Xamarin forms: How to open a ContentPage from a ContentView?

Sreejith Sree 1,251

I have a Xamarin.forms.Maps in a ContentView and I am using that view in a listview. I need to open a new page when clicking the map.

I tried like below:

MapClicked="MapClicked"  

private async void MapClicked(object sender, MapClickedEventArgs e)  
{  
	var item = (History)((Map)sender).BindingContext;  
	await Navigation.PushModalAsync(new Pages.Page1());  
}

When I tap the map these lines are triggering, but Page1 is not opening. So what is the exact way to open a ContentPage from a ContentView?

You have not defined a NavigationPage. How do you open your Map Page?

You must have something like

Application.MainPage = new NavigationPage(new MyMapPage());

I have defined NavigationPage in App.xaml.cs. When I click the map, the code execution is triggering on page1 constructor. But the UI is not changing.

I am using Navigation.PushModalAsync on all pages. I think that is the issue. Should I change all to Navigation.PushAsync? When I use the NavigationPage, By default, a title bar is showing on the top. I don't need that, is there a way to disable it?

you can try

<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"  
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"  
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:NavigationDemo"  
             x:Class="NavigationDemo.MainPage"  
             NavigationPage.HasNavigationBar="false">

Everything is working fine except confirm exit prompt. I have added the below code on my home page to show the confirm exit alert when clicking the back button when the user is on the home page. This feature is not working. Any comment?

protected override bool OnBackButtonPressed()
{
    bool value = true;
    var i = this.Children.IndexOf(this.CurrentPage);
    if (i == 0)
    {
        if (AcceptBack)
            return false;
        PromptForExit();
        value = true;
    }
    else
    {
        CurrentPage = Children[0];
        value = true;
    }
    return value;
}

private async void PromptForExit()
{
    if (await DisplayAlert("Confirm to Quit?", "Are you sure you want to quit?", "Yes", "No"))
    {
        AcceptBack = true;
        EmulateBackPressed();
    }
}
