The Syncfusion^® Xamarin control suite has been retired and is no longer in active development. We recommend migrating to our .NET MAUI controls, which deliver even more features, enhanced performance, and long-term support for modern, cross-platform applications.

Overview

The Xamarin Picker control is an item selector control that can be opened as a dialog. It allows users to pick an item from a list that can be modified with custom views. Its rich feature set includes functionalities like data binding, multiple-column layout, cascading selection, and headers and footers with custom views.

 <syncfusion:SfPicker x:Name="picker" />
 </ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>

using Syncfusion.SfPicker.XForms;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Xaml;

namespace GettingStarted
{
 [XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)]

 public partial class PickerSample : ContentPage
 {
 SfPicker picker;
 public PickerSample()
 {
 InitializeComponent();
 picker = new SfPicker();
 this.Content = picker;
 }
 }
}

Data binding

Data binding works out of the box for the most popular data sources. The Xamarin.Forms Picker control can automatically generate its columns based on the data source structure.

Header

Footer

The Xamarin.Forms Picker control provides validation buttons (OK and Cancel) in the footer, which determines whether or not to perform the selection operation. Also, the footer can hold a custom view.
