Xamarin forms transparent navigation bar with visible back button - xamarin

I am currently trying to make a navigation page in a Xamarin Forms cross platform application that has a transparent/invisible navigation bar, but still shows a back button? Does Xamarin forms support any quick and easy way to do this?

You could do either of these two:
Option 1 : Making a Custom renderer that will customize your nav bar
Option 2 : Hiding your navigation bar and then make your own
navigation bar either stacklayout,grid, etc.
then set your navigation bar to transparent and the back button with a color

If you are using Navigation Page as your navigation paradigm, you can use:
NavigationPage.SetHasBackButton(this, false);
This will remove the back button from the navigation bar.

Add fixed bottom menu on Xamarin Forms with Prism MasterDetail

I'm using Xamarin Forms with Prism and I need to create a layout with a sidebar menu and a fixed bar at the bottom of the screen with quick actions like instagram app for iOS and Android.
I was thinking in use MasterDetail but how can I add that fixed bar at bottom of the Detail controller and keep it when detail page changes?
And the second thing is that I have a specific page that has form sections separated by tabs, so how can I render tabs at the top of the page for iOS (like Android)?
Something like this:

Xamarin.Forms styling

I develop Xamarin.Forms app (latest version of Xamarin), I'm targeting only Android. I use TabbedPage which displays bar on the top of the screen. I want to make my custom visual item that will look like the TabbedPage bar. Where can I find out font size, font type, background color, margins etc so I can make my custom visual item that will look like TabbedPage bar?
As you said that you want to create tabbed page I think you should use Xamarin.forms controls (https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/application-fundamentals/navigation/tabbed-page/). But if you want to create custom tabbed then you have to use custom renderer for top navigation bar.

Xamarin Forms: GetBackButton

I have Xamarin App, in the app I have a page which I hide the navigation bar for design purposes. But I still want to show back button. What I could do is that I could make a back icon and put it on the layout and call Navigation.PopAsync() on image tab. However is there a way to get the designated back button from the app?

Navigation Bar, Title and Buttons are hidden in View Controller

I have a problem with navigation bar not getting displayed in iOS 8 (Xcode beta 3). The View Controller is connected to a TableView Controller (embedded in a navigation controller) via Segue (Show/Push). As a result of this connection the View Controller shows a navigation bar.
Now when I to place a custom navigation bar with controls over the inferred navigation bar, it gets hidden. What could be the problem? I do not want to hide the navigation bar via code.Is there any way I can specify Send to Front option for my custom navigation bar?
I have resolved this issue by adding navigation item instead of custom navigation bar. Then added the button bar items to the navigation item. Now the title and the controls are getting displayed.
