Examples of MvxScaffolding with simple projects

This is probably not the correct way to ask about this type of problem, so please let me know hot this is normally suppose to be done.
Also, I greatly appreciate this project, i think this is totally amazing what you have done
My request is for an enhancement to have examples of using MvxScaffolding using many different settings; ex IOS, Android, whatever.
I am new to Xamarin Forms and am having trouble creating a binding with this solution using a Picker binding to 2 Edit fields. I have looked in many places, including MvvmCross and cannot find current information on how to do this example; old example do not seem to work.
Thanks either way.
Hi @murphymj5209 I'm glad you are finding MvxScaffolding useful.
The purpose of this GitHub repo is for MvvmCross project templates to aid in starting a fresh project. What you are looking for is more the job of MvvmCross-Samples repo. While a lot of the sample projects are out of date. I would suggest having a look at the StarWars Sample projects. They cover quite a lot of features, reasonably up to date and contains samples for both Xamarin Forms and Xamarin Native implementation.
If you are having a particular implementation issue, I would suggest making use of Stack Overflow or the MvvmCross Slack channel (MvvmCross support options).
please do not think i am negative on this project in what i am going to say; I disagree with what you have said about needing mvvmcross help, especially since with the large programming staff, i do not understand why the examples is not up-to-date.
Since i have not seen any examples of this project usage on Github, how can i be assured that this project works. The suggested StarWars does not seem to be close in its design; maybe it is but i do not see it that way right now.
I do agree that my knowledge of mvvmcross for this current version is lacking but i am very persistent and hopefully i will find out how to do a Picker control(with male / female) and send the selected value to 2 Edit controls so i can make some computations display.
The templates generated through MvxScaffolding try not to prescribe any particular MvvmCross implementation patterns. MvvmCross offers a lot of flexibility in implementation patterns and as such MvxScaffolding tries to cater for this via offering a bare-bones template option (blank template) to a more implementation heavy option in the navigation menu. MvxScaffolding purpose is to generate a basic MvvmCross project with a few clicks, from then on you are free to follow whatever implementation pattern you wish to use.
Closing this issue, as at this time MvxScaffolding will not be adding more in-depth sample implementation projects.
