How can I create a line that is less than 1 unit in Xamarin Forms?












0















I'm looking at the Google translate application on my phone (top image) and there's a line between each row of the settings that is very thin.



When I try to duplicate this line in Xamarin (bottom image 1 unit line)



<BoxView HeightRequest="1" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" 
BackgroundColor="{DynamicResource LineColor}" Margin="0" />


I cannot get this thickness. I thought the minimum line width was 1 so how can Google manage to make a line that appears thinner and can I somehow do this in Xamarin?

    Can't you simply set it to "0.1" or something?

BoxView.HeightRequest is double, you can freely set it to be less than 1.

For example:
HeightRequest="0.1"

    Try setting 0.2 for HeightRequest. HeightRequest type is double and Boxview will work with 0.2 as the minimum value for it.
    Code similar to



    <BoxView BackgroundColor="Gray" HeightRequest="0.2"/>
