Can I use a DataTemplateSelector for the RadListView?

[Erik]

I have a RadListView with different types of items (grouped, actually) and I would like to format the items using a different datatemplate for each grouped type (e.g. products within Category "Food" will use template A and products within category "Dry Goods" will use a different template.

 With WPF apps and ListViews I would use for the "ItemTemplate" I would specify a DataTemplateSelector and then have some code that would point to specific resources / data templates based on my logic.

 My question is whether I can use DataTemplateSelectors for the RadListView in Xamarin.Forms -- if not, could you add a request to implement this feature?

 Thanks -

Erik

Hello, I currently need to use templates in radListView under a xamarin Forms project, is there any possibility to use them?

I noticed that I can declare and use differents itemtemplate inside my project, but when I change it my listview doesn't show the new layout. Why?
