How to raise ItemSelected event of listview programatically?

Question

I am relatively new to Xamarin Forms! I wanted to know if there is any way we can raise listview itemselected event through code and not through user selection?

I get a value from messaging center through receiver and want to validate it with existing data in listview. If the selected item matches it should be assigned to a variable for use and also check the check box in the listview.

Answer 1

ItemSelected is triggered when the user selects an item. To do this programmatically find the item and then set the list view's SelectedItem property to it. That should trigger the event.
