Processing Xamarin ListView with LoadMore in MVVM

ListView supports binding the LoadMoreOption, LoadMoreCommand, and IsBusy properties from view model to load more number of items at runtime. LoadMoreOption enables load more manually or automatically when loading the items at runtime. LoadMoreCommand executes to load the items form view model. The IsBusy property notifies that the items are populating from view model to show or hide the load more view.

The IsBusy property in view model shows the busy indicator when populating the ItemsSource.
