Xamarin.Forms ListView – Syncfusion Xamarin UI Controls

The Xamarin.Forms ListView control is a list-like interface used to render a set of data items in a vertical or horizontal orientation with visual representation of linear or grid structure. It supports all the essential features such as swiping, template selectors, horizontal and vertical orientations, pull-to-refresh, load more, reordering items, autofitting items, and more. It also supports sorting, grouping, and filtering with optimizations for working with large amounts of data.

Data binding

Data binding works out of the box for the most popular data sources such as Lists, ObservableCollection, and more. Load data from data sources and sort, group, and filter out of the box.

High performance

The Xamarin ListView provides the best possible performance on the Xamarin platforms with an optimized reuse strategy, smooth scrolling experience, and virtualization, even when loading large data sets.

Tap, double-tap, and hold selection gestures.

Apply a background color to the selected item.
Disable selection.
