Xamarin.forms: [Bug - Android] Carousel view items do not fill

[JKennedy24]

Description

Tested out this sample on Android:
https://github.com/pauldipietro/CollectionViewSample/issues

Following this blog post:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/xamarin/xamarin-forms-4-0-feature-preview-an-entirely-new-point-of-collectionview/

I downloaded the sample and updated to xamarin forms V4.0.0.482894

and clicked the CarouselView tab and each item is not filling the page as shown in this gif:

Instead each carousel item is measured as the smallest it can be

Steps to Reproduce

1. open sample on android and click carousel tab
2. see carousel items are not filling carousel page like gif
3.

Expected Behavior

carousel items should look like the gif

@JKennedy24 Thank you for the report. CarouselView is still in very early stages. We'll be sure to address this when we continue work on it.

I've been waiting since the original release of the carousel view in 2016 for a working xamarin.forms carousel view.

I'm currently using https://github.com/alexrainman/CarouselView but even this has its downfalls

• dont think its virtualising
• no infinite scrolling

@JKennedy24 The carouselView you mentioned doesnt work with XF 3.5 or later see: https://github.com/alexrainman/CarouselView/issues/489 This issue is blocking for us, and although the issue was closed a fix was never released.

We will continue to wait on the Carousel View provided by XF. CarouselView is a must have component in alot of apps we develop and we hope to see a stable CarouselView available soon.

Hi, can you still replicate the issue?

Can you remove the layout on the CarouselPage xaml? I think this was a old sample not using the correct linear layout.

[JKennedy24]

taking the Layout of the page works perfectly

Thanks!
