how to set a label object above an object image Xamarin forms

Question

I tried several solutions, but still remains below, the tests that I have done are: first solution

<RelativeLayout x:Name="locationLayout" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" VerticalOptions="End" HorizontalOptions="End">
   <Image x:Name="locationIcon"/>
   <Label Text="Posizione" x:Name="posizioneLabel" TextColor="#fff" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" FontSize="Medium"></Label>
</RelativeLayout>

I would like that the label was above image, I have to make a hover effect.

you can find a solution that dynamically over the image remains the label object in the bottom?

Answer 1

You could try putting the objects in the same Grid

<Grid>
   <Image x:Name="locationIcon"/>
   <Label Text="Posizione" x:Name="posizioneLabel" TextColor="#fff" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" FontSize="Medium"></Label>
</Grid>

This will render the Image at the back and the text ontop centered horizontally at the top

Answer

The best way to accomplish this is to create the view in the C# code-behind, because, in the code-behind, we can take advantage of using Func s to dynamically resize our UI and align the UI relative to other elements.

Sample Code

using System;

using Xamarin.Forms;

namespace SampleApp
{
    public class App : Application
    {
        public App()
        {
            var floatingLabel = new Label
            {
                Text = "This Label Is Centered"
            };

            var circleImage = new Image
            {
                Source = "circle"
            };

            var relativeLayout = new RelativeLayout();

            Func<RelativeLayout, double> getfloatingLabelHeight = (p) => floatingLabel.Measure(p.Width, p.Height).Request.Height;
            Func<RelativeLayout, double> getfloatingLabelWidth = (p) => floatingLabel.Measure(p.Width, p.Height).Request.Width;

            Func<RelativeLayout, double> getCircleImageHeight = (p) => circleImage.Measure(p.Width, p.Height).Request.Height;
            Func<RelativeLayout, double> getCircleImageWidth = (p) => circleImage.Measure(p.Width, p.Height).Request.Width;

            relativeLayout.Children.Add(circleImage,
                Constraint.RelativeToParent(parent => parent.Width / 2 - getCircleImageWidth(parent) / 2),
                Constraint.RelativeToParent(parent => parent.Height / 2 - getCircleImageHeight(parent) / 2)
            );
            relativeLayout.Children.Add(floatingLabel,
                Constraint.RelativeToView(circleImage, (parent, view) => view.X + getCircleImageWidth(parent) / 2 - getfloatingLabelWidth(parent) / 2),
                Constraint.RelativeToView(circleImage, (parent, view) => view.Y + getCircleImageHeight(parent) / 2 - getfloatingLabelHeight(parent) / 2)
            );

            MainPage = new ContentPage { Content = relativeLayout };
        }
    }
}
