1 min read

You can swipe an item programmatically by using the SwipeItem method of Xamarin.Forms SfListView.

XAML

<ContentPage.Content>
    <StackLayout>
        <Grid HeightRequest="50">
            <Button x:Name="RightSwipe" Text="Right Swipe Button" />
            <Button x:Name="LeftSwipe" Text="Left Swipe Button" Grid.Column="1"/>
        </Grid>
        <listView:SfListView x:Name="listView" ItemSize="70" SelectionMode="Single" AllowSwiping="True"
    ItemSpacing="0,0,5,0" >
            <listView:SfListView.LeftSwipeTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <ViewCell>
                        <ViewCell.View>
                            <Grid BackgroundColor="SlateBlue"  HorizontalOptions="Fill" VerticalOptions="Fill">
                                <Label Text="Left Swipe Template" TextColor="White" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center"/>
                            </Grid>
                        </ViewCell.View>
                    </ViewCell>
                </DataTemplate>
            </listView:SfListView.LeftSwipeTemplate>
            <listView:SfListView.RightSwipeTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <ViewCell>
                        <ViewCell.View>
                            <Grid BackgroundColor="SlateBlue" HorizontalOptions="Fill" VerticalOptions="Fill">
                                <Label Text="Right Swipe Template" TextColor="White" VerticalOptions="Center"/>
                            </Grid>
                        </ViewCell.View>
                    </ViewCell>
                </DataTemplate>
            </listView:SfListView.RightSwipeTemplate>
        </listView:SfListView>
    </StackLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>

You need to pass the item to be swiped and SwipeOffset as parameter in the SwipeItem method. The SwipeOffset value should be positive for LeftSwiping of ListViewItem.

private void LeftSwipeButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ListView.SwipeItem(viewModel.contactsinfo[1], 200);
}

The SwipeOffset value should be negative for RightSwiping of ListViewItem.

private void RightSwipeButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ListView.SwipeItem(viewModel.contactsinfo[1], -150);
}
