create a swipe view programmatically xamarin.forms - xamarin.forms

Question

i am trying to implement a swipe view that performs action when swiped using Mode=Execute. the code in xaml works properly:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="swipe.MainPage">
<StackLayout x:Name="hg">
<SwipeView Threshold="100">
<SwipeView.LeftItems>
<SwipeItems Mode="Execute">
<SwipeItem Text="Delete"
IconImageSource="delete.png"
BackgroundColor="LightPink"
Invoked="SwipeItem_Invoked"
/>
</SwipeItems>
</SwipeView.LeftItems>
<!-- Content -->
<Grid HeightRequest="60"
WidthRequest="300"
BackgroundColor="LightGray">
<Label Text="Swipe right"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
VerticalOptions="Center" />
</Grid>
</SwipeView>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage>
xaml.cs
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void SwipeItem_Invoked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DisplayAlert("xj", "cc", "dd");
}
but when i try to create the same swipe view programmatically the function when swipe item is invoked doesn't work. here is the code:
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
Grid grid = new Grid
{
HeightRequest = 60,
WidthRequest = 300,
BackgroundColor = Color.LightGray
};
grid.Children.Add(new Label
{
Text = "Swipe right",
HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center,
VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center
});
SwipeItem delete = new SwipeItem
{
Text = "Remove",
BackgroundColor = Color.Pink
};
SwipeItems items = new SwipeItems
{
Mode = SwipeMode.Execute
};
items.Add(delete);
SwipeView swipe = new SwipeView
{
Threshold = 80,
LeftItems = new SwipeItems(items),
Content = grid
};
delete.Invoked += SwipeItem_Invoked;
hg.Children.Add(swipe);
}
private void SwipeItem_Invoked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DisplayAlert("xj", "cc", "dd");
}
why doesn't it work though i specified the mode to be execute. what am i doing wrong? thanks in advance

Here is the full code I tested:
MainPage.xaml
<StackLayout x:Name="hg">
</StackLayout>
MainPage.xaml.cs
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
Grid grid = new Grid
{
HeightRequest = 60,
WidthRequest = 300,
BackgroundColor = Color.LightGray
};
grid.Children.Add(new Label
{
Text = "Swipe right",
HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center,
VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center
});
SwipeItem delete = new SwipeItem
{
Text = "Remove",
BackgroundColor = Color.Pink
};
SwipeItems items = new SwipeItems
{
Mode = SwipeMode.Execute
};
items.Add(delete);
SwipeView swipe = new SwipeView
{
Threshold = 80,
LeftItems = new SwipeItems(items),
Content = grid
};
delete.Invoked += SwipeItem_Invoked;
hg.Children.Add(swipe);
}
private void SwipeItem_Invoked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DisplayAlert("xj", "cc", "dd");
}
}
