Building a Xamarin Forms UI - Layout Containers is a practical deep dive into the basics of using Xamarin Forms to design and lay out a mobile app's user interface. Xamarin Forms offers several built-in layout frameworks for positioning UI elements on a screen. We look at four of the most common ones to see how they work and the pros and cons of using each. We start with StackLayout, then move on to AbsoluteLayout, Grid layout, and finish with RelativeLayout.
