In a xamarin app, i have created a signature pad , and i have kept margin like
i want to keep a permanent heigh for the signature area irrespective of device and orientation,
i am not xamarin developer, And i dont have idea about xaml, still I tried Margin="200,200,200,200" , but it behaves weirdly when i change orientation.
in ipad in landscape mode the area is not at all visible.

You can remove the back button and add a custom back button.
1.remove the back button with code:
NavigationPage.HasBackButton="False"
2.Add a custom image and add TapGestureRecognizer event for the back button.
<NavigationPage.TitleView>
<AbsoluteLayout>
<Image AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0, 0.5" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="PositionProportional" WidthRequest="20" HeightRequest="20"
Source="back.png">
<Image.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="TapGestureRecognizer_Tapped"/>
</Image.GestureRecognizers>
</Image>
<Label Text="MyTitle" FontSize="20" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0.5, 0.5" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="PositionProportional" />
</AbsoluteLayout>
</NavigationPage.TitleView>
The whole sample code is:
<?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="FormApp0706.TestPage"
NavigationPage.HasBackButton="False"
>
<NavigationPage.TitleView>
<AbsoluteLayout>
<Image AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0, 0.5" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="PositionProportional" WidthRequest="20" HeightRequest="20"
Source="back.png">
<Image.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="TapGestureRecognizer_Tapped"/>
</Image.GestureRecognizers>
</Image>
<Label Text="MyTitle" FontSize="20" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0.5, 0.5" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="PositionProportional" />
</AbsoluteLayout>
</NavigationPage.TitleView>

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>
I am trying to incorporate a background image into my App using Xaml. I have tried various different methods but none seem to working. My code at the minute is
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Cabiee;assembly=Cabiee"
BackgroundImage="CabieBackground.jpg"
x:Class="Cabiee.Login">
<ContentPage.Content>
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" HeightRequest="500">
<Entry
x:Name="usernameEntry"
Placeholder="Email"/>
<Entry
x:Name="passwordEntry"
IsPassword="true"
Placeholder="*********"
Completed="PasswordEntry_Completed"/>
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
<Button
x:Name="BtnCustomer"
Text="Customer"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
FontSize="30"
Clicked="BtnCustomer_Clicked"/>
<Button
x:Name="BtnDriver"
Text="Driver"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
FontSize="30"
Clicked="BtnDriver_Clicked"/>
</StackLayout>
<RelativeLayout HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" >
<Button
x:Name="BtnRegister"
WidthRequest="300"
Text="Register"
FontSize="30"
Clicked="BtnRegister_Clicked"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
And this what my solution explorer looks like: https://gyazo.com/0af186bbca7e8456dfb1e7b1bafcb7ad
I have CabieBackground.jpg in my Resources folder so that is displays on android but when i run the code nothing appears on the screen, it just blank
The background image was made in photoshop, the dimensions are: 640px by 1136 px with a resolution of 600 pixels/inch
You need to put your image in drawable folder. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/user-interface/images?tabs=windows#local-images
As said in the comment, you should also ensure that the image has right properties as copy and paste make wrong properties.
I'm trying to set my image as a background for my app using BackgroundImage = "background.jpg", but I can't seem to scale it in any way in order to fit the whole image into the app, also, it doesn't show up at all on android. Here is the code and background image:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContentPage Padding="0, 40, 0, 0"
xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="RoseySports.Login_Page"
BackgroundImage="Background.jpg">
<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Center">
<Label Text="Email" HorizontalOptions="Center"/>
<Entry Keyboard="Email" WidthRequest="300" x:Name="email"/>
<Label Text="Password" HorizontalOptions="Center"/>
<Entry IsPassword="true" WidthRequest="300" x:Name="password"/>
<Button Text="Login" x:Name="login" Clicked="Handle_Clicked" TextColor="Navy"/>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage>
background.jpg ios adroid
Got it working by using this instead:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"

<Image AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0, 0, 1, 1"
Source="background.jpg" Aspect="AspectFill"/>
<ScrollView AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0, 0, 1, 1">
<StackLayout Padding="0, 40, 0, 0" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Center" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0">
<Label Text="Email" HorizontalOptions="Center" TextColor="White"/>
<Entry Keyboard="Email" WidthRequest="300" x:Name="email"/>
<Label Text="Password" HorizontalOptions="Center" TextColor="White"/>
<Entry IsPassword="true" WidthRequest="300" x:Name="password"/>
<Button Text="Login" x:Name="login" Clicked="Handle_Clicked" TextColor="Navy"/>
</StackLayout>
</ScrollView>
</AbsoluteLayout>
</ContentPage>
1.To use BackgroundImage property BackgroundImage="Background.jpg" in IOS you need to add the required image to an IOS asset catalog. Xamarin.Forms WILL NOT load an image into the BackgroundImage property when it is located in the Resources folder as for versions of IOS pre 7.
Read more for IOS asset catalog here.
2.You can also achieve this using Grid.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml">
<Grid>
<Image Aspect="AspectFill" x:Name="BGImageLogin" Source="Background.jpg" />
<ScrollView>
<StackLayout >
<Entry Placeholder="Username"/>
<Entry Placeholder="Password"
IsPassword="True"/>
<Button Text="Login""/>
</StackLayout>
</ScrollView>
</Grid>

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:

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.
