A control for picking an element in a list.

The visual representation of a Picker is similar to a , but a picker control appears in place of a keyboard. The following example shows the creation of a Picker.

 nameToColor = new Dictionary
        {
            { "Aqua", Color.Aqua }, { "Black", Color.Black },
            { "Blue", Color.Blue }, { "Fuschia", Color.Fuschia },
            { "Gray", Color.Gray }, { "Green", Color.Green },
            { "Lime", Color.Lime }, { "Maroon", Color.Maroon },
            { "Navy", Color.Navy }, { "Olive", Color.Olive },
            { "Purple", Color.Purple }, { "Red", Color.Red },
            { "Silver", Color.Silver }, { "Teal", Color.Teal },
            { "White", Color.White }, { "Yellow", Color.Yellow }
        };

            Picker picker = new Picker

                Title = "Color",

            {
                picker.Items.Add(colorName);
            }

            // Create BoxView for displaying picked Color
            BoxView boxView = new BoxView
            {
                WidthRequest = 150,

                HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center,
                VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.CenterAndExpand
            };

            picker.SelectedIndexChanged += (sender, args) =>
                {
                    if (picker.SelectedIndex == -1)
                    {
                        boxView.Color = Color.Default;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        string colorName = picker.Items[picker.SelectedIndex];
                        boxView.Color = nameToColor[colorName];
                    }

            // Accomodate iPhone status bar.
