How can I navigate a page in Xamarin?

I have this code in Xaml :

<Button Text="Click Me" Clicked="OnButtonClicked" />

And this code in code-behind :

void OnButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs args)
{

}

How can I navigate a page in this method ?

First, make sure that your app is based on a NavigationPage to enable navigation in Xamarin.Forms. For this, set the MainPage property of your App.cs to a NaviationPage instance.

public App()
{           
    MainPage = new NavigationPage(new YourStartPage());
}

Now add a second Forms Xaml Page or Forms ContentPage to your project, that you can navigate to from your start page. Make sure, your OnButtonClicked handler is declared as async (like in the sample below) and navigate like this:

async void OnButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    await Navigation.PushAsync(new Page2());
}
