Passing data between view in xamarin forms using mvvm

Question

I\'m trying to navigate between pages and bind data at same time.

This is what I have tried :

public ICommand GetIdeasCommand
{
    get
    {
              


        

Answer 1

Your understanding of BindingContext is lacking. Usually you bind a ViewModel to a BindingContext. What you're doing here

this.BindingContext = new IdeasSinglePage(ideas); //the app breaks here

doesn't make sense.

You are passing as context the page you want to load ? Just delete this line completely. Since in your recent comments you said you didn't want a ViewModel to begin with, what you will do in your CodeBehind is:

public partial class IdeasSinglePage : ContentPage
{
  public IdeasSinglePage(List ideas)
  {
    InitializeComponent();
    listViewName.ItemsSource = ideas;
  }
}

And in your xml you give your listView a Name. You need this Name for referencing the list on code behind.

Hope it helps
