anyone Please help me with the code to auto slide pageviewers on set time in xamarin android

I think you will need to invoke your method of changing current item to the RunOnUiThread method to ensure this it will be executed in UI thread, for example:
var timer = new System.Timers.Timer();
timer.Interval = 1000;
timer.Enabled = true;
int page = 0;
timer.Elapsed += (sender, args) =>
{
RunOnUiThread(() =>
{
if (page <= viewPager.Adapter.Count)
{
page++;
}
else
{
page = 0;
}
viewPager.SetCurrentItem(page, true);
Log.WriteLine(LogPriority.Debug, "CurrentItem:", viewPager.CurrentItem.ToString());
});
};
