When your app is all about the images, sometimes you want your images to be hero of the UI.  That’s what this weeks Xamarin.Forms Layout Challenge is all about.    Normally I prefer a light themed application, so just to change things up a bit, I thought I would go for a dark themed layout. They say, variety is the spice of life.

当你的app充满了图片，你有时想让你的图片成为UI的主角. 这周的Xamarin.Forms 布局挑战就是关于此的.我通常更喜欢主题是明亮的app，为了改变这一点，我觉得我应该试试黑暗主题的布局.他们说,丰富多彩是生活的情趣所在.

Page Layout

The page layout, not surprisingly is really just a ListView.  I played around with adding a bit of spice by making the ListView have a transparent background and put a purple gradient behind the ListView.  I’m not sure it’s great, but kind of interesting, none-the-less.

页面布局，没什么可惊喜的，真的只有ListView. 通过让ListView的BackGround透明，把紫色渐变图片放在ListView的后面. 我不确定这样做很棒，但是至少很有趣.

    <Grid>
    <Image Source="ColoredBackground" VerticalOptions="Fill" HorizontalOptions="Fill" Aspect="Fill"/>
    <ListView x:Name="placeList"
        BackgroundColor="Transparent"
        RowHeight="200" ItemsSource="{Binding .}" SeparatorVisibility="None">

The ViewCell

The ViewCell is pretty straight forward.  The whole cell is a Grid of 2 rows.

The “Hero Image” spans both the rows.  At the bottom, I included a slight “Transparent to Black” overlay that helps the text to be more readable at the bottom

ViewCell真的很简单，整个Cell只有一个包含两行的Grid。Hero Image占了两行。在底部，我设置了一个从透明到黑色的图片去覆盖原有的图片，这样做是为了让底部的文字更容易被阅读.

<Grid RowSpacing="5" ColumnSpacing="0" Margin="10,5" >
  <Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
    <RowDefinition Height="AUTO"/>
  </Grid.RowDefinitions>

  <Image Source="{Binding HeroImage}" Aspect="AspectFill" Grid.RowSpan="2" />
  <Image Source="ShadowOverlay" Grid.RowSpan="2"  Aspect="Fill" VerticalOptions="End" HorizontalOptions="Fill" />

The text parts are  done with a Grid that occupies the 2nd row

文字部分,是一个位于Grid的第二行的Grid.

<Grid Margin="10" RowSpacing="10" ColumnSpacing="10" Grid.Row="1">
  <Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <RowDefinition Height="AUTO"/>
    <RowDefinition Height="25"/>
  </Grid.RowDefinitions>
  <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="25"/>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="AUTO"/>
  </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

  <Label Text="{Binding Title}"  Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Style="{StaticResource TitleLabel}" LineBreakMode="NoWrap"/>

  <controls:CircleImage Source="{Binding ProfileImage}" Aspect="AspectFill" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" WidthRequest="25" HeightRequest="25" />

  <Label Text="{Binding Handle}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" VerticalOptions="Center" Style="{StaticResource HandleLabel}" />

  <StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal"  VerticalOptions="Center" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="1" Spacing="5">
    <Image Source="Eye"/>
    <Label Text="{Binding ViewCount, StringFormat=‘{0:N0}‘}" Style="{StaticResource HandleLabel}" />
    <Label Text="views" Style="{StaticResource BodyLabel}"/>
  </StackLayout>

</Grid>

You’ll notice that I have used the CircleImage plugin from James Montemagno.  It just requires a little reference to the namespace at the top of the page:

你会注意到，我是用了CircleImage 插件，在Page的顶部需要写明 命名空间的引用.

xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:ImageCircle.Forms.Plugin.Abstractions;assembly=ImageCircle.Forms.Plugin.Abstractions"

Also for the viewcount, I added a little bit of string formatting, which is a nice little binding feature, to show the comma’s in the ViewCount.

在ViewCount，我添加了一点string formatting，是绑定的一部分，用来展示逗号.

<Label Text="{Binding ViewCount, StringFormat=‘{0:N0}‘}" Style="{StaticResource HandleLabel}" />

How does it scale

It even doesn’t look too bad in landscape…

在风景图上面的表现也相当不错.

Wrap Up

So that is it, a simple image ListView.

I thought I should also mention a couple of places I go to get nice images for mockups

• For random user data and images you can go to RandomUser.me
• For some really nice royalty free images you can use Unsplash.com

As always, and you can grab the project over at https://github.com/kphillpotts/XamarinFormsLayoutChallenges

Also, make sure you check out some of the other layouts in Xamarin.Forms Layout Challenges.

Happy Layouts!
