Xamarin.Forms Cells

Download Sample Download the sample

Xamarin.Forms cells can be added to ListViews and TableViews.

A cell is a specialized element used for items in a table and describes how each item in a list should be rendered. The Cell class derives from Element, from which VisualElement also derives. A cell is not itself a visual element; it is instead a template for creating a visual element.

Cell is used exclusively with ListView and TableView controls. To learn how to use and customize cells, refer to the ListView and TableView documentation.

Cells

Xamarin.Forms supports the following cell types:
