Windows Phone 10: Multiple SplitView.Pane - windows-phone

In my Windows phone application, I'd like to have two SplitView.Pane: One on the left and one the right.
I've Added one SplitView.Pane to my SplitView without any problem, but when I try to add a second SplitView.Pane, Visual Studio complains that
The property Pane is set more than once
<SplitView x:Name="MySplitView" DisplayMode="CompactOverlay" IsPaneOpen="False"
CompactPaneLength="0" OpenPaneLength="200">
<SplitView.Pane>
<StackPanel Background="Gray">
<ListView x:Name="listView" Padding="0,5,0,0"/>
</StackPanel>
</SplitView.Pane>
<SplitView.Content>
<Grid Background="White">
<WebView x:Name="webProvider"
NavigationCompleted="webProvider_NavigationCompleted" />
</Grid>
</SplitView.Content>
<SplitView.Pane>
<StackPanel Background="Gray">
<Button x:Name="HamburgerButton" Content="test"
Width="50" Height="50" Background="Transparent"/>
</StackPanel>
</SplitView.Pane>
</SplitView>
Is there a way around this?
Answer
Rowland Shaw had the right idea of putting one SplitView inside another. This is the XAML I used to implement the arrangement.
<SplitView x:Name="MySplitView" DisplayMode="CompactOverlay" IsPaneOpen="False"
CompactPaneLength="0" OpenPaneLength="220">
<SplitView.Pane>
<StackPanel Background="#555">
<ListView x:Name="listView" Padding="0,5,0,0"/>
</StackPanel>
</SplitView.Pane>
<SplitView.Content>
<SplitView x:Name="RightSplitView" DisplayMode="CompactOverlay" IsPaneOpen="False"
FlowDirection="RightToLeft" CompactPaneLength="0" OpenPaneLength="200">
<SplitView.Content>
<Grid Background="White">
<WebView x:Name="webProvider"
NavigationCompleted="webProvider_NavigationCompleted" />
</Grid>
</SplitView.Content>
<SplitView.Pane>
<StackPanel Background="#555">
<ListView x:Name="rightListView" Padding="0,5,0,0"/>
</StackPanel>
</SplitView.Pane>
</SplitView>
</SplitView.Content>
</SplitView>

You have two Areas ... in your Code. You can only have own. If you really want to have two SplitViews. you have to add two controls to your page.

missing vertical scroll within ListView xaml uwp

am new in UWP and need to do a navigation drawer using SplitView, so my basic layout structure is mentioned below. The problem is that I don't have vertical scroll for list items, maybe I miss some params, any help is appreciated.
<SplitView
x:Name="MySplitView"
DisplayMode="CompactOverlay"
IsPaneOpen="True"
CompactPaneLength="50"
OpenPaneLength="280">
<!--navigation drawer-->
<SplitView.Pane>
<StackPanel
Background="Gray">
<StackPanel>
<ListView
x:Name="DrawerListOptions"
SelectionChanged="MySelectionChanged"
SelectionMode="Single"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock
Text="{Binding Title}"
FontSize="18"
Margin="5,0,0,0" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</SplitView.Pane>
<!--page stuff-->
<SplitView.Content>
<!--page code-->
</SplitView.Content>
</SplitView>
At first, change StackPanel to Grid
<SplitView x:Name="MySplitView"
PaneBackground="Gray"
DisplayMode="CompactOverlay"
IsPaneOpen="True"
CompactPaneLength="50"
OpenPaneLength="280">
<!--navigation drawer-->
<SplitView.Pane>
<Grid>
<ListView x:Name="DrawerListOptions"
SelectionChanged="MySelectionChanged"
SelectionMode="Single"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}"
FontSize="18"
Margin="5,0,0,0" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Grid>
</SplitView.Pane>
<!--page stuff-->
<SplitView.Content>
<!--page code-->
</SplitView.Content>
</SplitView>
If this does not help try to setup ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
UPDATE
If you want to place some elements above ListView use Grid.RowDefinitions
<SplitView.Pane>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackPanel>
<!--Other elements-->
</StackPanel>
<ListView x:Name="DrawerListOptions"
Grid.Row="1"
SelectionChanged="MySelectionChanged"
SelectionMode="Single"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}"
FontSize="18"
Margin="5,0,0,0" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Grid>
</SplitView.Pane>
How it works:
StackPanel has already a scrollviewer. Just set height in the listView and the scroller will come up. Without height listview doesn't understand that it goes at of the screen. This way you won't need to use a Grid. It worked for me!

