Xamarin Forms How can I inject a ContentPage into Frame element?

I need to inject a ContentPage into Frame element ?
Is this possible to be done ?
I have update my description and I have added the below code
XAML Code
<navigationdrawer:SfNavigationDrawer x:Name="navigationDrawer"
DrawerWidth ="400"
Position="Right"
BackgroundColor="{DynamicResource DynamicContentPageBackgroundColor}"
DrawerHeaderHeight="160">
<navigationdrawer:SfNavigationDrawer.ContentView>
<Grid x:Name="mainContentView" BackgroundColor="{DynamicResource DynamicContentPageBackgroundColor}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="auto"/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="{DynamicResource DynamicContentPageBackgroundColor}" Orientation="Horizontal">
<controls:IconButton Text="{i18n:TransIcn HamburgerMenu}" FontSize="30" x:Name="SyncIcon" HorizontalOptions="Start" Clicked="hamburgerButton_Clicked" BackgroundColor="Transparent" TextColor="#FFFFFF" ></controls:IconButton>
<Label x:Name="headerLabel" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" VerticalTextAlignment="Center" Text="" FontSize="16"/>
</StackLayout>
<ScrollView Grid.Row="1" Margin="0" Padding="0">
<Frame x:Name="contentViewFrame" >
</Frame>
</ScrollView>
</Grid>
</navigationdrawer:SfNavigationDrawer.ContentView>
<navigationdrawer:SfNavigationDrawer.DrawerHeaderView>
<Grid BackgroundColor="{DynamicResource DynamicContentPageBackgroundColor}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="120"/>
<RowDefinition Height="40"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<!--<Image Source="icon.png" HeightRequest="110" BackgroundColor="#1aa1d6" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center"/>-->
<Label Text="James Pollock" Grid.Row="1" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center" FontSize="20" TextColor="White"/>
</Grid>
</navigationdrawer:SfNavigationDrawer.DrawerHeaderView>
<navigationdrawer:SfNavigationDrawer.DrawerContentView>
<ListView x:Name="listView"

Please Let me know if you need more information.
The issue is that I cannot add a ContentPage Object into the ContentView item so could please provide me with some workarounds that I might go for ?

As they have been mentioning in the comments about a content VIEW vs content page, that should work for you with a slight bit of alteration. When I wrote my first Xamarin app, I had several other applications over time that have had nested controls in controls and did not want to find myself in similar.
So, what I did was to create simple user controls with all the stuff I needed on them. So when I was creating a page, I would just add my user control where it physically needed to be placed. This way, should I need to alter the layout of that one user control, it doesn't change the functionality the rest of the way through. Binding was the same because the binding context was the same level, regardless of the VISUAL depth of controls.
So, if you were to create a new Navigation drawer user control of its own context, then slap that in your content page should work for you.

Send Text value from 2 Labels using Command inside BindableLayout

I'm working with MVVM and I have a bindablelayout like this:
<StackLayout Margin="20" BindableLayout.ItemsSource="{Binding MyApartments}" >
<BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackLayout Margin="0,10,0,0">
<Frame Padding="15" HasShadow="True" BackgroundColor="WhiteSmoke" HorizontalOptions="Fill" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" HeightRequest="150" CornerRadius="15">
<StackLayout x:Name="AptItems">
<Label x:Name="apartmentlabel" Text="{Binding MyApartments.apartment}" Margin="0,15,0,0" FontFamily="{StaticResource mon_extrabold}" TextColor="DarkBlue" FontSize="Title"/>
<Label x:Name="numberlabel" Text="{Binding MyApartments.number}" FontFamily="{StaticResource mon_bold}" TextColor="DarkBlue" FontSize="Subtitle"/>
<Button HorizontalOptions="End" FontFamily="{StaticResource mon_regular}" BackgroundColor="{StaticResource bounty}" TextColor="White" Command="{Binding Path=BindingContext.SelectApartment, Source={x:Reference ApartmentsPage}}"/>
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
</StackLayout>
</DataTemplate>
</BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
</StackLayout>
I need to save the value in buildinglabel and numberlabel to my preferences but I don't know how to pass both labels to a command and searched for a long time now with no success, how is it done?

