How to handle touch interaction using MR.Gesture in Xamarin.Forms ListView (SfListView)
You can load Xamrin.Forms SfListView inside Mr.Gesture’s page and use Gesture commands to handle touch.
Step 1: Install the Mr.Gesture Nuget package in the shared code project.
Step 2: Create your Xaml page by inheriting Mr.Gesture.ContentPage.
namespace ListViewXamarin
{
public partial class MainPage : MR.Gestures.ContentPage
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
}
Step 3: Create command in the ViewModel class and handle the touch in the command execute method.
namespace ListViewXamarin
{
public class ContactsViewModel
{
public Command<object> MrGestureTapCommand { get; set; }
public ContactsViewModel()
{
MrGestureTapCommand = new Command<object>(OnMrGestureCommandTapped);
}
private void OnMrGestureCommandTapped(object obj)
{
var tappedItem = obj as Contacts;
App.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Mr.Gesture tapped", tappedItem.ContactName + " tapped", "Ok");
}
}
}
Step 4: Add ListView to the content of the page. Add Mr.Gesture.Grid to the ItemTemplate of SfListView and bind ViewModel command to TappedCommand of Mr.Gesture.Grid.
