Xamarin.Forms GridView

March 14, 2015 xamarin, xamarin-forms, gridview, C# edit

So I’ve decided to take a stab at blogging. Not sure how well I’ll do, but I get asked often enough for help that I figure I ought to share the knowledge as best I can.

I get asked on a semi-regular basis on how to implement a GridView on Xamarin.Forms. I’ve done this successfully in two projects now, and although it’s not totally bindable, it’ll get the job done for most use cases. I tried using the XLabs GridView, but I really had a difficult time getting it to work properly.

So here it is, it’s fully implemented in the PCL, so there is no custom renderer to deal with.

If anyone is up for adding full Binding support, I’d be more than thrilled.

here are a few examples of my last two apps using a gridview.
