Xamarin.Forms, Xamarin.Droid change view

So far, I've been unsuccessful at finding anything on this that has worked. I'm trying to change the current view from a class in the .droid namespace to another in the same namespace.

Intent intent = new Intent(this, typeof(viewclass));

Is what seems to be half correct. The biggest problem is this as I cannot do that from the droid, I get the following error:

Cannot convert from App.Droid.CustomMapRenderer to Android.Context.Context

Solution:

var intent= new Intent(Android.App.Application.Context, typeof(ViewClass));
Android.App.Application.Context.StartActivity(intent);

The biggest problem is this as I cannot do that from the droid, I get the following error:

From the error message. You are creating an Intent inside a renderer(CustomMapRenderer). Thus this refers to an instance of CustomMapRenderer, but to create an intent the first argument should be a Context.

So to fix the problem, you need to retrieve the current context in certain way, For example, you can try Intent intent = new Intent(Application.Context, typeof(viewclass));
