How to programmatically click the picker button

I want to create a button and when the button is clicked, it will pop up as if the picker was clicked.

I tried using focus() but it doesn't work.

Hello,

Which platform is not working when running code?
Could you minimize the code to just what is needed to reproduce the problem?
I use the following code to make a test on the Android platform. If I click the button, the picker will be invoked and pop up.
My Xamarin.Forms version is 5.0.0.2196

   <Picker x:Name="picker"  
          >  
               <Picker.ItemsSource>  
                   <x:Array Type="{x:Type x:String}">  
                       <x:String>Baboon</x:String>  
                       <x:String>Capuchin Monkey</x:String>  
                         
                   </x:Array>  
               </Picker.ItemsSource>  
           </Picker>  
     
          <Button Text="click" Clicked="Button_Clicked"></Button>  
     
   private void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)  
           {  
               picker. Focus();  
           }  

Best Regards,
