Adding a button to the title bar Xamarin Forms

Question

Haven't been able to find quite the right answer for this yet. I want to add a button into the navigation / title bar at the top of a Xamarin Forms Navigation Page. Note that I need to know a method that will work on android, I'm not interested in trying to find an iOS only solution here. This button needs to be an image button as I want a way to access a hamburger menu.

Answer 1

Use ToolbarItem from YourPage.xaml.cs:

ToolbarItems.Add(new ToolbarItem("Search", "search.png",() => {   //logic code goes here })); 

In Xaml:

<ContentPage.ToolbarItems>      <ToolbarItem Icon="search.png" Text="Search" Clicked="Search_Clicked"/> </ContentPage.ToolbarItems> 

Update

Xamarin.Forms introduced TitleView in 3.2.0 that you can customize title of the navigation.

<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"              xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"              x:Class="TestPage">     <NavigationPage.TitleView>         <Button ... />     </NavigationPage.TitleView>     ... </ContentPage>
