store and access last searches xamarin forms
<p>So I have this project in which I need to add search functionality to a ListView. I'm using a different page (as done in sample EmployeeDirectory from xamarin - <a href="https://github.com/pemq/xamarin-forms-samples/tree/master/EmployeeDirectory" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pemq/xamarin-forms-samples/tree/master/EmployeeDirectory</a>) and there I only need to display (if any are available) the last 5 searches the user made, in a listView, to keep things simple.</p>

<p>Now the problem is (and funny how one can always come across something so simple and foolishly complicated with xamarin -_-) I came across a solution which is giving me enough trouble which is storing these searches in an xml file in the app, and access them afterwards in order to show them to the user, and allow some interaction (like selecting one of the searches and display it's results in the main listView for the items...</p>

<p>I know, I know, I'm trying to use tools made for little kids games in order to build super-styled late hip professional apps for business consumers, but hey, I'm not the company boss, so I just have to deal with that and perform as much miracles as required (even though there's no such thing ._.)...</p>

<p>Any suggestions, please, on how to perform something like this? Where in the app can I store this xml file I need, and how to access it? So far this was the only useful result I could find in the web <a href="https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/24275/search-bar-or-autocomplete-for-xamarin-forms" rel="nofollow">https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/24275/search-bar-or-autocomplete-for-xamarin-forms</a> - just it yourselves...</p>

<p>Once again I know I'm asking too much of you, and thanks in advance to anyone that can help...</p>
