I'm looking to do something similar to a Navigation.PushModalAsync on iOS, only that it would be just a small view that lands in the center of the page, and a background transparent overlay so that the page beneath it can still be seen (light a lightbox).
Is something like this possible in Xamarin.Forms? I've found http://iosapi.xamarin.com/?link=T:Xamarin.Forms.Animation but haven't found any tutorial on using it. My guess is that this would require AbsoluteLayout, where the main page would fill the whole screen, and the modal would start off-screen and be animated to the visible area. Would something like that work?
