I'm working on a Radio App, using a TabbedPage layout. Basically, I have 3 bottom tabs, and I want them all to show a simple radio player (which shows the current song / radio program being played, and the play / pause button).

I've set up the player inside a ContentView, and can achieve this result by placing the PlayerView on each tab, thus, having 3 copies of the same view, one on each tab.

Is there a simple way to overlay the player view over the TabbedPage?

  • are you using the tabs to simulate radio buttons? I would try something like a segmented control instead. – Jason Apr 15 '19 at 20:13
  • No. I have 3 tabs, and a Player View, which is called upon each tab, via a AbsoluteLayout position. https://imgur.com/qv1aymj mock of the App. – Tehort Apr 15 '19 at 20:29
  • You can refer to the float action buttonhttps://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/93644/floating-action-button-at-the-bottom-of-the-xaml-page – Leon Apr 16 '19 at 08:03
  • Man, I am trying to do the same thing and have given-up after 3 months of dead-ends. I have a custom renderer for tab pages but can't get the overlay do play nice with its datacontext – Florian Doyon Jun 07 '21 at 13:35
