How shoud we customize platform view?

Question

I wanted to replace native view of maui controls. How Should I do? For example on android I create a control that it is inherited from RecycleView. I want to replace my control with native view of CollectionView. I try to use platform view factory but it didn't work.

Hello,

before maui I did it with Renderer in xamarin forms .

If it works with renderer in Xamarin.Forms, you could try reuse custom renderers in .NET MAUI, take care to register renderers in the MauiProgram class. For example:

.ConfigureMauiHandlers((handlers) =>
            {
#if ANDROID
                handlers.AddHandler(typeof(CollectionView), typeof(your RecycleView ));           
#endif
            });

If you have any other issues, please feel free to post in here.

Best Regards,
