                                </ViewCell>  
                            </DataTemplate>  
                        </ListView.ItemTemplate>  
                    </ListView>  

If a label is placed on a list item, the list item will be clicked even if the label area within the list item area is clicked.

What I want is to put an entry and click in the entry area to make it look like the item list is clicked.

Hello,

This is due to the fact that the Entry control does not support touch or tap events.

If your Entry is not read-only, you could use the following code to change the color of list item:

   private void Entry_Focused(object sender, FocusEventArgs e)  
   {  
       var entry = sender as Entry;  
       var p = entry.Parent as Grid;  
       p.BackgroundColor = Color.Gray;  
   }  

Best Regards,

Alec Liu.
