Xamarin.Forms - How to overlay an ActivityIndicator in the middle of a StackLayout programmatically

Question

I want to overlay my ActivityIndicator in the middle of my form but I\'m not entirely sure how I can go about this, I assume I need to wrap my stack layout in a relative lay

Answer 1

You can also use activity indicator inside the absolute layout. and bind the isVisible property of absolute layout to isBusy. Below is my approach

The binding in the cs file looks like

indicator.BindingContext = this;
indicator.SetBinding(IsVisibleProperty, "IsBusy", BindingMode.OneWay);
indicator.SetBinding(ActivityIndicator.IsRunningProperty, "IsBusy", BindingMode.OneWay);
indicatorFrame.BindingContext = this;
indicatorFrame.SetBinding(IsVisibleProperty, "IsBusy", BindingMode.OneWay);
