[TIP] "Dispatcher.BeginInvoke()" in Xamarin.Forms

By
In traditional WP8 apps, when you want to update a visual element but you are not in the UI thread, you have to use the dispatcher like this:

Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke( /* my custom task */);

In Xamarin.Forms, you have to use the Device's object static method:

Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() =>
{
  // your code on UI thread here...
});
