Xamarin Forms - How to get the index number from ListView SelectedItem
int, listview, selecteditem, xamarin, xamarin.forms
Solution
In the event handler for your `ItemTapped` event, do the following:
private void Handle_ItemTapped (object sender, Xamarin.Forms.ItemTappedEventArgs e)
{
var index = (myListView.ItemsSource as List<Person>).IndexOf (e.SelectedItem as Person);
}
Make sure the type of the collection is right. This isn't the most elegant way, but it works.
Problem
I am completely stuck on this. I have a ListView defined in XAML code, but I need to find out what the `int` of the selected item I am tapping. My listview is called `PeopleList` When I tap on a cell I need to get the index number of that cell. So I can do `PeopleList.SelectedItem` but this returns an object - not an int. I have tried parsing it and converting and everything that makes logically sense to me. Can someone please tell me how to get the int for the selectedItem?
