Xamarin Forms button event not firing on Android - xamarin

Question

I have a Xamarin Forms app, in one of my pages I have two buttons, on Android when you tap the button it does not fire the event, it just highlights the button, if you tap a second time then it fires the event, on iOS it runs flawlessly. Below is some Code extracts, sorry if my code has bad practices, I am a noob, so please do correct me, best way to learn:
//Initialize Page
public GameDetailsNew(Game myEvent)
{
InitializeComponent();
MyEvent.Text = myEvent.EventName;
MyTimeHeader.Text = myEvent.TimeOfEvent;
myEventID = myEvent.EventID;
Task.Run(() => { GetAttendingEvent(myEvent.EventID); });
}
//GetAttendingEvent
private void GetAttendingEvent(int eventID)
{
var registerLable = "";
var attendinIsVisible = false;
var notAttendingIsVisible = false;
try
{
HelperFiles.APICaller ac = new HelperFiles.APICaller();
var x = (string)ac.CallCOFMOBILEBool("GetIsAttending?eventID=" + eventID);
if (x == "Attending")
{
registerLable = "You are currently Attending this Event";
attendinIsVisible = false;
notAttendingIsVisible = true;
}
else
{
registerLable = "You are currently NOT Attending this Event";
attendinIsVisible = true;
notAttendingIsVisible = false;
}
Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() =>
{
RegisterLable.Text = registerLable;
AttendingButton.IsVisible = attendinIsVisible;
NotAttendingButton.IsVisible = notAttendingIsVisible;
});
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MyAlerts("Error", ex.Message, "OK");
}
}
//My To Button Event Handlers
//Sets User as attending event
void AttendingClicked(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
try
{
HelperFiles.APICaller ac = new HelperFiles.APICaller();
var x = (string)ac.CallCOFMOBILEBool("GetCreateAttending?eventID=" + myEventID);
if (x == "1")
{
RegisterLable.Text = "You are currently Attending this Event";
AttendingButton.IsVisible = false;
NotAttendingButton.IsVisible = true;
}
else
{
RegisterLable.Text = "You are currently NOT Attending this Event";
AttendingButton.IsVisible = true;
NotAttendingButton.IsVisible = false;
}
GetDeployingEvent(myEventID);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MyAlerts("Error", ex.Message, "OK");
}
}
//Sets User as Not attending event
void NotAttendingClicked(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
try
{
HelperFiles.APICaller ac = new HelperFiles.APICaller();
var x = (string)ac.CallCOFMOBILEBool("GetCreateNotAttending?eventID=" + myEventID);
if (x != "1")
{
RegisterLable.Text = "You are currently Attending this Event";
AttendingButton.IsVisible = false;
NotAttendingButton.IsVisible = true;
}
else
{
RegisterLable.Text = "You are currently NOT Attending this Event";
AttendingButton.IsVisible = true;
NotAttendingButton.IsVisible = false;
}
GetDeployingEvent(myEventID);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MyAlerts("Error", ex.Message, "OK");
}
}

I just wanted to update on this, I managed to resolve the issue. about 8 months ago I started my project in Xamarin Studio, fast forward a few months, Xamarin Studios changed to Visual Studio. No matter what i done i could not get rid of this bug, I then started a brand new app and pasted all my code in to the new app. This has resolved the bug.
