Xamarin Forms differences between Android label and UWP

Xamarin Forms differences between Android label and UWP



This screenshot is the result of UWP as Startup Project. It is exactly what I want.

This screenshot is the result of Android as Startup Project. It is not what I want. The labels don't display the text completely, they do not display all of the fields, and only one image appears which is not the correct one.

Why such radical differences between the two projects? I know that there are some minor differences but this is too much and not useable. Where do I start to learn how to make the Android version work?

The problem is not the Label - on Android it appears that is needs a hint to correctly calculate the height of each row in the ListView. Try setting a HeightRequest value on your ViewCell. I'd also suggest starting with a simpler layout and gradually adding content to it, rather than add in all of your content at once and trying to debug it.

I don't know about UWP specifically, but I can say that the ListView has a default fixed Height of 40dpi for its cells. Try just set the HasUnevenRows property on your ListView's declaring to True. It'll make each cell render with the size needed for its content.
