Hello,

You can use it directly,

For example, if I create a xml file in the Resources\drawable\, I can use it in the handler directly, you can use layout or other xml resources as well.

 Microsoft.Maui.Handlers.FlyoutViewHandler.Mapper.AppendToMapping("MyCustomization", (handler, view) =>
        {
#if ANDROID
            handler.PlatformView.SetBackgroundResource(Resource.Drawable.expand_collapse);
#endif
        });

Best Regards,
