Get current ViewModel MvvmCross

Question

Strangely, I did not find a direct answer to the very simple question on the internet.

How do I determine currently active ViewModel in MvvmCross

Answer 1

Another way if you only want to see from your ViewModel if it's active/visible is just to have a bool field and update it on ViewAppeared / ViewDisappeared:

public class MyViewModel : MvxViewModel
{
    private bool _isVisible;

    public override void ViewAppeared()
    {
        base.ViewAppeared();

        _isVisible = true;
    }

    public override void ViewDisappeared()
    {
        base.ViewDisappeared();

        _isVisible = false;
    }
}

Most of the times this is enough and you can use _isVisible to check that.
