Dismiss keyboard when scrolling sfListView

Question

What the best way (preferably cross-platform) to dismiss keyboard when user starts scrolling sfListView in Xamarin project for IOS and Android? If no cross-platform solution exists - would be glad to hear solutions for both IOS and Android separately. Thank you in advance

When looking into documention of sfListView, you can find the Identifying scroll state changes part, so you can dismiss keyboard in this event:

listView.ScrollStateChanged += ListView_ScrollStateChanged;

private void ListView_ScrollStateChanged(object sender, ScrollStateChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ScrollState != ScrollState.Idle)
    {
        //dismiss keyboard
        DependencyService.Get<IKeyboardHelper>().HideKeyboard();
    }
}

To dismiss the keyboard, you have to use DependencyService:

You can use the code in this thread.

Note: Remember to add this line before the start of the namespace in each of your KeyboardHelper classes or the DependencyService will not find them.

[assembly: Xamarin.Forms.Dependency(typeof(xxxxxxKeyboardHelper))]
