Building a Photo Gallery App Using CollectionView and CarouselView

In this chapter, we will build an app that shows photos from the camera roll (photo gallery) of a user's device. The user will also be able to select photos as favorites. We will then look at the different ways to display photos—in carousels and in a multi-column grid control. If we learn how to use these controls, we can then use them in a lot of other cases when we build real-world apps.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • How to import photos from the iOS photo gallery
  • How to import photos from the Android photo gallery
  • How to use CarouselView in Xamarin.Forms
  • How to use CollectionView in Xamarin.Forms
