Description

Description

  • The width is not really correct on Android.
    • The placeholder appears to influence the width (the bottom placeholders are very long so cause the view go go off screen):

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run the Visual Gallery in the Control Gallery and scroll down to the Entries. The Entries that are next to each other should all have equal width

Expected Behavior

The Entries that are next to each other should all have equal width

Actual Behavior

Entries that started out with text/placeholder text force themselves to be a greater width on Android

Basic Information

  • Version with issue: 3.6

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Entry and Editor measure their width on Android, especially when prefilled with text or placeholder. Check the layout code in Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.
