Xamarin.Forms Pages

Download Sample Download the sample

Xamarin.Forms Pages represent cross-platform mobile application screens.

All the page types that are described below derive from the Xamarin.Forms Page class. These visual elements occupy all or most of the screen. A Page object represents a ViewController in iOS and a Page in the Universal Windows Platform. On Android, each page takes up the screen like an Activity, but Xamarin.Forms pages are not Activity objects.