How to Xamarin.forms Scroll work with AbsoluteLayout

I have this .XAML page and Scroll doesn't work
Its working fine when I have remove AbsoluteLayout and take stacklayout.
<ScrollView>
<AbsoluteLayout>
<ListView x:Name="lstView" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0,0,1,1"
ItemSelected="lstView_ItemSelected">
<ListView.Header>
<Label Text="Store Allocation" BackgroundColor="White" TextColor="Black" FontAttributes="Bold" HorizontalOptions="Fill" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" />
</ListView.Header>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextCell Text="{Binding Title}" Height="200" Detail="{Binding Detail}" DetailColor="Black" TextColor="Red" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
<BoxView AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0,0,1,1" BackgroundColor="LightGray" Opacity="0.7" InputTransparent="False" IsVisible="{Binding Path=IsBusy, Source={x:Reference Page}}" />
<ActivityIndicator IsRunning="{Binding Path=IsBusy, Source={x:Reference Page}}" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="PositionProportional" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds=".5,.5,-1,-1" />
</AbsoluteLayout>
</ScrollView>

Your XAML basically "says" put a ScrollView on the page, with an AbsoluteLayout filling that ScrollView. Since the inner layout perfectly fits the ScrollView there is no need to scroll. Moreover the ListView and the BoxView are set to take the whole AbsoluteLayout (AbsoluteLayout.LAyoutBounds="0,0,1,1"), no more no less. Why should the ScrollView scroll?
Furthermore, if it worked that way, you'd scroll the ActivityIndicator with everything else, which is supposedly not what you want. I'd assume that you'd like to keep the ActivityIndicator in place, on top of the ListView.
What you could try (I'm not 100% sure, but it should work) is wrapping the ListView only with the ScrollView and put the ScrollView in the AbsoluteLayout this way, the ScrollView will recognize the ListView being too large for the screen and enable scrolling, while everything else stays in place:
<AbsoluteLayout>
<ScrollView AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0,0,1,1">
<ListView x:Name="lstView" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
ItemSelected="lstView_ItemSelected">
<ListView.Header>
<Label Text="Store Allocation" BackgroundColor="White" TextColor="Black" FontAttributes="Bold" HorizontalOptions="Fill" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" />
</ListView.Header>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextCell Text="{Binding Title}" Height="200" Detail="{Binding Detail}" DetailColor="Black" TextColor="Red" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</ScrollView>
<BoxView AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0,0,1,1" BackgroundColor="LightGray" Opacity="0.7" InputTransparent="False" IsVisible="{Binding Path=IsBusy, Source={x:Reference Page}}" />
<ActivityIndicator IsRunning="{Binding Path=IsBusy, Source={x:Reference Page}}" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="PositionProportional" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds=".5,.5,-1,-1" />
</AbsoluteLayout>

You can also manually set the height of your AbsoluteLayout.
<ScrollView>
<AbsoluteLayout HeightRequest="800">
<!--Page Contents-->
</AbsoluteLayout>
</ScrollView>

