ToolbarItem is not showing

Question

Im currently reading trough this book.

Already at the beginning of the book I have a problem. I have Primary ToolbarItems and Secondary ToolbarItems. But none of them are shown. What am I doing wrong?

</ContentPage>

Answer 1

The ToolbarItems needs a Navigation Page to show them up. So modify MainPage wrapped by a navigation page:

MainPage = new NavigationPage(new MainPage());

Answer 2

Here you go.

<ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
    <ToolbarItem Text="edit" Order="Primary">
        <ToolbarItem.Icon>
            <OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="FileImageSource"
                        Android="icon.png"/>

        </ToolbarItem.Icon>
    </ToolbarItem>
    <ToolbarItem Text="search" Order="Primary">
        <ToolbarItem.Icon>
            <OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="FileImageSource"
                       Android="icon.png"/>
        </ToolbarItem.Icon>
    </ToolbarItem>

    <ToolbarItem Text="refresh" Order="Primary">
        <ToolbarItem.Icon>
            <OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="FileImageSource"
                        Android="icon.png"/>
        </ToolbarItem.Icon>
    </ToolbarItem>

    <ToolbarItem Text="explore" Order="Secondary"/>
    <ToolbarItem Text="discover" Order="Secondary"/>
    <ToolbarItem Text="evolve" Order="Secondary" />
</ContentPage.ToolbarItems>


<ContentPage.Content>
    <StackLayout Padding="10,0">
        <Label Text="Hello, Xamarin.Forms!"
           FontSize="Large"
           VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
           HorizontalOptions="Center"/>

        <Button Text="Click Me!"
            VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
            HorizontalOptions="Center"/>

        <Switch VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
            HorizontalOptions="Center"/>
    </StackLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
