CardsView

This plugin provides opportunity to create swipeable CardsView in Xamarin.Forms applications like Tinder app has.

CarouselView

You are able to setup CarouselView control, that is based on CardsView

Custom Animations

You are able to create custom animations, just implement ICardProcessor or extend created processors (change animation speed or type) https://github.com/AndreiMisiukevich/CardView/tree/master/PanCardView/Processors

Samples

The sample you can find here https://github.com/AndreiMisiukevich/CardView/tree/master/PanCardViewSample

C#:

-> Create CardsView and setup it

var cardsView = new CardsView
{
    ItemTemplate = new DataTemplate(() => new ContentView()) //your template
};
cardsView.SetBinding(CardsView.ItemsProperty, nameof(PanCardSampleViewModel.Items));
cardsView.SetBinding(CardsView.CurrentIndexProperty, nameof(PanCardSampleViewModel.CurrentIndex));

-> Optionaly you can create ViewModel... or not... as you wish

-> Indicators bar (For CarouselView, perhaps). It's easy to add indicators -> Just add IndicatorsControl into your carouselView as a child view.

carouselView.Children.Add(new IndicatorsControl());

XAML:

<cards:CarouselView 
    Items="{Binding Items}"
    CurrentIndex="{Binding CurrentIndex}">
    <cards:CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <ContentView>
                <Frame 
                    VerticalOptions="Center"
                    HorizontalOptions="Center"
                    HeightRequest="300"
                    WidthRequest="300"
                    Padding="0" 
                    HasShadow="false"
                    IsClippedToBounds="true"
                    CornerRadius="10"
                    BackgroundColor="{Binding Color}">
                    
                    <ffimage:CachedImage Source="{Binding Source}"/> 
                    
                </Frame>
            </ContentView>
        </DataTemplate>
    </cards:CarouselView.ItemTemplate>

    <controls:IndicatorsControl/>
</cards:CarouselView>

-> If you want to customize indicators, you need set SelectedIndicatorStyle and/or UnselectedIndicatorStyle, or you are able to extend this class and override several methods. Also you can customize position of indicators (You need to set Rotation / AbsoluteLayout Flags and Bounds etc.)

This class is describing default indicators styles (each default indicator item is Frame) https://github.com/AndreiMisiukevich/CardView/blob/master/PanCardView/Styles/DefaultIndicatorItemStyles.cs

Workarounds

-> If you want to put your cardsView/carouselView INTO scroll view, you should to use ParentScrollView instead of Xamarin.Forms.ScrollView.

-> If you want to put cardsView/carouselView INTO ListView or INTO any another scrollable view you should follow these steps

Create your own class and implement IOrdinateHandlerParentView interface (It's needede only for iOS, but do it into shared project)
Create the renderer for this class (For Android)

Check these classes (I implemented it for ParentScrollView. You can use it as example, nothing difficult :)) https://github.com/AndreiMisiukevich/CardView/blob/master/PanCardView/Controls/ParentScrollView.cs https://github.com/AndreiMisiukevich/CardView/blob/master/PanCardView.Droid/ParentScrollViewRenderer.cs
