How to position 3 buttons in StackLayout equal width

Question

Anyone know how to position 3 buttons in StackLayout with equal width? I have it working with Grid with

<Grid x:Name="MyGrid" Grid.Row="0" BindingContext="{x:Reference Name=Button1}"  HeightRequest="{Binding Width}">

I would like to find a way to show 3 buttons on same line with same width equally without a Grid For example all 3 buttons of equal length fitting across horizontally in StackLayout

[ Button 1 ] [ Button 222 ] [ Button 333333 ]

RelativeLayout:

<RelativeLayout HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
    <Button Text="Button 1" RelativeLayout.XConstraint="{ConstraintExpression 
            Type=RelativeToParent,Property=Width,Factor=.0000,Constant=0}"
            RelativeLayout.WidthConstraint="{ConstraintExpression Type=RelativeToParent,
            Property=Width,Factor=.3333,Constant=0}"/>
    <Button Text="Button 222" RelativeLayout.XConstraint="{ConstraintExpression
            Type=RelativeToParent,Property=Width,Factor=.3333,Constant=0}"
            RelativeLayout.WidthConstraint="{ConstraintExpression Type=RelativeToParent,
            Property=Width,Factor=.3333,Constant=0}"/>
    <Button Text="Button 333333" RelativeLayout.XConstraint="{ConstraintExpression
            Type=RelativeToParent,Property=Width,Factor=.6666,Constant=0}"
            RelativeLayout.WidthConstraint="{ConstraintExpression Type=RelativeToParent,
            Property=Width,Factor=.3333,Constant=0}"/>
</RelativeLayout>

StackLayout:

<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
    <Button x:Name="button1" Text="Button 1"/>
    <Button Text="Button 222" WidthRequest="{Binding Path=Width, Source={x:Reference button1}}"/>
    <Button Text="Button 333333" WidthRequest="{Binding Path=Width, Source={x:Reference button1}}"/>
</StackLayout>

Still using Grid, just specify width of columns in percent (col spacing set for fun):

    <Grid 
     ColumnDefinitions="33.33*, 33.33*, 33.33*"
     ColumnSpacing="8" 
     HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
        <Button Text="1" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
        <Button Text="2" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
        <Button Text="3" Grid.Column="2" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>          
     </Grid>

Updated: use one-line ColumnDefinitions property in Xamarin.Forms 4.8

Answer 3

<StackLayout VerticalOptions="EndAndExpand" Orientation="Horizontal" Spacing="2" Padding="2">
            <Button Text="Move Up" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" BackgroundColor="AntiqueWhite" TextColor="Black" />
            <Button Text="Move Down" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" BackgroundColor="AntiqueWhite" TextColor="Black" />
            <Button Text="Move Right" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" BackgroundColor="AntiqueWhite" TextColor="Black" />
            <Button Text="Move Left" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" BackgroundColor="AntiqueWhite" TextColor="Black" />
</StackLayout>

Seems like an old thread, but for anyone who might want to implement with StackLayout, this will accurately place the buttons with equal spacing in horizontal orientation.

Flexlayout provides an easy solution for this, by setting its Direction property as "Row" and JustifyContent property as "SpaceEvenly". Please find the code below:

<FlexLayout Direction="Row" AlignItems="Center" 
JustifyContent="SpaceEvenly" HeightRequest="50">
    <Button Text="Button 1" BackgroundColor="Red"/>
    <Button Text="Button 2" BackgroundColor="Green"/>
    <Button Text="Button 3" BackgroundColor="Aquamarine"/>
</FlexLayout>
