The Xamarin Picker control is an item selector control, which can be opened as a dialog. It allows users to pick an item from a list that can be modified with custom views. Its rich feature set includes functionalities like data binding, multiple-column layout, cascading selection, and headers and footers with custom views.
Data binding works out-of-the-box for the most popular data sources. The Xamarin.Forms Picker control can automatically generate its columns based on data source structure
When the Xamarin Picker control populates a collection in a row, it will automatically be assumed as a single-column picker.
The Xamarin.Forms Picker control can populate two or more collections in a row. Also, users can define a column’s data source based on selected items from another column for a particular use case. For example, you can define two columns, “Country” and “State”, where the “State” column’s data source is dependent on the “Country” column’s selected item, thus creating a country-state picker.
Xamarin Picker can either be set directly to a layout as stand-alone or can show as a dialog on button click.
You can provide a heading to the control which is completely customizable such as different font, text color, etc.
You can provide a separate heading for each column. Column headers are completely customizable with different font, text colors, etc.
