About The Project

I'm a big fan of fishkeeping and African Cichlids, so I decided to make an educational app using Xamarin.Forms to showcase the great rift lakes of Africa where African cichlids come from, and also to learn some tabbed navigation!

This app demonstrates hierarchy navigation in Xamarin.Forms by using a root page with a short description of Lake Malawi in Africa and 3 buttons for "Facts", Lake Pics", and "Fish Pics". We use the PushAsync() and PopAsync() methods to "push" and "pop" the pages from the navigation stack. The PopToRootAsync() method is used when the home page button is clicked to pop all but the root page off the stack.

• Click on the "Home" tab to see general information about the great African Rift Lakes - Lake Malawi, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Victoria. At the bottom of the page you can donate to the conservation effort of the great rift lakes.
• Click on the "Lake Malawi" tab to see information about Lake Malawi
• Click on the "Lake Tanganyika" tab to see information about Lake Malawi
• Click on the "Lake Victoria" tab to see information about Lake Malawi
