Navigating in a Prism application is conceptually different than standard navigation in Xamarin.Forms. While Xamarin.Forms navigation relies on a Page class instance to navigate, Prism removes all dependencies on Page types to achieve loosely coupled navigation from within a ViewModel. In Prism, the concept of navigating to a View or navigating to a ViewModel does not exist. Instead, you simply navigate to an experience, or a unique identifier, which represents the target view you wish to navigate to in your application.
Page navigation in Prism is accomplished by using the INavigationService.
There are three steps to navigation in a Prism application.
- Register your view for navigation
- Get an instance of the INavigationService
- Call your navigation method and provide the target name
