Xamarin.Forms Entry just with bottom border.

LineEntry.cs

using Xamarin.Forms;

namespace YOUTNAMESPACE
{
	public class LineEntry : Entry
	{
		public static readonly BindableProperty BorderColorProperty = 
			BindableProperty.Create<LineEntry, Color> (p => p.BorderColor, Color.Black);

		public Color BorderColor {
			get { return (Color)GetValue (BorderColorProperty); }
			set { SetValue (BorderColorProperty, value); }
		}

		public static readonly BindableProperty FontSizeProperty = 
			BindableProperty.Create<LineEntry, double> (p => p.FontSize, Font.Default.FontSize);

		public double FontSize {
			get { return (double)GetValue (FontSizeProperty); }
			set { SetValue (FontSizeProperty, value); }
		}

		public static readonly BindableProperty PlaceholderColorProperty =
			BindableProperty.Create<LineEntry, Color> (p => p.PlaceholderColor, Color.Default);

		public Color PlaceholderColor {
			get { return (Color)GetValue (PlaceholderColorProperty); }
			set { SetValue (PlaceholderColorProperty, value); }
		}


	}
}

@vhugogarcia For IOS maybe this will help you

void DrawBorder(ExtendedEntry view)
{
view.Placeholder = "Test Place Holder";
view.PlaceholderColor = Color.Black;
var borderLayer = new CALayer();
borderLayer.MasksToBounds = true;
borderLayer.Frame = new CoreGraphics.CGRect(0f, Frame.Height / 2, Frame.Width, 1f);
borderLayer.BorderColor = UIColor.Black.CGColor;
borderLayer.BorderWidth = 1.0f;
borderLayer.CornerRadius = 1;
Control.Layer.AddSublayer(borderLayer);
Control.BorderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.None;
}

What worked for me was to create an Xml file called entry_underline.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
  <item android:bottom="1dp"
      android:left="-20dp"
      android:right="-20dp"
      android:top="-20dp">
    <shape android:shape="rectangle" >
      <stroke android:width="1dp"/>
    </shape>
  </item>
</layer-list>

Then I used this code to import the xml as a background for my Entry

Control.Background = Resources.GetDrawable("entry_underline");

Still figuring out how to color this thing. If anyone has any ideas , they're welcome

if you would change FontFamily

Thank's you David

That looks cool, but what if I use Style property for the control font family/size/color etc.? (Including implicit style definition)? In that case, it doesn't work at all. In addition, the input width also differs from default controls as it lacks the padding sizes.
