How to nest Tab views in Xamarin.Forms - xaml

Question

I am trying to create this layout in Xamarin XAML but I cannot figure out how to combine TabView within a TabView. I want 3 main tabs in the bottom and for each page 1-2 subtabs. On each subtab I will need to have a ScrollView(I think thats the right element to use) with list items, which makes it even more complex. Like this picture:
Any idea or guidance of how to achieve this?

If you want to do that, you could nest a TabView in Tabbed page.
TabView:https://github.com/chaosifier/TabView
Create three tab pages in views folder.
Tabbed Page:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<TabbedPage
x:Class="TabbedPageDemo.MainPage"
xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:Views="clr-namespace:TabbedPageDemo.Views"
xmlns:d="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms/design"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
BarBackgroundColor="Blue"
BarTextColor="White"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<Views:Tab1_Page Title="TAB1" />
<Views:Tab2_Page Title="TAB2" />
<Views:Tab3_Page Title="TAB3" />
</TabbedPage>
And then use TabView in you tab1 page.
Tab1_Page:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage
x:Class="TabbedPageDemo.Views.Tab1_Page"
xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms/design"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Xam.Plugin.TabView;assembly=Xam.Plugin.TabView"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<ContentPage.Content>
<local:TabViewControl>
<local:TabViewControl.ItemSource>
<local:TabItem HeaderText="SUBTAB1">
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="Start" Padding="10">
<Button
BackgroundColor="White"
Text="List Item"
TextColor="Black"/>
</StackLayout>
</local:TabItem>
<local:TabItem HeaderText="SUBTAB2">
<Image Source="pink.jpg" />
</local:TabItem>
</local:TabViewControl.ItemSource>
</local:TabViewControl>
</ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>
Please note, if you want to make the tabs in tabbed page in the bottom. Add the code below in your MainPage.
On<Android>().SetToolbarPlacement(ToolbarPlacement.Bottom);
You could download the code sample from GitHub in TabbedPage_NestedTabView/TabbedPageDemo
