Xamarin.Forms Navigation.PushAsync Not Working

Question

I have a Xamarin.Forms project, and I have a custom control that should open a new page when tapped. Unfortunately, nothing happens when I call Navigation.PushAsync(...);. I've read countless StackOverflow questions (such as this one) and Xamarin Forums threads and done several Google searches, but none of the solutions seem to solve my issue.

• My control inherits from ContentView, as all Xamarin.Forms views do.
• src is a custom class that contains some data points that are used by this control and EventDetailsPage.
• I can confirm that the gesture does work itself, but the call to PushAsync() does nothing.
• I have tried manipulating the statement in ways so that a NavigationPage is used (such that it becomes myNavigationPage.Navigation.PushAsync(new EventDetailsPage(src));).
• I have also tried creating a constructor that takes a Page and uses it in away similar to the above point.

My control's constructor:

public EventControl() {
    InitializeComponent();
    GestureRecognizers.Add(new TapGestureRecognizer() {
        Command = new Command(() => Navigation.PushAsync(new EventDetailsPage(src)))
    });
}

Typically, asking a new question on StackOverflow is my last resort when nothing else that I've tried solved my problem. Any help is appreciated.

Change your App.cs like this

  public App()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        MainPage = new NavigationPage(new MainPage());//Very important add this..
        //MainPage = new MainPage(); //not like this        
    }
