NuGet to use ODataClient in your application

You need to install the Simple.OData.Client to your application to feed the OData to SfListView.

Fetches the OData using ODataClient using the OData library.

private void SetSource(IEnumerable<Package> packages)
{
    Packages = packages.Select(x => new PackageViewModel(x));
}

private async Task<IEnumerable<Package>> GetPackages()
{
    var odataClient = new ODataClient("https://nuget.org/api/v1");
    var command = odataClient
        .For<Package>("Packages")
        .OrderByDescending(x => x.DownloadCount)
        .Top(20);

    command.OrderBy(x => x.Id);
    command.Filter(x => x.Title.Contains("Xamarin") && x.IsLatestVersion);
    command.Select(x => new { x.Id, x.Title, x.Version, x.LastUpdated, x.DownloadCount, x.VersionDownloadCount, x.PackageSize, x.Authors, x.Dependencies });

    return await command.FindEntriesAsync();
}

Bind the OData to SfListView.

<syncfusion:SfListView ItemsSource="{Binding Packages}"
                        AutoFitMode="DynamicHeight">
    <syncfusion:SfListView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <ViewCell>
                <ViewCell.View>
                    <StackLayout Padding="5,5"
                                    Orientation="Vertical"
                                    VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
                        <Label Text="{Binding ShortSummary}"/>
                    </StackLayout>
                </ViewCell.View>
            </ViewCell>
        </DataTemplate>
    </syncfusion:SfListView.ItemTemplate>
