Hello
I have some questions about the designer, Xamarin Forms and Xamarin Studio.
- If I create a XAML layout (MainPage.xaml). Can I view/edit this in the Xamarin Studio designer? Or can the Xamarin Studio designer only edit/view AXML layouts?
- If I use Layouts (AXML) to design my app; do I need to create a separate Layout file for each platform (Android and iOS)? Can I just copy the layout file into each project?
- If I go into my Android project (of my Xamarin.Forms Portable solution) and create a layout (AXML). Is that layout using Xamarin Forms? I understand that at runtime all Forms are converted to native UI elements but I am trying to understand the difference between a xaml, axml and C# coded ContentPage.
As you can see I am a bit confused regarding how Forms cooperates with the Designer (if at all). So any advice would be very helpful.
