Center Icon and Text in a button Xamarin XAML

Question

I don't how to center the icon inside the button and get it above the text, I didn't find information also about it, I'm asked to do a kind of "tabb" option menu, but below the screen, and I found that it was kind of "hard" because of the "design implications"etc, so I decided that with buttons would be easier, but the problem now is how to center the image and get the text right, If some one could help me, that would be great. This is my code so far:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
         xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
         BackgroundColor="Silver"
         x:Class="XamForm.View.MainPage">
<Label Text="{Binding MainText}" VerticalOptions="Center"  HorizontalOptions="Center" />


 <StackLayout Padding="30">
<Label x:Name="lblCuantos" Text="No #" TextColor="Gray" FontSize="20"/>
<Label x:Name="lblNombre" Text="" FontSize="20"/>
<Button  x:Name="btn1" Text="Oprimir" Clicked="Accion"/>
<Button  x:Name="btn2"  BackgroundColor="White" Image="iconRes.png"  HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" Text="Gridd" TextColor="Gray" Clicked="Accion2"/>
<Button  x:Name="btn3"  BackgroundColor="White" Image="iconRes.png"  HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand"  TextColor="Gray" Clicked="Accion2"/>


</StackLayout>
</ContentPage>

This is the actual result of the button itself:

This is what the final result of the menu should look like kind off

Answer 1

You can use ContentLayout="Top,0" in button. For Example in your case use below code

<Button  x:Name="btn2" ContentLayout="Top,0" BackgroundColor="White" Image="iconRes.png"  HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand" Text="Gridd" TextColor="Gray" Clicked="Accion2" />
<Button  x:Name="btn3" ContentLayout="Top,0" BackgroundColor="White" Image="iconRes.png"  HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand"  TextColor="Gray" Clicked="Accion2"/>

Answer 2

You could use a StackLayout with Orientation set to Vertical, and in it add Button and Label.
