Xamarin.Forms Xamarin Forms Layouts StackLayout
Example
StackLayout organizes views in a one-dimensional line ("stack"), either horizontally or vertically. Views in a StackLayout can be sized based on the space in the layout using layout options. Positioning is determined by the order views were added to the layout and the layout options of the views.
Usage in XAML
<StackLayout>
<Label Text="This will be on top" />
<Button Text="This will be on the bottom" />
</StackLayout>
Usage in code
StackLayout stackLayout = new StackLayout
{
Spacing = 0,
VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,
Children =
{
new Label
{
Text = "StackLayout",
HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Start
