  Up, I have exactly the same question, let suppose that I am using the same MVVM architecture as @JamesMontemagno in this project https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/Hanselman.Forms.
  How to set new Detail page when I want to navigate to from another Detail page?

  @JamesMontemagno thank you!
  But lets suppose that we are in this line:
  https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/Hanselman.Forms/blob/master/Hanselman.Portable/Views/BlogPage.xaml.cs#L29
  and would like to open:
  https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/Hanselman.Forms/blob/master/Hanselman.Portable/Views/BlogDetailsView.cs
  and still be in the MasterDetail scenario, not using this.Navigation.PushAsync(new Page()) which will open new Page() in the new window, outside the MasterDetail, you know that I mean?

  @tkowalczyk
  It opens the new Page in the DetailElement if you create the NavigationPage on the DetailElement in the Master as in @JamesMontemagno 's example in the lines below.
  in Master:
  var homeNav = new NavigationPage(master.PageSelection) { BarBackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("#3498DB"), BarTextColor = Color.White }; Detail = homeNav;

  In Detail:
  then you call this.Navigation.PushAsync(new Page()) in your Detail Page... so the new page comes on your Detail Container.

  It works for me now!

  @mra thx, so maybe I am doing smth wrong, could you check at my sample repo here:
  https://github.com/tkowalczyk/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed

  in my master I have as follow:
  https://github.com/tkowalczyk/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/blob/master/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/Views/MainView.cs

  and in my Detail I am openning new view like so:
  https://github.com/tkowalczyk/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/blob/master/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/Views/PageOneView.cs#L23

  But it still opens my FeedbackView in the new Page, at the top and not in the Detail container.
  Can you explain me what did I missed?

  @tkowalczyk i've tested your code on iPad and it opened the Page
  in the Detail container as it should in horizontal mode.

  In portrait the master flies out so it looks like it's opened
  on the whole page because the Menu Button is replaced with a "Back" Button.

  You can set this.MasterBehavior = MasterBehavior.Split; or IsPresented = true; in your BaseView.

  @mra I am testing your solution on android device and emulator and it doesn't help me:
  https://github.com/tkowalczyk/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/blob/master/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/Views/MainView.cs#L31 causes that menu is opened from the beginning and this line:
  https://github.com/tkowalczyk/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/blob/master/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/Views/MainView.cs#L33 makes nothing. Maybe do have some other ideas? Could you run this repo on android ?

  maybe it's because you still set isPresented = false when you open a new detail ?
  https://github.com/tkowalczyk/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/blob/master/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/SimpleMasterDetailTabbed/Views/MainView.cs#L62

  Sorry I don't have a android licence I only can run this on iOS and there it is in the detail... i think its only a visual problem.

  @mra your solution is working on iPads because the menu is always visible IsPresented = true but it is not working on iPhone or android device or emulator, I will have to find how to make it working, but big thanks for your help, if you will find something interesting in this topic, please let me know

  Hi I found a method to replace the Detail Page of MasterDetailPage, I think it may better. I get the reference of the MainPage from the App class which is the global context.

  //global ref of app
  var app = Application.Current as App;
  //we set the MasterDetailPage to the MainPage of App(this MainPage is one property of App)
  //get the MainPage and cast it to MainPage(this is the page I defined)
  var mainPage = (MainPage) app.MainPage;
      //set the detail of this page with new page!
  mainPage.Detail = new NavigationPage(new Home());

  @JamesMontemagno Hi There, the link is dead again. Could anyone post the code for this? Thanks in advance.

  Seen this by @xinmeng
  mainPage.Detail = new NavigationPage(new Home());

  Does anyone know how to pass Prism navigation parameters this way?
