I saw that there are already similar threads for listview and I believe thatSfDataGrid is inherited from listview and it might be the same error. You repliedhereas it is XF latest release related but I am not sure if it is same issue for my case because using latest version my xaml below works fine. So sfgrid:SfDataGrid indeed works with latest release of XF.

AllowSorting="True"

But once I lay everything inside a SfNavigationDriver, I am getting same null exception. So what is the problem here if this is not XF related?

opps, sorry actually I was wrong it has nothing to do with SfDataGrid. SfDataGrid works just fine inside a SfNavigationDrawer. I had another control which is xlabs:AutoCompleteView, this is the one causing error with the listView. But this tool is also working fine unless I use SfNavigationDrawer around it. How is related together? does SfNavigationDrawer tiggers some error on ListView? 
I am going try sfAutoCompleteView to see if it has same error.

Hi Emil,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

We would like to inform that the issue "Adding list view in NavigationDrawer’s throws exception" is occurring due to Xamarin Forms latest versions. We request you to use the older version (i.e.2.3.1.114) of Xamarin forms till the has been resolved. And also there is a query already raised in Xamarin forum regarding the same. Please find the link for the query.

https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/80549/android-listview-crashes-not-on-ios-or-uwp  

And We have filed a bug report about "adding a list view in NavigationDrawer crashes the app on Xamarin.Forms Android platform" and please find the link for the report in below.

Pavendhan K.
