I prototyped an app in Windows Phone 8.1 (WP) I was able to create cool controls using the which would allow me to put Labels and other controls inside a button and this would glue them all together.
I am now rebuilding the app in Xamarin.Forms (XF). I am working around this issue for the time being in XF by using Absolute Layout but I fear and I am expecting this to fall apart over differnt phones, sizes and models.
I am certainly sure I am not the first to have this problem so I'm wondering how others have gotten around it.
Thank you :)
What I like doing in WP:
<Button Height="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="232,1,0,0" Name="BtnVisitorScore" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="220" Click="btnVisitorScore_Click" Grid.Row="1">
<StackPanel Margin="-5,-30,0,0" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding MatchSettings.VisitingTeam.Name}" Height="40" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="180" FontSize="18" FontFamily="Arial" TextAlignment="Center" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding VisitingTeamCurrentScore, StringFormat=N0}" Height="70" Width="180" FontSize="72" FontFamily="Arial" TextAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
</StackPanel>
</Button>