ListView Tapped removes button background color on data template Xamarin.Forms

I don't know why, but when I tap any ListView item, the Button inside it's template loses the background color.
I use default ViewCell inside ListView. Is this a Xamarin.Forms bug?
I have this problem only on iOS.
<ListView x:Name="lv" Grid.Row="2" HasUnevenRows="true" BackgroundColor="White" ItemTapped="OnItemTapped">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<StackLayout Padding="16" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" BackgroundColor="{Binding .,Converter={StaticResource IndexColorConverter}">
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="Center">
<Label Text="{Binding Auditorium}" FontSize="18" TextColor="Black"/>
<ContentView Padding="0,-5,0,0">
<Label Text="{Binding Title}" FontSize="16" TextColor="Black"/>
</ContentView>
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
<Button WidthRequest="100" Text="{Binding ButtonOverviewText}" TextColor="White" BackgroundColor="{Binding ButtonColor}" CommandParameter="{Binding .}" Clicked="Handle_Clicked"/>
<Button WidthRequest="100" Text="{Binding ButtonOverviewText}" TextColor="White" BackgroundColor="{Binding ButtonColor}" CommandParameter="{Binding .}" Clicked="Handle_Clicked" />
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
<Label Text="{Binding Coordinator}" FontSize="14" TextColor="Gray"/>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>

There was an old issue that I filed fora similar bug: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=27502.
However, the specific scenario you mention is expected behavior on iOS and happens in native (non-Xamarin.Forms) projects too. See the comment here. You might consider disabling the UITableViewCellSelectionStyle of your cells with UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.None. Here is an example of a cell renderer. You can set the cell.SelectionStyle here. This would stop the gray highlight of the cell. If you don't want that it could be a workaround to keep your button colors.

My workaround for this problem is the following.
<Grid>
<BoxView BackgroundColor="{Binding ButtonColor}"/>
<Button Text="{Binding ButtonOverviewText}" TextColor="White" BackgroundColor="Transparent" CommandParameter="{Binding .}" Clicked="Handle_Clicked"/>
</Grid>

How to get children of the ListView in xamarin.forms?

<ListView x:Name="ListNewsLetter" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutFlags="All" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="0,0,1,1" SeparatorVisibility="Default" VerticalOptions="Fill" ItemTapped="ListNewsLetter_ItemTapped" HasUnevenRows="True">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<ViewCell.View>
<StackLayout HorizontalOptions="Fill" VerticalOptions="Center" Padding="5">
<StackLayout Padding="1" BackgroundColor="#f15a23" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<StackLayout x:Name="stkNewsLetter" VerticalOptions="Center" BackgroundColor="#f15a23" Orientation="Horizontal" HeightRequest="30" Padding="6,0,6,0">
<Label x:Name="lblName" Text="{Binding NewsHeadline}" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" TextColor="White" VerticalTextAlignment="Center" FontSize="Small"/>
<Image x:Name="imgPlus_Minus" HeightRequest="20" WidthRequest="20" Source="ico_down_arrow2_right.png" HorizontalOptions="End" ClassId="{Binding TapId}">
<Image.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="img_Tapped" NumberOfTapsRequired="1" />
</Image.GestureRecognizers>
</Image>
</StackLayout>
<StackLayout x:Name="stkNewsLetterDetail" Orientation="Vertical" BackgroundColor="#ffffff" IsVisible="true" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" Padding="6,0,6,0">
<Label x:Name="lblDate" Text="{Binding NewsDate}" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" VerticalTextAlignment="Start" TextColor="#585858" FontSize="Small"/>
<Label x:Name="lblDetail" Text="{Binding NewsDetails}" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalTextAlignment="Start" TextColor="#585858" FontSize="Small"/>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</ViewCell.View>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
As you see in code ListView having main two child named "stkNewsLetter" and "stkNewLetterDetail". First Stack having Image and I want to change visibility of second stack on Image tap event.
In windows phone It will possible to get UI elements of List view but In xamarin.forms how it is possible?

You should bind to the Visability property on the stackLayout in the same way you are binding the Text. If the stackLayout doesn't have a visibility property you may need to wrap it within another control that does.
The click should change a visibility property in you viewmodel which will get picked up by the binding mentioned above.

For those who came here to get the child elements through Name like me,here is the solution:
var selectedItem = //any item selected within listview through OnItemTapped
StackLayout child1 = selectedItem.FindByName<StackLayout>("stkNewsLetter");
