Back Button on first page when NavigationPage used

Question

I have a custom listview on my Xamarin.Forms apps which has switch control for multi selection. Now I have this issue where in I get backbutton on the first page of my app. The back Button on the first page is not required as it redirects to a black page. I know it has to do something with Navigation.PushAsync. But I could not figure it out where the change is required. If anyone can direct me in correct way wil be helpful.

Here is SelectMultipleBasePage.cs page:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
//using System.Reflection.Emit;
using System.Text;
using Xamarin.Forms;

            {
                get
                {

                }
                set
                {

Answer 1

Instead of doing await Navigation.PushAsync(multiPage); change this to:

Content = multiPage;

This should set the page content for the ListPage you have passed to the NavigationPage to be the SelectMultipleBasePage<T> you setup in code. And this should be the first page in the Navigation and there shouldn't be a back button present.

EDIT: Sorry try changing it to: Content = multiPage.Content;
