1. {{{ScrollView}}} allows a page to flow outside of the viewable area of the screen and for you to scroll through the page. |
Chapter 4 Notes (start on "Frame and BoxView)
Title: Scrolling the Stack
Summary
All about scrolling a page that doesn't fit on the screen.
Programming Concepts Summary
Concept |
Page |
New Layouts were introduced: AbsoluteLayout, Grid, RelativeLayout, StackLayout, we'll be focusing on StackLayout |

Scrolling content - Using LayoutOptions.[Start|Center|End|Fill]AndExpand to allow the element that will scroll to fill the space |

Reflection and Linq to objects to create a list of Labels that show the results of different options |

BoxView is a filled rectangle |

Programs
ColorLoopPage
Page 61
Concepts:
- Colorizing text
Classes:
No new classes here.
ColorList
Page 62
Concepts: A more painful way of creating the colorized text of the previous program
Classes: No new classes.
ReflectedColors
Page 65
Concepts:
Reflection (See the .GetRuntimeFields() call)
ScrollView - actually scrolling the page.
- Luminosity of the font used to determine background color.
Used the Device to get a named font size GentNamedSize.
Classes:
VerticalOptionsDemo
Page
Concepts:
Linq to objects to create an IEnumerable<Label> set.
- Reflection
Classes: No new classes yet.
The image below shows the output. The Blue background text labels fit exactly the text contained in them. The yellow background text labels contain a label that has the "AndExpand" appended. These labels are not a different size (except the last one) but occupy a more spacious spot on the screen. The last one is a FillAndExpand and it actually does change the size of the Label because it fills the available space.
FramedTextPage
Page 75
Concepts:
This is just a Demo of BoxViewand Frameed text.
Classes:
BoxView
Frame
SizedBoxView (Can be skiped)
Page 78 - 80
Concepts:
Demo's BoxView as only content.
Demo's BoxView default 40x40 size.
Demo's WidthRequest and HeightRequest properties used for LayoutOpotions.Left|Right|Center. They contain "Request" because they are a request (over ridden by .Fill for example) and because Width and Height are read only.
Classes:
No new classes.
ColorBlocks
Page 80 - 81
Note: Spend time on this one as it is an excellent example of a more complex layout.
Concepts:
- Nested Layout concepts
- String.Format
Classes:
No new classes.
BlackCatPage
Page 83 - 86
Concepts:
- Scrolling text
- Reflection to get a text file resource - that is a text file stored in the program as a resource.
Reading from a Stream using a StreamReader
- using - I may have used this before, but this is a good place to talk about the using construct to define scope.
Classes:
ScrollView allows a page to flow outside of the viewable area of the screen and for you to scroll through the page.
