I\'m trying to add a custom content to a button in Xamarin Forms.

By default Button is created like this:

Thanks Tomasz, good inspiration. However for me, your control didn´t pick up the tap-event on all platforms and used obsolete Xamarin.Forms methods "BindableProperty.Create<" and . So I came up with this one.

Here it is:

public class ContentButton:ContentView
{
    private readonly TapGestureRecognizer _tapGestureRecognizer;

    public ContentButton()
    {
        _tapGestureRecognizer = new TapGestureRecognizer();
        GestureRecognizers.Add(_tapGestureRecognizer);          
    }

    protected override void OnChildAdded(Element child)
    {
        base.OnChildAdded(child);
        if (child is View childview)
        {
            childview.GestureRecognizers.Add(_tapGestureRecognizer);
        }
    }

    public static readonly BindableProperty CommandProperty = BindableProperty.Create(nameof(Command), typeof(ICommand),
        typeof(ContentButton), null, BindingMode.Default, null, CommandPropertyChanged);

    private static void CommandPropertyChanged(BindableObject bindable, object oldValue, object newValue)
    {
        if (newValue is ICommand command && bindable is ContentButton contentButton)
        {
            contentButton._tapGestureRecognizer.Command = command;              
        }
    }

    public ICommand Command
    {
        get => (ICommand)GetValue(CommandProperty);
        set => SetValue(CommandProperty, value);
    }
}
