the issue please add the code that is wrapping the label to get a better idea of what could be happening.

Xamarin Forms stacklayout fill screen on landscape

How can I do stacklayout take all screen width when device is in Landscape?
in Landscape mode stacklayout does not fill parent
here is my Xaml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ListView"
x:Class="ListView.MainPage">
<ContentPage.Content>
<AbsoluteLayout BackgroundColor="Silver" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" BackgroundColor="Maroon" VerticalOptions="StartAndExpand">
<Button Text="Reload data" Clicked="reloadData" x:Name="btnReload"/>
<ListView x:Name="listView">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="#eee" Orientation="Vertical">
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<Image Source="{Binding Imagen}" HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="120"/>
<Label Text="{Binding Titulo}" TextColor="Gray"/>
<Label Text="{Binding Fecha}" HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand"/>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</StackLayout>
<ActivityIndicator BackgroundColor="Green" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds=".5,.5,.2,.2" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All" Color="Blue"
IsRunning="True" IsVisible="False" x:Name="overlay"/>
</AbsoluteLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
I want stacklayout take screen width on landscape; but only on portrait is work.
When controls are direct children of an AbsoluteLayout setting HorizontalOptions and VerticalOptions has no effect. All of the sizing must come from setting AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds and AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags. So try changing your StackLayout to this:
<AbsoluteLayout BackgroundColor="Silver"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical"
BackgroundColor="Maroon"
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0,0,1,1"
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All">
...
Then you also may need to set your ListView.HorizontalOptions to FillAndExpand but try without that first.
