Should I Use Shell?

Question

Should I Use Shell?

Aston13 41

Hi, I'm new to Xamarin and I am planning to try to make my first app with this flow:

The Shell seems nice but the docs state that it's used with Flyout or Tabs. I don't want to use Flyout or Tabs right now as my navigation flow will be page-to-page by clicking on an item in a list or going back. Is it still possible/good practice to use the Shell in this scenario?

*Maybe at the most I can put a version number, and logout button in a Flyout.

I find that the Shell template is slower than non-shell. you can create template and try .

the Shell change tabs will slower than nonshell.

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

the Shell change tabs will slower than nonshell.

Switching between tabs will lead to something reload/recreate, e.g webview ,refer to https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/9073 , this is the reason why it is slower.

I don't want to use Flyout or Tabs right now as my navigation flow will be page-to-page by clicking on an item in a list or going back

If the navigation pattern is pretty simply in your application , I suggest you use non-shell project , it is more flexible .

Thanks.

I switched to normal navigation and I am glad I choose to do that. So far it has been much easier to manage and non-shell seems to work better with light/dark themes than Shell.

The trade off is that I need to have a few programmatic navigation spread across view models, rather in a single place, but that's okay with me.
