ListView Grid Item Holding not working

I'm using a ListView with more than one DataTemplate. I'm trying to detect when the user clicks on an Item to show a Flyout.
GridItem_Holding is never called.
XAML:
<DataTemplate x:Key="myKey1">
<Grid Holding="GridItem_Holding">
...
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="myKey2">
<Grid Holding="GridItem_Holding">
...
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
Code behind:
private void GridItem_Holding(object sender, HoldingRoutedEventArgs e)
{
}

Try like this
<Grid x:Name="GridListItem" Holding="Grid_Holding">

Have you remembered IsHoldingEnabled on Grid or children? Holding event is not triggered unless it is set true.

longlistselector header/footer click

I'm very new in WindowsPhone development and at this moment I'm facing a problem that I couldn't find a way to fix. I'm using a LongListSelector to show some information on the device screen and also a Header and a Footer with some static information. Everything looks right, but I can't handle the Click/Tap on the Header and on the Footer (the other items are working properly).
Someone know how to do it? Is there any event that tells my .cs that someone clicked on the footer or on the header view?
Thanks!

Implement ListFooter and ListHeader in your xaml.
Example :
<phone:LongListSelector x:Name="myLongListSelector"
Background="Transparent"
IsGroupingEnabled="True"
HideEmptyGroups="True">
<phone:LongListSelector.ListFooter>
<Grid Height="70" Tap="Grid_Tap">
<TextBlock Text="Texxt" Foreground="White"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
FontWeight="Bold"
FontSize="20"/>
</Grid>
</phone:LongListSelector.ListFooter>
</phone:LongListSelector>
Now in your cs file, you have :
private void Grid_Tap(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
{
}

Back button not working in XAML / W8

I have the following button on my page:
<AppBarButton Grid.Column="0" x:Name="backButton" Icon="Back" Margin="10,26,0,-1"
Command="{Binding NavigationHelper.GoBackCommand, ElementName=pageRoot}"
IsEnabled="True"
Visibility="Visible"
Foreground="Green"
AutomationProperties.Name="Back"
AutomationProperties.AutomationId="BackButton"
AutomationProperties.ItemType="Navigation Button" Grid.Row="1" Grid.RowSpan="2" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
/>
The button appears but clicking it does nothing. This was placed on the second of two pages in the application. I followed the instructions in NavigatonHelper.cs to get it wired up to my second page, but haven't done anything special in the first. What am I missing?
I even tried tying the Click property to a custom function:
public void ClickGoBack(object sender, RoutedEventArgs routedEventArgs) {
this.Frame.Navigate(typeof(HubPage));
}
But this never even got hit when I clicked the button.

Have you checked the Click existed in AppBarButton defined?
like: <AppBarButton ... Click="ClickGoBack"></AppBarButton>
and you should use
if (this.Frame.CanGoBack)
{
this.Frame.GoBack();
}
instead of
this.Frame.Navigate(typeof(HubPage));

You could do this instead much more easier for me.
<AppBar><Button Style="{StaticResource BackButtonStyle}" Click="Click1"></Button>
</AppBar>
and for your code behind...
private void ButtonBase_OnClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Frame.GoBack();
}

Something was put after the top grid in the XAML that overlapped the button - I didn't understand the concept of "natural order" until now. Thanks for the help everyone!

Get previous page name

something that I thought would be simple is turning out not to be, or I'm just not thinking hard enough :)
I have a page which I navigate to, in the OnNavigateTo event I set the SelectedIndex of a ListPicker and that works fine.
If I then touch the ListPicker and select a new value the OnNavigateTo event is fired again and the new value is overridden by the original value.
My initial thought was to simply check the parent page name and if it was the ListPicker then skip the initial setting but I can't seem to find where to get the parent page name from.
Any clues? or a better way I should be handling this?
Here's the XAML:
<toolkit:ListPicker x:Name="Status" Margin="10,549,163,-97" Header="Status" FullModeHeader="Status" ExpansionMode="FullScreenOnly" BorderBrush="Black" Foreground="Black" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Visibility="Visible">
<toolkit:ListPicker.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" />
</DataTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker.ItemTemplate>
<toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}"
FontSize="43"
FontFamily="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyLight}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker>
And here's the Loaded event:
private void AddNote_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.TicketStatus.ItemsSource = ticketStatus();
string st;
if (NavigationContext.QueryString.TryGetValue("status", out st))
{
tStatus = st;
TicketStatus.SelectedIndex = GetStatus(tStatus);
}
}

Ok, worked around it but creating my own page list and manually adding and removing the pages I want to check for. Bit of a hack but it works :)

Hold Event Longlistselector

Hej
I want to create a standard holdevent. When you hold an element, there would appear some options you could chose like a new list.
How do you create this, is it just simply done with a popup or is there a smarter way?
Extra
After finding the answer, see answer below, some nice info is:
Put the context creation inside the hold event.
Then you can change to different contextmenus depending on the item. You can get the item that was holded by the following
private void StackPanel_Hold(object sender, GestureEventArgs e)
{
ItemViewModel itemViewModel = (sender as StackPanel).DataContext as ItemViewModel;
string t = itemViewModel.LineOne;
}
And
<ListBox x:Name="MainListBox" Margin="0,0,-12,0" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,17" Height="78" Hold="StackPanel_Hold">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LineOne}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LineTwo}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
A good link for easy implementation is also youtube link below, replicated here :

A ContextMenu is one option..
