Customization in CardView

You can customize the border color, thickness, and card corner radius by using the following properties:

BorderColor - Used to customize the card view border color.

BorderWidth - Used to customize the card view border thickness.

CornerRadius - Used to customize the card view corner radius.

XAML
C#
<StackLayout  HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Center">
        <cards:SfCardView BorderColor="Black" BorderWidth="5" CornerRadius="30,0,30,0" BackgroundColor="LightPink"  >
            <StackLayout Padding="10, 10, 0, 0" >
             <Label  Text="New York" FontSize="25" />
            <Label Text="Mon 3.00PM, Sunny" TextColor="Gray"/>
            <StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
                <Label Text="31°" FontSize="70" Padding="0, 0, 10,0"/>
                <Image  Source="Sun.png" HeightRequest="100" WidthRequest="100"/>
            </StackLayout>
        </StackLayout>
     </cards:SfCardView>
  </StackLayout>
StackLayout mainStack = new StackLayout()
            {
                HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center,
                VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center,
                Children =
                {
                    new SfCardView(){
                    Content =  new StackLayout()
                    {
                        Padding = new Thickness(10, 10, 0, 0),
                        Children =
                        {
                            new Label(){Text = "New York" , FontSize = 25},
                            new Label(){Text = "Mon 3.00PM, Sunny" , TextColor = Color.Gray},
                            new StackLayout()
                            {
                                Orientation  = StackOrientation.Horizontal,
                                Children =
                                {
                                    new Label(){Text = "31°" , FontSize = 70, Padding = new Thickness(0,0,10,0) },
                                    new Image(){Source = "Sun.png", HeightRequest = 100, WidthRequest = 100}
                                }
                            }

                    BorderColor = Color.Black,
                    BorderWidth = 5,
                    CornerRadius = new Thickness(30, 0, 30, 0),
                    BackgroundColor = Color.LightPink

Indicator customization

Indicators are used to indicate the state or level of something.

XAML
C#
<cards:SfCardView IndicatorColor="Cyan" HeightRequest="300" IndicatorThickness="12" IndicatorPosition="Left" >
            <Label  Text="SfCardView" VerticalTextAlignment="Center" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"/>
        </cards:SfCardView>
SfCardView cardView = new SfCardView() 
{     
    Content = new Label() 
    { 
        Text = "SfCardView", 
        HorizontalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center, 
        VerticalTextAlignment =  TextAlignment.Center
    },
    IndicatorThickness = 12,
    HeightRequest = 300,
    IndicatorPosition = IndicatorPosition.Left,
    IndicatorColor = Color.Cyan
};

FadeOutOnSwiping

FadeOutOnSwiping can be enabled when the card view needs to be faded with respect to swiping.

XAML
C#
<cards:SfCardView FadeOutOnSwiping="true"/>
SfCardView cardView = new SfCardView()
{
  FadeOutOnSwiping = true
};

NOTE

This property won’t work when adding the SfCardView as a child of SfCardLayout.

Shadow Effect

The CardView control provides shadow effect support. To enable shadow effect, set the HasShadow property to true.

You can customize the color of shadow using the ShadowColor property.

XAML
C#
<cards:SfCardView HeightRequest="300" HasShadow="True" ShadowColor="Red">
    <Label  Text="LightGray" BackgroundColor="LightGray"/>
</cards:SfCardView>
SfCardView sfCardView = new SfCardView() 
 { 
   Content = new Label() { Text = "LightGray", BackgroundColor = Color.LightGray },
   HasShadow = true,
   ShadowColor = Color.Red
 };

NOTE

This property will not work when adding the SfCardView as a child of SfCardLayout.
