Rendering of List View Header and Footer

Reproduction: Set a View Element as header for a list view:

let view (model: Model) _ =
    View.ContentPage(
      content =
        View.ListView(
            model.Items |> List.map (fun item -> View.Label(text = item)),
            header = View.Label(text = "I am a header.")
        )
    )

This results in:

So it seems there’s a ToString() involved somewhere … Sample: FabulousListViewHeaderBug.zip

I did see several mentions of this issue on Slack. We are indeed doing nothing to the value passed to Header/Footer and thus Xamarin.Forms is clueless about ViewElement and calls its ToString() method

I added a converter which will first call ViewElement.Create() before setting the properties Header/Footer

Makes sense! I’m closing this issue as the “fix” is coming and the workaround is available anyway.