Different XAML Hub content aligment in design mode and in emulator

I have a StackPanel representing the top bar and a Hub representing books items. Both wrapped in the grid with two rows.
The problem is that in design mode hub content aligned properly to the top, just below my top bar. But in emulator it looks like all content aligned to the center of the hub.
In design time it looks like this:
But in emulator it looks like this:
Here is my XAML code:
<Page.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="HubSectionHeaderTemplate">
<TextBlock Margin="0,0,0,-10" Text="{Binding}" FontSize="19" FontFamily="Open Sans" FontWeight="Light" FontStretch="ExtraExpanded" Foreground="#FF30323E">
<!--<TextBlock.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform/>
</TextBlock.RenderTransform>-->
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
<!-- Grid-appropriate item template as seen in section 2 -->
<DataTemplate x:Key="Standard200x180TileItemTemplate">
<Grid Margin="0,0,15,15" Background="{ThemeResource ListViewItemPlaceholderBackgroundThemeBrush}" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<Image Source="{Binding ImagePath}" Stretch="UniformToFill" AutomationProperties.Name="{Binding Title}" Height="165" Width="115"/>
<!--<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Margin="9.5,0,0,6.5" Style="{ThemeResource BaseTextBlockStyle}"/>-->
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</Page.Resources>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="60"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Margin="0,-25,0,0">
<StackPanel.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="Assets/CatalogTopBar.png" Stretch="UniformToFill"/>
</StackPanel.Background>
<Button x:Name="searchButton" Margin="0,25,-30,0" Height="15" Width="10" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Center" BorderThickness="0" >
<Button.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="Assets/noun_23695_cc.png" Stretch="Uniform"/>
</Button.Background>
</Button>
</StackPanel>
<Hub x:Name="Hub" x:Uid="Hub" Grid.Row="1" Background="White" Margin="0,25,0,0" VerticalContentAlignment="Top" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<HubSection x:Uid="HubSection2" Header="Популярные книги" Width="Auto"
DataContext="{Binding Groups[0]}" HeaderTemplate="{ThemeResource HubSectionHeaderTemplate}" >
<DataTemplate>
<GridView
Margin="0,-10,0,0"
ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
AutomationProperties.AutomationId="ItemGridView"
AutomationProperties.Name="Items In Group"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource Standard200x180TileItemTemplate}"
SelectionMode="None"
IsItemClickEnabled="True"
ItemClick="ItemView_ItemClick"
ContinuumNavigationTransitionInfo.ExitElementContainer="True">
<GridView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<ItemsWrapGrid />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</GridView.ItemsPanel>
</GridView>
</DataTemplate>
</HubSection>
</Hub>
</Grid>
</Page>
Ho-ho-ho... I finally managed to find the problem. After spending WEEKS!!! WEEKS, Carl! After spending few weeks I found out by accident that there is a MASSIVE "application name" <Hub.title> above my <Grid>.
It was not visible because of the white background and white font color of the text. By accidentally changing <RequestedTheme="Light"> I was finally able to see this text, because default font color changed to black. The text "application name" itself was not in my XAML source file, it was attached by localization facilities with x:Uid ="Hub" and corresponding value in resources.resw. After deleting x:Uid my layout returned to normal...

Two XAML GridViews in a StackPanel

For my Windows 8.1 XAML app, I am trying to create a XAML layout that resembles the following description:
One StackPanel that contains two GridViews (let's say GV1, GV2)
Each GridView contains images that are displayed through data binding
GV1 and GV2 should be horizontally stacked when screen is in landscape mode. Their width should be equal. The scrolling of images should be vertical.
GV1 and GV2 should be vertically stacked when screen is in portrait mode. There height should be equal. The scrolling of images should be horizontal.
I have tried several approaches using various combinations of GridViews, StackPanels, ScrollViewer etc. but nothing seems to work.
My latest attempt at creating a basic horizontal layout is here:
<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<StackPanel x:Name="theStackPanel" Orientation="Horizontal">
<GridView x:Name="firstGridView"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=FirstInputFileList}"
Margin="10,10,10,10"
SelectionMode="None">
<GridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<Image Source="{Binding Path=SrcImage}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="300" Height="225"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ItemTemplate>
</GridView>
<GridView x:Name="secondGridView"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=SecondInputFileList}"
Margin="10,10,10,10"
SelectionMode="None">
<GridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<Image Source="{Binding Path=SrcImage}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="120" Height="90"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ItemTemplate>
</GridView>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
Any pointers or some kind of pseudo XAML code would be really helpful.
I'd try this:
<Page

