In xamarin, I would like a Label Text with a max length. When the text is too long, it is on several lines. So, I would like set a maximum length or number of lines. I think to measure the string length but I no found method.
I hope there is a solution to Xamarin. I don't want to do specific code for each platform if it's possible.
Thank you
MaxLines property is your answer. It's bindable too.
And if you want two show three dots after certain lines for overflowing text , use LineBreakMode="TailTruncation"
Example:
<Label Text="{Binding LargeText}" MaxLines="2" LineBreakMode="TailTruncation"/>
In Xamarin.Forms 3.4 you can use Label's "MaxLines" property to set maximum lines. Also, it's a bindable property
