I'm relatively new to Xamarin Forms. I'm trying to have a view that allows me to swipe left/right between different pages with a page indicator at the bottom. I'm using CarouselView, as suggested by the internet, and it seems to work. But, the selected page is very buggy. Sometimes, swiping to the next page causes it to snap back to the previous page. Sometimes, it stays on the current page. Sometimes, it works correctly. I observe the same behavior on both Android and UWP. Although, it appears to be a little worse in UWP than Android.
It seems the index for the current page is getting mixed up somehow. Here is my XAML:
<ContentPage.Content>
<StackLayout>
<CarouselView x:Name="Pages" IndicatorView="{x:Reference ActivePageIndicator}">
<CarouselView.ItemsSource>
<x:Array Type="{x:Type ContentView}">
<views:TroubleshootingPage />
<views:StatusPage />
<views:ContactInfoPage />
</x:Array>
</CarouselView.ItemsSource>
<CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ContentView Content="{Binding .}" />
</DataTemplate>
</CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
</CarouselView>
<IndicatorView
x:Name="ActivePageIndicator"
IndicatorColor="LightGray"
SelectedIndicatorColor="Green"
IndicatorSize="16"
IndicatorsShape="Circle"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
Margin="4"
/>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
I've tried using different types of views in the ItemsSource list. But, I still get the same effect.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Something I'm missing? A bug in CarouselView?
Thanks.
