How to use Picker as country Picker in .NET MAUI Picker (SfPicker)?

In this article, you will learn how to transform the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Picker control into a versatile country selector. This demonstration guides you through initializing and customizing the picker, including setting headers, footers, and item sources.

XAML:

Initialize the SfPicker control, and use the HeaderView and FooterView properties of SfPicker to customize the picker.

<picker:SfPicker x:Name="picker">
 <picker:SfPicker.HeaderView>
   <picker:PickerHeaderView Text="Select a Country" Height="40">
   </picker:PickerHeaderView>
 </picker:SfPicker.HeaderView>
 <picker:SfPicker.FooterView>
   <picker:PickerFooterView Height="40">
   </picker:PickerFooterView>
 </picker:SfPicker.FooterView>
</picker:SfPicker>

C#:

Set the ItemSource property of the PickerColumn class as illustrated in the following code to bind the item source to the picker.

ObservableCollection<object> countryName = new ObservableCollection<object>();
countryName.Add("UnitedStates");
countryName.Add("Qatar");
countryName.Add("India");
countryName.Add("Germany");
countryName.Add("Spain");
countryName.Add("Malaysia");
countryName.Add("Netherlands");
countryName.Add("Mexico");

PickerColumn pickerColumn = new PickerColumn()
{
