.NET MAUI CollectionView Header and Footer

The .NET MAUI CollectionView provides the option to add HeaderTemplate and FooterTemplate, which allow you to position content of your choice above and below the list with the items. Both header and footer templates are scrolled along with the CollectionView items.

  • HeaderTemplate(DataTemplate)—Defines the header of the CollectionView, rendered before all other items.
  • FooterTemplate(DataTemplate)—Defines the footer of the CollectionView, rendered after all other items.

The following example shows how to add a header and a footer to the CollectionView control.

1. Add the RadCollectionView instance with the HeaderTemplate and FooterTemplate applied:

<telerik:RadCollectionView x:Name="collectionView"
                           ItemsSource="{Binding Locations}"
                           DisplayMemberPath="City"
                           SelectionMode="Single">
    <telerik:RadCollectionView.HeaderTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <telerik:RadBorder BorderColor="BlueViolet"
                               BorderThickness="0, 1"
                               BackgroundColor="#F3F3F3">
                <Grid ColumnDefinitions="Auto, *">
                    <Label Text="Selected city: "
                           TextColor="BlueViolet"
                           Margin="10" />
                    <Label Text="{Binding SelectedItem.City, Source={x:Reference collectionView}}"
                           TextColor="BlueViolet"
                           Grid.Column="1"
                           Margin="10"/>
                </Grid>
            </telerik:RadBorder>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadCollectionView.HeaderTemplate>
    <telerik:RadCollectionView.FooterTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <telerik:RadBorder BorderColor="PaleVioletRed"
                               BorderThickness="0, 1"
                               BackgroundColor="#F3F3F3">
                <Grid ColumnDefinitions="Auto, *">
                    <Label Text="Total cities: "
                           Margin="10"
                           TextColor="PaleVioletRed"/>
                    <Label Text="{Binding ItemsSource.Count, Source={x:Reference collectionView}}"
                           Grid.Column="1"
                           Margin="10"
                           TextColor="PaleVioletRed"/>
                </Grid>
            </telerik:RadBorder>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadCollectionView.FooterTemplate>
    <telerik:RadCollectionView.BindingContext>
        <local:ViewModel />
    </telerik:RadCollectionView.BindingContext>
</telerik:RadCollectionView>

2. Add a sample ViewModel class with a list of DataModel objects which is used as a BindingContext of the CollectionView:

public class ViewModel : NotifyPropertyChangedBase
{
    public ViewModel()
    {
        this.Locations = new ObservableCollection<DataModel>
        {
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Austria", City = "Graz", Id = 1 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Austria", City = "Innsbruck", Id = 2 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Austria", City = "Ratz", Id = 3 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Austria", City = "Vienna", Id = 4 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Belgium", City = "Antwerp", Id = 5 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Belgium", City = "Charleroi", Id = 6 },

            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Denmark", City = "Odense", Id = 9 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "France", City = "Nice", Id = 10 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "France", City = "Paris", Id = 11 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Germany", City = "Baden-Baden", Id = 12 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Germany", City = "Berlin", Id = 13 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Germany", City = "Hamburg", Id = 14 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Germany", City = "Munich", Id = 15 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Germany", City = "Nuremberg", Id = 16 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Italy", City = "Bari", Id = 17 },

            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Portugal", City = "Lisbon", Id = 22 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Portugal", City = "Porto", Id = 23 },

            new DataModel { Continent = "Asia", Country = "India", City = "Delhi", Id = 49 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Asia", Country = "India", City = "Hyderabad", Id = 50 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Asia", Country = "Japan", City = "Tokyo", Id = 51 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Asia", Country = "Japan", City = "Osaka", Id = 52 },

            new DataModel { Continent = "Asia", Country = "Vietnam", City = "Ho Chi Minh", Id = 54 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Asia", Country = "Vietnam", City = "Hanoi", Id = 55 },

            new DataModel { Continent = "Oceania", Country = "Australia", City = "Sydney", Id = 61 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Oceania", Country = "Australia", City = "Melbourne", Id = 62 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Oceania", Country = "Australia", City = "Canberra", Id = 63 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Oceania", Country = "New Zealand", City = "Auckland", Id = 64 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Oceania", Country = "New Zealand", City = "Wellington", Id = 65 },
        };
    }

    public ObservableCollection<DataModel> Locations { get; set; }
}

3. Add the DataModel class:

public class DataModel : NotifyPropertyChangedBase
{
    private string continent;
    private string country;
    private string city;
    private int id;

    public string Continent
    {
        get => this.continent;
        set => this.UpdateValue(ref this.continent, value);
    }

    public string Country
    {
        get => this.country;
        set => this.UpdateValue(ref this.country, value);
    }

    public string City
    {
        get => this.city;
        set => this.UpdateValue(ref this.city, value);
    }

    public int Id
    {
        get => this.id;
        set => this.UpdateValue(ref this.id, value);
    }
}
