I have the following method in an Xamarin.Forms.ContentPage
wired to a button click event
public class LoginPage : ContentPage
{
private Button _loginButton = null;
private Entry _PasswordInput = null;
private Entry _UsernameInput = null;
public LoginPage()
{
_UsernameInput = new Entry { Placeholder = "Username" };
_PasswordInput = new Entry { Placeholder = "Password", IsPassword = true };
_loginButton = new Button
{
Text = "Login",
BorderRadius = 5
}
_loginButton.Clicked += LogIn;
Content = new StackLayout
{
VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center,
Children =
{
_UsernameInput, _PasswordInput, _loginButton,
},
Spacing = 15
};
}
public async void LogIn(object sender, EventArgs eventsArgs)
{
//do authenticate stuff here
SSO.MyAuthentication client = new SSO.MyAuthentication();
bool isAuthenticated = client.Authenticate(_UsernameInput.Text, _PasswordInput.Text);
if(isAuthenticated)
{
//Push home page to top of navigation stack
Navigation.PushAsync(new HomePage());
}
}
}
On the following line of code Navigation.PushAsync(new HomePage());
, I am getting the following exception while debugging:
PushAsync is not supported globally on Android, please use a NavigationPage
How do I resolve this issue using a Xamarin.Forms.NavigationPage
object?
You are calling "PushAsync":
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void btnCourseList_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Navigation.PushAsync(new PageB());
}
}
but you did not start the NavigationPage, which normally is done in the App.cs class, or at least it should be started before any call to "PushAsync":
MainPage = new NavigationPage(new PageA());
