Stick Layout in Xamarin Forms to bottom

Question

I\'m making an application in Xamarin forms but I have some trouble sticking a layout to the bottom of the device. I thought an AbsoluteLayout would work, but I cannot grasp

Answer 1

Have you figured it out yet? If not, there is a few ways you could accomplish this: Note that i've got the same problem my self, but this is my theory:

So that you could have a StackLayout in which you populate it with three "main childeren". The first could be a absolute or relative layout (I don't know the difference that well yet). In theory you should be able to add a element to the absolute layout and then add elements on top of the first element, because absolute layout uses a z-index, which works like layers in photoshop. So in other words do it like this:

var topAbsoluteLayout = new AbsoluteLayout();

            topAbsoluteLayout.Children.Add(header, new Point(0, 0));
            topAbsoluteLayout.Children.Add(element1, new Point(x,y));
            topAbsoluteLayout.Children.Add(element2, new Point(x, y));

Then you should do the same thing with the footer and remember to add topAbsoluteLayout to the Childeren in the StackLayout.

I hope this helps you out
