Hi Genoveva,  
  
Thank you for using syncfusion support.  
  
#Regarding How to change the DataTemplate depending on Layout.  
We have checked your reported query from our end. You can achieve your requirements with the help of DataTemplateSelector. Inside the OnSelectTemplate override method, you can return the DataTemplate according to the SfListView ‘s layout from the container.  
  
Code snippet  




class MyDataTemplateSelector : Xamarin.Forms.DataTemplateSelector  
    {  
        public DataTemplate LinearLayoutDataTemplate { get; set; }  
        public DataTemplate GridLayoutDataTemplate { get; set; }  
  
        public MyDataTemplateSelector()  
        {  
  
        }  
  
        protected override DataTemplate OnSelectTemplate(object item, BindableObject container)  
        {  
            var listView = container as SfListView;  
            var layoutManager = listView.LayoutManager;  
            return (layoutManager is LinearLayout) ? this.LinearLayoutDataTemplate : this.GridLayoutDataTemplate;  
        }  
    }
