Adding padding inside ViewCell xamarin - xaml

Question

I'm newbie when it comes to xamarin, also in XAML, I just want to ask how to add a padding inside my viewcell below is my code
<TableView>
<TableRoot>
<TableSection Title = "Basic information">
<EntryCell Label = "First name: " Placeholder = "Required" />
<EntryCell Label = "Middel name: " Placeholder = "Optional" />
<EntryCell Label = "Last name: " Placeholder = "Required" />
<ViewCell>
<Picker x:Name="genderPicker" Title = "Select gender"></Picker>
</ViewCell>
</TableSection>
</TableRoot>
</TableView>
what i want is to add a little bit padding inside of this code.
![<ViewCell>
<Picker x:Name="genderPicker" Title = "Select gender"></Picker>
</ViewCell>][1]
This is what it looks like, so i just want to add some left and right space on my picker view.

Answer 1

Something like this should works fine:
<Picker x:Name="genderPicker"
Title = "Select gender"
Padding="left, top, right, bottom">
</Picker>
With left,top,right and bottom the value you would like. More information here

Add a StackLayout, or any other Layout subtype that supports padding, inside your ViewCell. You can then use the Layout properties to adjust the Picker.
<ViewCell>
<StackLayout Padding="10,0,0,0" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<Picker HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" >
<Picker.Items>
<x:String>Disabled</x:String>
<x:String>5 minutes</x:String>
</Picker.Items>
<Picker.SelectedIndex>0</Picker.SelectedIndex>
</Picker>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell>
Unlike CSS or Android Views where you can tweak the controls themselves, you'll handle most of your padding using parent Layouts when working in Xamarin.Forms.
