Xamarin FOrms routing with passing parameters in Shell

In my codeBehind of my Page1 I have:

        {
            //do not select item
            ((ListView)sender).SelectedItem = null;

            //go to stockDetailsPage
            await Shell.Current.GoToAsync("postlogin/stockdetails?tickerSymbol=AAPL.NASDAQ");
        }

As you can see I hardcoded the value in order to test it.

Earlier it was without param, and it work, now I need to pass param tickerSymbol. And in my stockDetailsPage in my ViewModel I added

[QueryProperty("TickerSymbol", "tickerSymbol")] above my class

and in my class I declared properties:

        public string TickerSymbol
        {
            set { SetProperty(ref tickerSymbol, Uri.UnescapeDataString(value)); }
            get { return tickerSymbol; }
        }

So in my constructor of that vm, I now want to call method with input argument of that param, but Im getting null all the time.

Can you suggest me where Im wrong?

As Xamarin doc said it should be able to pass param to the class for the page's BindingContext, I tried the following and it works:

in code behind, set BindingContext to your ViewModel:

TestParamViewModel testParamViewModel;
public TestPage()
{
   InitializeComponent();
   testParamViewModel = new TestParamViewModel();
   this.BindingContext = testParamViewModel;
}

Add QueryPropertyAttribute to your ViewModel:

[QueryProperty("Name", "name")]
class TestParamViewModel
{
    string name;
    public string Name
    {
        set
        {
            name = Uri.UnescapeDataString(value);
        }
    }
}

call navigation:

await Shell.Current.GoToAsync("testpage?name=Abyssinian");

Hope it helps.
