How to show setting flyout by using button instead of setting charms

Question

By using Callisto I wrote a code that adds setting charms.

Underneath I attach one:

// Register handler for CommandsRequested events from the setting pane
SettingsPane.GetForCurrentView().CommandsRequested += OnCommandsRequested;

void OnCommandsRequested(SettingsPane sender, SettingsPaneCommandsRequestedEventArgs args)
{
    // Add an Adding Feeds command
    var add = new SettingsCommand("add", "Add new Feed", (handler) =>
    {
        var settings = new SettingsFlyout();
        settings.Content = new AddingPageUserControl();
        settings.HeaderBrush = (SolidColorBrush)Application.Current.Resources["UserControlBackgraund"];
        settings.Background = (SolidColorBrush)Application.Current.Resources["UserControlBackgraund"];
        settings.HeaderText = "Add new Feed";
        settings.IsOpen = true;
    });

    args.Request.ApplicationCommands.Add(add);
}

And I don't know how to create a button in AppBar which opens the same setting flyout as I use to open it by setting charms. My question is: is it possible to create it if yes I need a sort of hint.

You can find the AppBar using Page.BottomAppBar and use FindName method to find a specific button and add a handler to that. The only point is you are currently creating your SettingFlyout inside an anonymous function, so only place you can do that would be inside your anonymous function.
