Hello,
i know that it's a demo, so every day there's a new update and you can't keep updating a demo, but trust me this demo is the best fit demo for me, so please can you fix these 2 issues.

  • i tried to run the application on Xamarin Player (Android 6.0), after login page, the main page doesn't show the menu, and when i press on it's place the application closed by the os.
  • for the UWP when i tried to run the application, the functionality are working just fine, but the menu items are not shown, and the application has no style like the Android version.
    Best Regards.

Hi, This sample is really awesome but I'm not sure how to set the BindingContext of the MenuPage in the MainStack class. Could you give me a hint?

commented

@zoemy - You can just set it by creating a new ViewModel and doing BindingContext = new MyViewModel()

I tried to do that but I get this exception:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation

This are the two ways I used. In both cases I get that exception.

  BindingContext = _pageService.GetBindingContext(typeof(MenuPage))
  BindingContext = new MenuViewModel(menuModel, defaultMessenger,navigationService, dialogService)

@zoemy - I just tested in UWP with a new MenuViewModel and it worked as expected.

I updated the repo, also to include the latest XF. Give that a try and let me know how you go.

Also this project is rather old, you may want to give Exrin a try. I built an entire framework which is maintained and supported. Have a look at https://github.com/exrin/Exrin. There are 2 sample projects, Exrin Sample (very quick and simple) and Tesla App (more complex with MasterDetailPages and TabbedPages)
