Xamarin Forms: StackLayout with rounded corners

Question

I am developing an app using Xamarin Forms PCL. I need a StackLayout with rounded corners. I have tried frame as well for rounded corner container but there is no corner rad

Answer 1

Since Xamarin has released Effects mechanism, it now can be done by implementing a custom effect on both platforms. An advantage of this approach is that effects are more light-weight, reusable and can be parameterized and applied to any UI element.

After you create a custom RoundCornersEffect inheriting RoutingEffect, declare a CornerRadius attached property and implement PlatformEffect on each platform, it can be applied to any Xamarin.Forms layout or control like this:

with hardcoded corners radius or a value from resources

Here is a link to full implementation and usage examples.
