Navigation bar does not hide on PushAsync in .NET MAUI 10

Question

Navigation bar does not hide on PushAsync in .NET MAUI 10

jael pineda quiroz 20

Summary:
When navigating to a new page using Navigation.PushAsync(), the navigation bar remains visible, even though I set NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(this, false).
Expected Behavior:
The navigation bar should be hidden on the new page, the same as it is on MainPage.
Actual Behavior:
The navigation bar is still shown when navigating to any page other than MainPage.
Steps to Reproduce:

Create a new .NET MAUI project (MAUI 10).
On any page other than MainPage, add the following code in the constructor: NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(this, false);
NavigationPage.SetBackButtonTitle(this, null);
Navigate to this page using Navigation.PushAsync(new Page()); 4. Observe that the navigation bar is still shown.

Hi @jael pineda quiroz ,

The MAUI docs show this model for a navigation root:

protected override Window CreateWindow(IActivationState? activationState) { return new Window(new NavigationPage(new MainPage())); }

If your MainPage is shown inside a NavigationPage differently (for example, via Shell, a nested NavigationPage, or some other container), SetHasNavigationBar on the pushed pages may not behave as expected.

If the project uses Shell, the “navigation bar” you’re seeing may be Shell’s header/chrome (not NavigationPage’s bar). In that case, NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(...) won’t control it.

With PushAsync, the new page becomes the active page on the same navigation stack. The bar is a property of the navigation container and/or renderer behavior, and page-level flags may not be applied consistently depending on:

whether the app is actually hosted in a NavigationPage root,

whether you’re mixing Shell + NavigationPage,

and platform-specific behavior.

Hi @jael pineda quiroz ,

The behavior depends on your app's root container. If your app uses Shell (the default MAUI 10 template with AppShell), the NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(...) attached property is ignored that's why it has no effect on your pushed pages. Use the Shell property instead:

XAML on each detail page: Shell.NavBarIsVisible="False"
or C# in the constructor: Shell.SetNavBarIsVisible(this, false);

If you're hosting in a NavigationPage (new Window(new NavigationPage(new MainPage()))), then NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(this, false) does work in that case make sure you're not wrapping pages inside a Shell, and that the property is set on the pushed page instance.

Note: Shell.NavBarVisibilityAnimationEnabled (new in .NET 10) only animates the show/hide it doesn't hide the bar.

Hope this helps!

hi jael pineda quiroz & thx for sharing urs issue here at Q&A portal,

.NET MAUI navigation bug or regression, not an Azure API Management issue. Your page-level call is correct

NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(this, false);

Since it works on MainPage but not after PushAsync, try setting it again in OnAppearing():

protected override void OnAppearing()

{
    base.OnAppearing();
    NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(this, false);
    NavigationPage.SetHasBackButton(this, false);
}

You can also set it directly in XAML:

<ContentPage
    ...
    NavigationPage.HasNavigationBar="False">

If the purple area is the Android status bar rather than the MAUI navigation bar, SetHasNavigationBar() won’t hide it. Your screenshots seem to show both: the white row with the back arrow is the navigation bar, while the purple strip at the top is the system status bar. If the white navigation bar remains after setting the attached property in XAML and OnAppearing(), create a minimal repro and report it to the .NET MAUI GitHub repo. Reinstalling packages won’t fix a handler regression.

I tried everything but it doesn't work. The only solution i found is this in the xaml view:
https://github.com/JLLQ221/BugBarMAUI10

<Shell.BackButtonBehavior>

<BackButtonBehavior IsVisible="False" IsEnabled="False" />

</Shell.BackButtonBehavior>

This not work beacuase i tried but not doing something:

XML

<ContentPage ... NavigationPage.HasNavigationBar="False">

I tried this but nothing:

C#

{ base.OnAppearing(); NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(this, false); NavigationPage.SetHasBackButton(this, false); }

Now I have the problem that I want to use the back button but I can't. I have the idea of placing it manually but I don't think this is the solution because it will change in some update.

And in my MainActivity is this:
