How to find toolbar by using resources Id for tabbedpage in Xamarin.Forms

Question

My page is a TabbedPage on this page. Uses a badge inside the TabbedPage.toolbar item.
I was referred to the https://github.com/CrossGeeks/ToolbarItemBadgeSample link.

<TabbedPage.ToolbarItems>
<ToolbarItem Name="MenuItem1" Order="Primary" IconImageSource="cart.xml" Text="Item 1" Priority="0" />
</TabbedPage.ToolbarItems>

var toolbar = CrossCurrentActivity.Current.Activity.FindViewById(Resource.Id.toolbar) as Android.Support.V7.Widget.Toolbar;

toolbar always get null .

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

To get the Toolbar, the application should use the navigation bar (toolbar) which means the MainPage should be a NavigationPage like below.

   public partial class App : Application  
   {  
       public App()  
       {  
           InitializeComponent();  
     
           MainPage = new NavigationPage(new MainPage());  
       }  
   }  

But you used a TabbedPage as the application template, so the toolbar will be null. What do you want to do with the toolbar?
