Set MainPage in AppShell

Question

Hi,

How can I set different MainPage in AppShell like this:

public App()  
{  
    InitializeComponent();  
  
    if (condition_1)  
    {  
        MainPage = new AppShell();  
    }  
    else  
    {  
        MainPage = AnotherPage;  
    }  
}  

Thanks,
Jassim

Hello @Jassim Al Rahma ,

You could add a new MAUI ContentPage named AnotherPage firstly, then set different page, please refer to the following code:

 if (condition_1)  
        {  
            Application.Current.MainPage = new AppShell();  
        }  
        else  
        {  
            Application.Current.MainPage = new AnotherPage();// or new NavigationPage(new AnotherPage()) if you would like to use NavigationPage, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/user-interface/pages/navigationpage  
        }  

And I check another thread you create, the condition_1 is requesting the Android permissions which is an async method. So, you can add a default page, then judge permissions and set different page in the OnAppearing method.
App.xaml.cs

 public App() {  
     InitializeComponent();  
      
     MainPage = new DefaultPage();  
      
 }  

OnAppearing method in DefaultPage

protected override async void OnAppearing()  
    {  
        base.OnAppearing();  
  
        if (...){  
            Application.Current.MainPage = new AppShell();  
        }  
        else{  
            Application.Current.MainPage = new NavigationPage(new MauiAwaitSample.MainPage());  
        }  
    }
