Unable to activate instance of type NavigationPageRenderer

Question

I have a MasterDetailPage and this page get pushed to a Navigation:

await MainPage.Navigation.PushAsync(new MasterDevicePage());

when the master device page get loaded, the master page's list view will then select one of the page and display it on the detail screen.

masterPage.ListView.ItemSelected += (sender, e) =>
        {
            var item = e.SelectedItem as MasterPageModel;
            if (item != null)
            {
                Detail = new NavigationPage((Page)Activator.CreateInstance(item.TargetType));
                Detail.Title = item.Title;
                masterPage.ListView.SelectedItem = null;
                IsPresented = false;
            }
        };

The error occurs at the Detail = new NavigationPage part.

You can try to fix it supplying constructor

public YourClass (IntPtr javaReference, JniHandleOwnership transfer)
            : base ()
        {
        }

BUT MasterDetailPage should be never pushed to Navigation stack.
