Xamarin.Forms FlexLayout samples styled in a variety of ways: directly, XAML Styles, XAML Styles in a Resource Dictionary, CSS inline, and CSS loaded from a StyleSheet.

Flexibility Sample App

A series of layout exercises to explore layouts that can be achieved with the new Flexbox inspired layout, aptly named FlexLayout. This layout doesn't replace all others, but is most appropriate for:

• promoting a flat, and thus more performant view hierarchy
• layouts that depend on spacing and distribution of content
• layouts that need to adapt to a variety of different screen dimentions

FlexLayout and CSS require Xamarin.Forms 3.0.0+

I also styled each page with a slightly different method, including:

• direct styling
• XAML Style blocks
• XAML Styles loaded form a separate ResourceDictionary
• CSS loaded from a StyleSheet
• CSS in the XAML page

The LoginPage also demonstrates the new VisualStateManager.

Unable to restore Nuget packages!

Unable to find version '3.1.0.278271-nightly' of package 'Xamarin.Forms'. https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json: Package 'Xamarin.Forms.3.1.0.278271-nightly' is not found on source 'https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json'.

I am using Visual Studio for Mac which gives less control over the packages in the project. Is there a way to set the nuget to restore from prerelease?

Can't Add Floating XAML file to Project?

Hey there,

Looking forward to trying out all these new things in XF so I installed the latest pre-release package and wanted to give the resource dictionary source references a go but when I attempt to add a .xaml file to any folders I get this error:

Microsoft Visual Studio

Cannot add 'Converters\ConverterRD.xaml' to the project, because the path is explicitly excluded from the project (C:\Users\MZ.nuget\packages\xamarin.forms\3.0.0.296286-pre2\build\netstandard2.0\Xamarin.Forms.DefaultItems.targets (15,3)).

OK

Thoughts?

PhotosPage.xaml does not use MonekeysViewModel arrays

PhotosPage.xaml does not use MonekeysViewModel arrays. I am not sure is this intentional or missing a check in?
