Hi,
We are currently developing an app were one of the page need to have an overlay action bar.
The app is an epub/pdf reader. When we are on the reading page, we want the action bar to be shown only when asked. As we don't want the content to be resized when the action bar is shown, we wanna use the overlay mode.
The best example of this kind of interaction is Google play books.
The problem is that we can't change the overlay window feature once the activity has been created. As there is only one activity for the lifetime of a xamarin forms application, we are stuck.
One possible solution is to set the overlay property for all the application and set a margin-top on every page that don't need the overlay feature. But we think this is a trick and not a nice solution.
Is there a way to launch a page in a new Activity using Xamarin.Forms ? Could you think of robust solution to have a page with relative layout while the others don't ?
