How to create image button in Xamarin.Forms Button?
This KB article explains how to create the image button using Xamarin.Forms button.
Create image button with ImageSource
You can create an image button by using the ImageSource property that is used to set the image in button. In addition, you have to set the value of the ShowIcon property as true.
The following code example shows how to use ImageSource to instantiate an image button.
<button:SfButton ShowIcon="True" BackgroundColor="DeepSkyBlue" HeightRequest="50" WidthRequest="45" CornerRadius="5" ImageSource="alarm.png"/>
The following image illustrates the result of the code.
Create image button with content
The Content property on our button is used to add any content view inside the button. You can use this Content property to create an image button.
The following code example shows how to use Content to instantiate an image button.
<button:SfButton BackgroundColor="DeepSkyBlue" CornerRadius="5" > <button:SfButton.Content> <Grid HeightRequest="45" WidthRequest="100" Margin="15"> <Image Source="alarm.png" /> </Grid> </button:SfButton.Content> </button:SfButton>
