DelayBind not binding MvxCommands within MvxTableViewCell on iOS

I have an ItemCell which inherits from MvxTableViewCell. Below is simplified:

Constructor:

public ItemCell(IntPtr handle) : base(handle)
{
    CreateLayout();
    InitializeBindings();
}

CreateLayout() creates and constrains, among other elements:

A UILabel _label, and
A UIButton _button

InitializeBindings:

private void InitializeBindings()
{
    this.DelayBind(() =>
    {
        var set = this.CreateBindingSet<ItemCell, ItemViewModel>();

        set.Bind(_label).For(x => x.Text).SourceDescribed("'Label: ' + ItemNumber");
        set.Bind(_button).To(vm => vm.ItemCommand);

        set.Apply();
    });
}

ViewModel contains the following property and command:

private string _itemNumber;
public string ItemNumber
{
    get { return _itemNumber; }
    set { SetProperty(ref _itemNumber, value); }
}

private IMvxCommand _itemCommand;
public IMvxCommand ItemCommand
{
    get
    {
        return _itemCommand?? (_itemCommand= new MvxCommand(() => {
            //Logic
        }));
    }
 }

When the TableView is bound to a collection and the cells are repeated, _label's text renders the correct value ("Label: {ItemNumber}"), but clicking the button doesn't hit the ItemCommand's get. I have also tried adding .For("TouchUpInside") to the button's binding, but that didn't change anything.

I'm confused as to why the label binds correctly, but the button does not.

Solution

Unfortunately I do not have enough points to add a comment so I'll add my suggestion as an answer.

What possibly might be happening is that your touch event is handled for the whole cell and therefore the event is not passed down to the children of that cell. Your button might be bound correctly but since your button within your cell will never receive the touch event the command which you bound to will never get fired.

EDIT

You can have a look at this link which seems to address your problem. https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/15560/how-to-add-a-custom-button-in-a-table-cell
