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.
<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.
<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.
<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.
<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 ofSfCardLayout
.
