How to create Image Button in Xamarin.Forms?

Question

Please let us know how to create Image Button in Xamarin.Forms, we aren't using the story board.

Environment : Xamarin Studio on Mac

Answer 1

A lot of ways, like this one:

var button = new Image { ... }; // make your image your button should be
button.GestureRecognizers.Add (new TapGestureRecognizer (sender => {
  // Do whatever you want to do when its tapped
  button.Opacity = 0.6;
  button.FadeTo (1);
}));

Or you can even use Xamarin forms labs:

Or like @Gerald Versluis say:

With image property of the button.

Image="logo.jpg"

Answer 2

Actually

Xamarin.Forms.TapGestureRecognizer.TapGestureRecognizer(System.Action)

is obsolete: 'Obsolete in 1.0.2. Use Command instead

Try like this one:

  var CallButton = new Image { Source = "call.png" };
      CallButton.GestureRecognizers.Add(new TapGestureRecognizer
             {
              Command=new Command(()=> {
                // Do whatever you want to do when its tapped
                  })
              });
