Buttons should not be moved over based on amount of text in row.

[Ron Rex]

I am populating this ListView with data from a Database. Im assuming because the text in the label columns  are not fixed it causes the buttons to be moved to the right depending on the amount of text in the columns.  Maybe the label text should be a fixed width to accommodate the data for a column. But I want the buttons to remain aligned no matter how much text is on the rows. Also it would help if I had column headings. Should I take the button out of the item template by using a Grid Layout? Not sure how to do this any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ron Rex , 

We suspect that, In ItemTemplate you have used GridLayout inside template with Grid ColumnDefinition as Auto, which will measure the child of the elements placed inside the grid. you can achieve your requirement to align the Button at the end of the list. Please refer to the below code snippet for more reference.

Code snippet:

<syncfusion:SfListView.ItemTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<Grid Padding="10" Grid.Column="1" HeightRequest="100">

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />

<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<Label x:Name="label" Text="{Binding BookName}" FontSize="21" FontAttributes="Bold" LineBreakMode="WordWrap"/>

<Button Grid.Column="1"  Text="Do something" HorizontalOptions="End" BackgroundColor="Red"/>

</Grid>

</DataTemplate>

</syncfusion:SfListView.ItemTemplate>

Thanks for your help. But I have "several issues" with the way my Syncfusion  Listview behaves now as well as I have an issue with the way it looks. Below is the Xaml you recommended that i use and a screenshot of the listview.

 

<sf1:SfListView x:Name="listview" ItemsSource="{Binding RecipientList}" SelectedItem="{Binding      SelectedRecipient}" Margin="20,0,0,10" >

    <sf1:SfListView.ItemTemplate>

        <DataTemplate x:DataType="libmodel:RecipientsModel">

                           <Grid Padding="10" Grid.Column="1" HeightRequest="100">

                            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                                <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />

                                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />

                            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                            <Label x:Name="label1" Text="{Binding CODE}" FontSize="12" FontAttributes="Bold"                                                                     LineBreakMode="WordWrap"/>

                           <Button Grid.Column="1" Text="Do something" HorizontalOptions="End" BackgroundColor="Red"/>

                        </Grid>

        </DataTemplate>

    </sf1:SfListView.ItemTemplate>

</sf1:SfListView> 

But the model that I am binding the ListView to has more than one column. Using your Code I only see the data for one item in the list, not sure whats going on with that. And I dont understand why the buttons are not distinctely defined as belonging to one row, looks like they run together, not sure why the first button corners are not rounded. And the highlighted row You can see horizotally extends beyond the button, not sure why.

Ron Rex,

 

#Regarding no spacing between the buttons ,

 

In the provided code snippet , you have defined the Grid with HeightRequest as 100 which causes the odd alignment , Hence we recommend you to set the ItemSize property of SfListView to achieve your requirement.

Kindly refer the below code snippet for more reference.

 

Code snippet:

<sf1:SfListView x:Name="listview" ItemsSource="{Binding ToDoList}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedRecipient}"ItemSize="100" Margin="20,0,0,10" >

<sf1:SfListView.ItemTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<Grid Padding="10">

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />

<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<Label x:Name="label1" Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Name}" FontSize="12" FontAttributes="Bold"                                                                      LineBreakMode="WordWrap"/>

<Button Grid.Column="1" Text="Do something" HorizontalOptions="End" BackgroundColor="Red"/>

</Grid>

</DataTemplate>

</sf1:SfListView.ItemTemplate>

</sf1:SfListView>

 

 

#Regarding Multiple Columns on SfListView ,

 

We would like to inform you that the SfListView is designed to present items in a row-by-row format. To align data in columns, you need to include the property in a model object and bind the column within the grid in the ItemTemplate.

It seems you are looking to display columns with headings and require the buttons to stay aligned despite the varying text lengths in the rows. For this purpose, we recommend using the SfDataGrid, which should provide you with the desired user interface. Please confirm if this solution satisfies your needs.

I dont require displaying columns with headings but I do require the buttons to stay aligned despite the varying text lengths in the rows or having  multiple columns of text on a row and keeping the buttons aligned. Thanks !

Ron Rex,

We would like to inform you that you have the option to customize the `ItemTemplate` to include two columns. The configuration allows for a static button positioned at the end of the grid, while the other column can contain a varying number of items.

In the provided code snippet, you'll see that the `ItemTemplate` contains a grid divided into two columns. The first column is designed to hold text items, which you can adjust to include different quantities. The second column features a static button that is anchored at the end of the grid.

Code snippet:

<syncfusion:SfListView x:Name="listView"

                       AutoFitMode="DynamicHeight"

                        SelectionMode="Single"

                        ItemSpacing="0,0,5,5"

                        ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">

   

           <syncfusion:SfListView.ItemTemplate>

             <DataTemplate>

                <Grid ColumnDefinitions="*, Auto" Padding="0,0,10,0"  >

                    <Button Text="Swipe"

                            WidthRequest="100"      

                          HorizontalOptions="End"

                         Clicked="Button_Clicked"

                          Grid.Column="1" />

                    <Grid Padding="10" Grid.Column="0">

                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />

                            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />

                           <!--Include the columns as per the requirement-->

                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                        <Label x:Name="label"  VerticalOptions="Center" VerticalTextAlignment="Center"  Grid.Column="0" FontAttributes="Bold" FontSize="21"   Text="{Binding Title}" />

                        <Label x:Name="label1"   Grid.Column="1" FontAttributes="Bold" FontSize="21"   Text="{Binding Title2}" />

          <!--Include the Label as per the text to be displayed-->

                    </Grid>

                </Grid>

            </DataTemplate>

</syncfusion:SfListView.ItemTemplate>

</syncfusion:SfListView>

Additionally, for instances where the text is extensive and requires wrapping within the grid, we recommend setting the `AutoFitMode` to `DynamicHeight` on the SfListView. Also, adjust the label `LineBreakMode` to `WordWrap`. This will ensure the text is displayed properly without being cut off., Please let us know if you have any other queries
