How to load the background image in .NET MAUI ListView (SfListView)?
To apply a background image to the .NET MAUI ListView (SfListView), you can overlay the ListView on an image by placing both elements in the same grid cell. This gives the appearance of the ListView having a background image.
XAML
Define your XAML layout with a Grid containing both an Image and SfListView. The grid allows these elements to overlap, achieving the desired background effect.
