Xamarin MasterPage - show/hide seperator line within menu - xaml

How do I show/hide the seperator line within the menu from a MasterPage? At the moment, all the lines seem to be enabled, but I don't know where they are coming from. I want to disable all line except the line between "Slaap" and "Persoonlijke gegevens". In this picture it looks like there are only two lines, but in reality you can see them all clearly.
MasterPage.xaml

First, your Listview should have the SeparatorVisibility=None,
In your local: MasterPageItem add a new Property IsSeparator, to identify which element will be separator
Then, in your listview
<ListView x:Name="listView" SeparatorVisibility="None" x:FieldModifier="public">
<ListView.ItemsSource>
<x:Array Type="{x:Type local:MasterPageItem}">
<local1:MasterPageItem Title="Home" IconSource="contacts.png" TargetType="{x:Type local:ItemsPage}" />
<local1:MasterPageItem Title="Sport" IconSource="contacts.png" TargetType="{x:Type local:SportPage}" />
<local1:MasterPageItem Title="Voeding" IconSource="reminders.png" TargetType="{x:Type local:VoedingPage}" />
<local1:MasterPageItem IsSeparator="true" Title="Slaap" IconSource="todo.png" TargetType="{x:Type local:SlaapPage}" />
<local1:MasterPageItem Title="Persoonlijke Gegevens" IconSource="todo.png" TargetType="{x:Type local:GegevensGewichtDoel}"/>
</x:Array>
</ListView.ItemsSource>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<Grid Padding="5,10">

<RowDefinition Height ="1"/>

<Image Source="{Binding IconSource}" />
<Label Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Title}" FontSize="17" />
<BoxView Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" HeightRequest="1" Color="Red" IsVisible="{Binding IsSeparator}">

I am using "KeyboardResizingAwareContentPage" page instead "ContentPage" because In ios Page is not set when keyboard is open. password field hide behind keyboard so users can not see whatever then typing. That's why I am using Render for content Page in IOs.
As Above images when I focus on username or password entry field two buttons are hide behind the keyboard. Client requirement is that at that time page should be scroll. How can I solve this problem? Is it possible through rendering? I am facing this issue in both the platform. (ios and android)
Even if you don't mean to scroll your page, use a ScrollView as the root of your Page, and put your grid in it.
This should fix it.

ViewCell not align correctly and cut part of content - Xamarin Forms

I have a ListView in Xamarin Forms XAML, in this ListView I want to draw a Grid with 4 labels and 1 Entry. My problem is that, when I try to display the ListView, its rows are superimposed and not all the content of the ViewCell, into the DataTemplate, is displayed.
I don't know what is my error.
Here my code:
<?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="iGuideTest.ExhibitionsPage"

<StackLayout VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center">
<Label Text="You are in the Exhibitions page" />
<Button Text="Return to LoginPage" Command="{Binding BackCommand}" />
<Label Text="{Binding exhibitionsList.Count}" />
<Button Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding surname}" Command="{Binding Edit}" />
<ListView x:Name="ListViewCouchbase" ItemsSource="{Binding exhibitionsList}"

</ListView>

Thanks in advance.
Try to use HasUnevenRows property:
<ListView HasUnevenRows="True">
...
</ListView>
Since you are using a Grid and you have Auto in RowHeight you will be better of setting HasUnevenRows property to true.
Also your grid is of dynamic size on its own, you can set its VerticalOptions to Fill.
Yes, i've been there :)
just set ListView RowHeight="xx" where xx is some double indicating the height.

Windows phone 8.1 Textblock width to Fill

I want to create the layout as shown in the following image's first section.
But with the code attached, I can only get the layout output as show in the bottom section of the image attached.
<ListView Grid.Row="1"
ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
Margin="0,20,0,0">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="40" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="NoWrap"
TextTrimming="WordEllipsis"
Grid.Column="0"
Text="{Binding Name}"
Style="{ThemeResource ListViewItemTextBlockStyle}" />
<Image Grid.Column="1"
Source="image.png"/>
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
You don't need the StackPanel in the DataTemplate - the Grid you have is enough for this.
Also, in order to get the items to stretch, define a simple ListView.ItemContainerStyle in your ListView:
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
So, full code:
<ListView Grid.Row="1"
ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
Margin="0,20,0,0">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="40" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="NoWrap"
TextTrimming="WordEllipsis"
Grid.Column="0"
Text="{Binding Name}"
Style="{ThemeResource ListViewItemTextBlockStyle}" />
<Image Grid.Column="1"
Source="image.png"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListView>
Try it
<ColumnDefinition Width="100" />
instead of Width="*"

UWP reference control outside of data template

I'm trying to create a listview that has column headers and the lists fields mimics the width of its corresponding header. No bindings fail but the textblocks width in the data template don't match up with their headers width. I'm guessing because the data template can't find the element. Any ideas to get this to work?
<Grid Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" x:Name="listViewHeaders" Height="50" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="10,0" >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<!--<controls:CustomGridSplitter/>-->
<TextBlock x:Name="nameHeader" Grid.Column="0" Text="Name" />
<TextBlock x:Name="typeHeader" Grid.Column="1" Text="Type" />
<TextBlock x:Name="colorHeader" Grid.Column="2" Text="Color" />
</Grid>
<ListView x:Name="ListView" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Background="#FF494949" Margin="10,50,10,0" ItemsSource="{Binding CurrentCardList}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=ListView}">
<!--<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>-->
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=nameHeader}" Text="{Binding Name}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=typeHeader}" Text="{Binding Type}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="2" Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=colorHeader}" Text="{Binding Color}" />
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListView>
The bindings work fine. But you're assuming that TextBlock elements in the header row will fill out the entire table cell, which they won't. They only fill as much space as much text they contain. In your case that's about 30px. You can find this information by using the Live Visual Tree feature of VS 2015.
You can solve the problem by wrapping the header TextBlock elements in another element that will fill out all available space, such as Border. Here's the solution:
<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<Grid x:Name="listViewHeaders" Height="50" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="10,0" >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<!--<controls:CustomGridSplitter/>-->
<Border Background="Blue" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="0" x:Name="nameHeader">
<TextBlock Text="Name" />
</Border>
<Border Background="Red" x:Name="typeHeader" Grid.Column="1">
<TextBlock Text="Type" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" />
</Border>
<Border Background="Yellow" x:Name="colorHeader" Grid.Column="2">
<TextBlock Text="Color" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" />
</Border>
</Grid>
<ListView x:Name="ListView" Background="#FF494949" Margin="10,50,10,0" ItemsSource="{Binding CurrentCardList}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=ListView}">
<!--<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>-->
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=nameHeader}" Text="{Binding Name}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=typeHeader}" Text="{Binding Type}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="2" Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=colorHeader}" Text="{Binding Color}" />
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListView>
</Grid>
This will create the following effect, which I believe is what you're after.
