Is it possible to put a stacklayout in a button?

      <StackLayout HorizontalOptions="Start" Orientation="Horizontal">
             <Label Text="s" FontFamily="icon-font" FontSize="16" FontAttributes="Bold" TextColor="{StaticResource orangeColor}"></Label>
             <Label Text="Test" FontSize="16" FontAttributes="Bold" />
      </StackLayout>

I have a icon font file. I want to render the icon and the normal text inside of the button content. Is it possible to do in Xamarin Forms?

No, but you can make your StackLayout look and act like a button. - Jason

You can add a TapGestureRecognizer to your labels so you can "click" them like a Button

var tapGestureRecognizer = new TapGestureRecognizer();
tapGestureRecognizer.Tapped += (s, e) => {
   // handle the tap
};
myLabel.GestureRecognizers.Add(tapGestureRecognizer);
