You can enable or disable ListViewItem swiping conditionally in Xamarin.Forms SfListView using the binding context property. XAML Defined SfListView with LeftSwipeTemplate, RightSwipeTemplate and set the AllowSwiping Property to True <ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ListViewXamarin" xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.ListView.XForms;assembly=Syncfusion.SfListView.XForms" x:Class="ListViewXamarin.MainPage"> <ContentPage.BindingContext> <local:ContactsViewModel/> </ContentPage.BindingContext> <ContentPage.Behaviors> <local:Behavior/> </ContentPage.Behaviors> <ContentPage.Content> <StackLayout> <syncfusion:SfListView x:Name="listView" ItemSpacing="1" AllowSwiping="True" AutoFitMode="Height" SelectionMode="None" ItemsSource="{Binding contactsinfo}"> <syncfusion:SfListView.ItemTemplate > <DataTemplate> <ViewCell> <ViewCell.View> <Grid x:Name="grid" BackgroundColor="{Binding BackgroundColor}"> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="*" /> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Grid RowSpacing="0"> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="70" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Image Source="{Binding ContactImage}" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center" HeightRequest="50" WidthRequest="50"/> <Grid Grid.Column="1" RowSpacing="1" VerticalOptions="Center"> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="*" /> <RowDefinition Height="*" /> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Label Text="{Binding ContactName}"/> <Label Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding ContactNumber}"/> </Grid> </Grid> </Grid> </ViewCell.View> </ViewCell> </DataTemplate> </syncfusion:SfListView.ItemTemplate> <syncfusion:SfListView.LeftSwipeTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Grid BackgroundColor="Black"> <Label Text="Left Swipe" TextColor="White" FontAttributes="Bold" VerticalTextAlignment="Center" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"/> </Grid> </DataTemplate> </syncfusion:SfListView.LeftSwipeTemplate> <syncfusion:SfListView.RightSwipeTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Grid BackgroundColor="Black"> <Label Text="Right Swipe" TextColor="White" FontAttributes="Bold" VerticalTextAlignment="Center" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"/> </Grid> </DataTemplate> </syncfusion:SfListView.RightSwipeTemplate> </syncfusion:SfListView> </StackLayout> </ContentPage.Content> </ContentPage> C# Defining BackgroundColor property in Model namespace ListViewXamarin { public class Contacts : INotifyPropertyChanged { … private Color backgroundColor; public Color BackgroundColor { get { return backgroundColor; } set { backgroundColor = value; this.RaisedOnPropertyChanged("BackgroundColor"); } } public Contacts() { } public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged; public void RaisedOnPropertyChanged(string _PropertyName) { if (PropertyChanged != null) { PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(_PropertyName)); } } } } C# Populating BackgroundColor property in the ViewModel namespace ListViewXamarin { public class ContactsViewModel { public ObservableCollection<Contacts> contactsinfo { get; set; } public ContactsViewModel() { contactsinfo = new ObservableCollection<Contacts>(); GenerateInfo(); } public void GenerateInfo() { … for (int i = 0; i < CustomerNames.Count(); i++) { … if(i%2 == 0) { contact.BackgroundColor = Color.LightGreen; } else { contact.BackgroundColor = Color.LightGray; } contactsinfo.Add(contact); } } } } C# Based on the BackgroundColor property the swipe is disabled namespace ListViewXamarin { public class Behavior : Behavior<ContentPage> { SfListView sfListView; protected override void OnAttachedTo(ContentPage bindable) { sfListView = bindable.FindByName<SfListView>("listView"); sfListView.SwipeStarted += SfListView_SwipeStarted; base.OnAttachedTo(bindable); } private void SfListView_SwipeStarted(object sender, Syncfusion.ListView.XForms.SwipeStartedEventArgs e) { if((e.ItemData as Contacts).BackgroundColor == Color.LightGray) { e.Cancel = true; } } protected override void OnDetachingFrom(ContentPage bindable) { sfListView.SwipeStarted -= SfListView_SwipeStarted; sfListView = null; base.OnDetachingFrom(bindable); } } } Output View sample in GitHub
You can swipe an item programmatically by using the SwipeItem method of Xamarin.Forms SfListView. XAML <ContentPage.Content> <StackLayout> <Grid HeightRequest="50"> <Button x:Name="RightSwipe" Text="Right Swipe Button" /> <Button x:Name="LeftSwipe" Text="Left Swipe Button" Grid.Column="1"/> </Grid> <listView:SfListView x:Name="listView" ItemSize="70" SelectionMode="Single" AllowSwiping="True" ItemSpacing="0,0,5,0" > <listView:SfListView.LeftSwipeTemplate> <DataTemplate> <ViewCell> <ViewCell.View> <Grid BackgroundColor="SlateBlue" HorizontalOptions="Fill" VerticalOptions="Fill"> <Label Text="Left Swipe Template" TextColor="White" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center"/> </Grid> </ViewCell.View> </ViewCell> </DataTemplate> </listView:SfListView.LeftSwipeTemplate> <listView:SfListView.RightSwipeTemplate> <DataTemplate> <ViewCell> <ViewCell.View> <Grid BackgroundColor="SlateBlue" HorizontalOptions="Fill" VerticalOptions="Fill"> <Label Text="Right Swipe Template" TextColor="White" VerticalOptions="Center"/> </Grid> </ViewCell.View> </ViewCell> </DataTemplate> </listView:SfListView.RightSwipeTemplate> </listView:SfListView> </StackLayout> </ContentPage.Content> C# You need to pass the item to be swiped and SwipeOffset as parameter in the SwipeItem method. The SwipeOffset value should be positive for LeftSwiping of ListViewItem. private void LeftSwipeButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e) { ListView.SwipeItem(viewModel.contactsinfo[1], 200); } The SwipeOffset value should be negative for RightSwiping of ListViewItem. private void RightSwipeButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e) { ListView.SwipeItem(viewModel.contactsinfo[1], -150); } Screenshot Download sample in GitHub
