Xamarin - code a simple overlay/layout

Question

I am coding a Xamarin application and have a question in regards to coding a simple overlay/layout.

I have a ViewPager fragment that is displaying a VideoView. I am wanting to code an overlay such that when the user clicks on the VideoView, an overlay is displayed. This overlay will have play, pause and a progress bar to display the videos progress.

Can someone point me in the right direction to code this? What classes should I research into? I am not sure of the exact terminology of what I am wanting to do, and as such have not found any android resources for this situation.

Thanks in advance.

Here's a snippet from one of my videoViews.

Also here's a link that's helpful: http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2012/08/24/lessons-learned-when-using-androids-mediaplayer-and-videoview/

  OnStart function{
        var videoPlayer = FindViewById<VideoView> (Resource.Id.video_player);
        var mediaController = new MediaController (this);
        mediaController.SetMediaPlayer (videoPlayer);
        videoPlayer.SetMediaController (mediaController);

        videoPlayer.SetOnPreparedListener (this);
        videoPlayer.Touch += (sender, e) => 
        {

            if (! (e.Event.Action == MotionEventActions.Down))
                return;
            if (!mediaController.IsShown)
                mediaController.Show ();
            else
                mediaController.Hide();
        };

    public void OnPrepared(MediaPlayer mp)
    {
        progress.Visibility = ViewStates.Gone;
        mediaController.Show ();
    }
