A series of layout exercises to explore layouts that can be achieved with the new Flexbox inspired layout, aptly named FlexLayout. This layout doesn't replace all others, but is most appropriate for:
- promoting a flat, and thus more performant view hierarchy
- layouts that depend on spacing and distribution of content
- layouts that need to adapt to a variety of different screen dimentions
I also styled each page with a slightly different method, including:
- direct styling
- XAML Style blocks
- XAML Styles loaded form a separate ResourceDictionary
- CSS loaded from a StyleSheet
- CSS in the XAML page
This app is using the latest nightly build of Xamarin.Forms.
The LoginPage also demonstrates the new VisualStateManager.
