Hi there
I'm trying to have a master detail page for my menu, and navigation page to display the hamburger icon, the only thing is if I navigate around detail page, it brings up only arrow. I need to have both. Is there a way to achieve this? I've seen syncfusions and telerik's side drawers but it seems that they do not use navigation page instead they have their own top bar, is there a way to make it all work?
IS there a way to add additional icons to the left side of navigation panel so that I can have back arrow and a hamburger icon or any other icon ?

Thanks

Do you actually need two buttons, with different functionality, or just the visual indicators, because you could just change the hamburger menu icon to a wider one with the arrow as well.
Like in the picture, these are two individual buttons with different functionality. Back arrow goes back, and the hamburger opens up a "general" menu for accessing products, my account, settings, log out etc.
@Peter.4518 : You can achieve this by using your own custom navigation bar for drawing hamburger menu and navigation at same time. I've answered this over here, check this post

Think then you want to play with Toolbars, have a look at https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/17339/navigationpage-and-toolbaritems or https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/17351/making-a-toolbar and see if that's a starting point
Hi
Thanks, I tried implementing your solution but I have a problem with using this and prism navigation, it doesn't seem to work correctly it just stacks up blank pages on master detail I'm doing MenuPage/NavigationPage/TestPage
I recall being able to do something like this on one of my first XF projects. And it seemed to be as simple as adding a hamburger to the toolbar, and then there was an option as to which side you wanted it to appear on. But that was back on xf 1.4 and a couple years ago so I'm rusty on the details.
