Reorderable CollectionView of Entry using Drag & Drop

Question

I have a CollectionView with an ItemTemplate containing Entry controls. I want to be able to reorder the items using Drag & Drop. I have tried adding DragGestureRecognizer & DropGestureRecognizer as described at the following:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/gestures/drag-and-drop

But I could not seem to get this to work. There is supposedly a request for this feature at the following:

https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/4676

But I have no idea how long that will be. What is the best way to allow a user to reorder a CollectionView of Entry controls? Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

Yes, we don't have such out-of-the-box controls available to do this right now.

But you can try Item Reordering in Xamarin ListView (SfListView). It supports displaying the customized view in a template while dragging the item. It can be enabled by setting the SfListView.DragStartMode property to OnHold.

And from this network www.syncfusion.com , we know that :

Syncfusion provides licenses and technical support at no charge to eligible small businesses and individual developers. (Companies and individuals with less than $1 million USD in annual gross revenue and 5 or fewer developers).
