Overview
The Xamarin Tabbed View is a simple and intuitive interface for tab navigation in mobile application, where users can explore and switch between different tabs.
Adding multiple tabs
The Xamarin.Forms tabbed view will display a list of tabs that will hold the required views. Populate tabs either by adding each tab item or binding it to a data source. It can hold any number of tab items. Users can define the visible tabs count and access the remaining tabs by using the drop-down menu or simply scrolling to make them visible.

Swipe navigation
Swipe the content to easily navigate among the tabs with smooth transition.

Selection
Only the selected tab view can occupy the entire content area. Users can explore and switch between different views by simply tapping on the header or swiping.

Top and Bottom Tab Navigation
The tabbed view header panel can be placed either at the top or bottom.

Icon text relation
There may be scenarios where icons, text, or text with icons are optimal. The Xamarin.Forms Tabbed View comes with all these options.
Auto TabWidth
The Tabbed View headers can be rendered based on the text size.

Header customization
Customize the header color, text color, icon size, and selection color to fit your application’s theme.

Custom tab header
Add custom view in the tab header to display additional views like badge, close button etc.,

Icon font
Use the built-in icon font support of tabbed view to get rid of icon scalability issues and reduce app footage by avoiding solid images.
