Use GetFilesAsync() to retrieve the files in the folder, then for each retrieved item, display its Path property (assuming that's what you want to display).

<grid grid.row="1">
            <grid.rowdefinitions>
                <rowdefinition height="Auto"></rowdefinition>
                <rowdefinition height="Auto"></rowdefinition>
            </grid.rowdefinitions>
                    <listview x:name="FolderList" horizontalalignment="Left" height="Auto" margin="125,30,0,0" verticalalignment="Top" width="250" removed="#FF636E5D" xmlns:x="#unknown">
                <listview.itemtemplate>
                            <datatemplate>
                                <textblock text="{Binding DisplayName}"></textblock>
                            </datatemplate>
                        </listview.itemtemplate>
                    </listview>         
        </grid>

Now, in code behind write following code:

C#

protected async override void LoadState(Object navigationParameter, Dictionary<string,> pageState)
        {
            var folders = await Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.DocumentsLibrary.GetFoldersAsync();
            var data = folders.ToList<windows.storage.storagefolder>();
            FolderList.ItemsSource = data;
        }

This will show all the folders within the DocumentsLibrary in ListView.