LongListSelector centered items unexpected position change

I have a LongListSelector control on a page in my Windows Phone 8 app. For this control I set a GroupHeaderTemplate and a ItemTemplate and both contain a TextBlock. If I align the TextBlock controls to center I have some weird behavior (maybe not weird but unexplainable to me at the moment). When I open the page on my phone the centered text moves ca. 5px to the right. The move is visible to the user (it's happening after the page is loaded). I tried to solve this problem but all margin changes (and other trials) did not change the behavior and my friend Google couldn't help me either. Can some explain to my why this is happening and how to solve this?
My code (simplified):
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="0">
<phone:LongListSelector x:Name="longList" LayoutMode="List" HideEmptyGroups ="true" Margin="5,0,5,5" ItemsSource="{Binding List, Mode=OneWay}" IsGroupingEnabled="True" Background="Transparent" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<phone:LongListSelector.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="itemTemplate">
<Grid Margin="10,10,10,0" Background="#FFF3F1F1" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<TextBlock x:Name="name" Margin="10" TextWrapping="NoWrap" Text="{Binding Name}" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontSize="40"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="groupHeaderTemplate">
<Grid Margin="10,10,10,0" Background="#FFF3F1F1" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<TextBlock x:Name="name" Margin="10" TextWrapping="NoWrap" Text="test" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontSize="40"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</phone:LongListSelector.Resources>
<!--<phone:LongListSelector.JumpListStyle>
<StaticResource ResourceKey="jumpListStyle"/>
</phone:LongListSelector.JumpListStyle>-->
<phone:LongListSelector.GroupHeaderTemplate>
<StaticResource ResourceKey="groupHeaderTemplate"/>
</phone:LongListSelector.GroupHeaderTemplate>
<phone:LongListSelector.ItemTemplate>
<StaticResource ResourceKey="itemTemplate"/>
</phone:LongListSelector.ItemTemplate>
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger EventName="SelectionChanged">
<i:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding SelectItemCommand}"
CommandParameter="{Binding SelectedItem, ElementName=longList}"/>
</i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
</phone:LongListSelector>
</Grid>
Thanks in advance

ListView alignment issue in Windows 8

I have a strange issue, I tried every trick I knew to centre align the ListView placed inside a grid. No matter what, it looks like it is left aligned. The width and height of the ListView is data bound. (Width can take values 350 or 700 and height can take 100 or 200 depending on the Size settings. If size settings is compact it should be 350x100 and and if normal 700x200).
This is the xaml code
<Grid x:Name="GridPageLVPortrait" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" Background="Beige" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,0,584.714,0" Width="781">
<ListView x:Name="PageLVPortrait" ItemsSource="{Binding}" CanReorderItems="True" AllowDrop="True" HorizontalAlignment="Center" SelectionMode="Single" IsSwipeEnabled="True" IsItemClickEnabled="True" SelectionChanged="PageLVPortraitSelectionChanged" ItemClick="PageLVPortraitItemClick" Height="{Binding TemplateHeight}" Width="{Binding TemplateWidth}" >
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Canvas HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="{Binding TemplateWidth}" Height="{Binding TemplateHeight}">
<Canvas.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="{Binding PageBackground}"/>
</Canvas.Background>
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Center" Height="{Binding TemplateHeight}" Width="{Binding TemplateWidth}" Source="{Binding Page}" Stretch="None" Opacity="1" CacheMode="BitmapCache" />
<StackPanel x:Name="EditDeleteStackPanel" Width="{Binding TemplateWidth}" Height="{Binding TemplateHeight}" Opacity="0.95">
<Button x:Name="NoteDelete" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top" Foreground="{x:Null}" Tapped="NoteDelete_Tapped" MinWidth="50" MinHeight="50" Margin="0,0,10,0" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" >
<Button.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="{Binding Delete}"/>
</Button.Background>
</Button>
<Button x:Name="NoteEdit" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top" FontFamily="Segoe Script" FontSize="24" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" Tapped="NoteEdit_Tapped" Foreground="{x:Null}" MinWidth="50" MinHeight="50" Margin="0,0,10,0">
<Button.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="{Binding Edit}"/>
</Button.Background>
</Button>
</StackPanel>
</Canvas>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Grid>
Could someone kindly help?
I've tried your code, in a whole page Grid with the normal dimension convention you provided (700x200). The listview does get center aligned if I ignore the grid's Margin="0,0,584.714,0". If you need the 584px in the right of the page, I'd say better put a grid's column there with that width.
I had found the issue. It is because the main grid is spit into 4 columns. And since this one uses columnspan, the alignment gets messed up.
