Load the SfListView inside the SfTabView in Xamarin.Forms ListView.

XAML

Define the SfListView in a separate XAML.

<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ListViewXamarin" 
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:sync="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.ListView.XForms;assembly=Syncfusion.SfListView.XForms"
             x:Class="TabViewSample.BookPage">
 
    <ContentPage.BindingContext>
        <local:BookInfoRepository />
    </ContentPage.BindingContext>
 
    <sync:SfListView x:Name="listView" ItemsSource="{Binding BookInfo}" ItemSize="100">
        <sync:SfListView.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Grid Padding="10">
                    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                        <RowDefinition Height="0.4*" />
                        <RowDefinition Height="0.6*" />
                    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <Label x:Name="label" Text="{Binding BookName}" FontSize="21" FontAttributes="Bold" />
                    <Label Grid.Row="1" Text="{Binding BookDescription}" FontSize="15" />
                </Grid>
            </DataTemplate>
        </sync:SfListView.ItemTemplate>
    </sync:SfListView>
</ContentPage>

XAML

Load the SfTabView in the MainPage.xaml.

<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ListViewXamarin"
             xmlns:tabView="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.XForms.TabView;assembly=Syncfusion.SfTabView.XForms"
             x:Class="ListViewXamarin.MainPage">
 
    <ContentPage.Content>
        <tabView:SfTabView VisibleHeaderCount="3" TabHeaderBackgroundColor="#dddddd">
            <tabView:SfTabView.Behaviors>
                <local:SfTabViewBehavior/>
            </tabView:SfTabView.Behaviors>
        </tabView:SfTabView>
    </ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>

Create ListView page instance and add it to the SfTabView.Items collection.

public class SfTabViewBehavior : Behavior<SfTabView>
{
    protected override void OnAttachedTo(SfTabView bindable)
    {
        BookPage bookPage = new BookPage();
        InboxPage inboxPage = new InboxPage();
        ContactPage contactPage = new ContactPage();
        bindable.Items.Add(new SfTabItem { Content = bookPage.Content, Title = "Books" });
        bindable.Items.Add(new SfTabItem { Content = inboxPage.Content, Title = "Inbox" });
        bindable.Items.Add(new SfTabItem { Content = contactPage.Content, Title = "Contacts" });
 
        base.OnAttachedTo(bindable);
    }
}
