StackLayout on pressed event

In my Xamarin.Forms app, I have a view in my StackLayout. I want to make an effect so that when the user presses on the StackLayout the background changes color, and then reverts the color back when the user releases his/her finger, for a "flash" effect.

I was advised that since views don't have an "on pressed" event, I would have to use a custom renderer. But I don't know how to make a custom renderer for a StackLayout?

You don't really need a CustomRenderer to have a "on pressed" event on your StackLayout, you can use TapGestureRecognizer instead.

<StackLayout>
...
    <StackLayout.GestureRecognizers>
        <TapGestureRecognizer
                Tapped="OnTapGestureRecognizerTapped" />
  </StackLayout.GestureRecognizers>
</StackLayout>

You can read more about GestureRecognizers in the official documentation.

P.S.: If you really need to react to "finger release" than you might need an Effect or a CustomRenderer.
