How do you use Picker and BindablePicker for selections?

Beginner

Answer

Bind Picker.ItemsSource to a collection and SelectedItem (or SelectedIndex) to a view-model property; set ItemDisplayBinding to show a property of complex items. Picker presents a native selection UI on each platform.
<Picker Title="Country"
        ItemsSource="{Binding Countries}"
        ItemDisplayBinding="{Binding Name}"
        SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedCountry}" />
Real-world example A checkout form's country dropdown binds to a list of country objects and displays their names.
