Can you share the XAML of the page containing the carousel?

from carouselview.

 <AbsoluteLayout BackgroundColor="Yellow" VerticalOptions="Fill">
        <StackLayout BackgroundColor="Blue" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
            <controls:CarouselViewControl
                x:Name="IntroCarousel"
                ItemTemplate="{StaticResource myTemplateSelector}"
                ItemsSource="{Binding Pages}"
                PageIndicators="True"
                Position="0" />
        </StackLayout>
        <StackLayout
			AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="1,1,.5,1" 
			AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All"
            Orientation="Horizontal"
            VerticalOptions="End">
            <Button
                x:Name="prevBtn"
                IsVisible="false"
                Style="{StaticResource IntroPreviousBtnStyle}"
                Text="Previous" />
            <Button
                x:Name="nextBtn"
                Style="{StaticResource IntroNextBtnStyle}"
                Text="Next" />
        </StackLayout>
    </AbsoluteLayout>

I know whats the problem and i know how to solve but then it creates another one :)

from carouselview.

What is the new problem and what is the solution for the current one?

from carouselview.

I have the same plugin but for NativeScript and in that version i use UIView to hold the UIPageViewController and UIPageControl because of exactly the same problem you are facing. But in {N}, UIView size by itself, in Xamarin.Forms it doesn't :(

from carouselview.

I found whats the problem. Its a combination of the plugin issue and your XAML. Will work on it and let you know when i am releasing an update.

First, your xaml may look like this:

<AbsoluteLayout BackgroundColor="Yellow" VerticalOptions="Fill">
        <StackLayout BackgroundColor="Blue" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
			AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0,0,1,.9" 
			AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All">
            <controls:CarouselViewControl x:Name="myCarousel" Orientation="Horizontal" InterPageSpacing="10" PageIndicators="true" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
        </StackLayout>
        <StackLayout VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
			AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="1,1,1,.1" 
			AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All"
            BackgroundColor="Red"
            Orientation="Horizontal">
            <Button
                x:Name="prevBtn"
                IsVisible="false"
                Text="Previous" />
            <Button
                x:Name="nextBtn"
                Text="Next" />
        </StackLayout>
    </AbsoluteLayout>

from carouselview.

Your XAML is weird anyway because in this case you use a grid or StackLayouts :)

from carouselview.

No reason to use AbsoluteLayout in this scenario. It is memory consuming.

My fault the xaml code was not the current one, which is the same as yours. Anyway thanks for the fix.

This is what i have done that is community visible:

• Alex has been pretty active sharing his knowledge and answering questions in StackOverflow, GitHub and Xamarin Forums.
• Alex has been open sourcing Xamarin components and plugin with the community, with more of 10 repositories being maintained on GitHub.
• One of Alex's Xamarin.Forms plugin, the CarouselView, is currently being pulled into the Xamarin.Forms core (xamarin/Xamarin.Forms#853). As an stable widget, this control has become the standard for Xamarin.Forms carousel screens with more that 16K downloads in NuGet and more than 100 solved and not open issues.
• Another Alex's plugin, the SegmentedControl (https://github.com/alexrainman/SegmentedControl), is a big candidate to be also pulled into Xamarin.Forms core.
• Plus Xamarin.Forms UI related plugins, Alex shares plugins to set app icon Badge, Google Analytics and KeyChain access.
• Alex shares his knowledge about cutting edge technologies like Couchbase NoSQL and MobileIron integration with Xamarin Apps.
