.Net Maui, how to run method after page is shown?

Question

Hi, I am trying to find a way to run a method after a contentpage is showing on the screen.

OnAppearing() does not work as it fires before the page is actually loaded. Is there any way to do this without using a timer?

It seems strange there is no built in method for this, unless I am missing something.

I show the page with Navigation.PushAsync

Hello,

Hi, I am trying to find a way to run a method after a contentpage is showing on the screen.

Lifecycle functions that are triggered after a page is fully loaded are not yet included in MAUI.

In fact, there is a Loaded event in MAUI that fires the moment your control is creating.

Occurs when a VisualElement has been constructed and added to the object tree. This event may occur before the VisualElement has been measured so should not be relied on for size information.

You could use this event as the following code:

YouControl.Loaded += (s, e) => {        };

Please refer to VisualElement.Loaded Event to get more details.
