Xamarin Shell page appearing or navigated to event ?

Question

I may be missing it but when I navigate back to a page from say a detail edit page using Xamarin Shell how do I know I need to refresh the data ? Is there an event somewhere that I can override to use as a "refresh" when the page is being navigated to ? Thanks for any and all help or suggestions !

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

You could refresh the data in OnAppearing method or Shell.Current.Navigated event .

OnAppearing

   protected override void OnAppearing()  
     {  
         base.OnAppearing();  
     
         //refresh the data  
     }  

Shell.Current.Navigated

   public YourPage()  
     {  
         InitializeComponent();  
     
         Shell.Current.Navigated += (sender,e) => {   
             if(e.Source == ShellNavigationSource.Pop)  
             {  
                   //refresh the data  
             }  
         };  
     }
