Chapter 9. Working with Animations in Xamarin.Forms

In the previous chapter, we learned how to customizeDataTemplates to lay out your Views beautifully and neatly in your application's user interface by modifying your ContentPages (Views).

You also learned how to create, implement, and use the various styles in your XAML pages, prior to getting accustomed to working with the PlatformEffects API to customize the appearance and styling of native control elements for each platform by creating ButtonShadow and LabelShadow classes that inherit from the PlatformEffect class for each platform.

You then learned how to set up your margins and padding for each platform using the OnPlatform XAML tag, before moving on to learning how to manipulate the visual appearance of data-bound fields using ValueConverters and ImageConverters.

In this chapter, you will learn how to work with the various Animation classes that come as part of the Xamarin.Forms platform, so that you can apply really cool animations...
