The TabbedPage looks differently between iOS/android.

Is it possible to let the TabbedPage display tabs and icons on the bottom of screen when the app running in android, just like in iOS?

    They are different by design. The android design guidelines are different from the iOS guidelines. It is not the normal way that users are accustomed to. You probably want to reconsider if you want to really do this. But if you really want to do this, you should make a custom renderer and do something like this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/23150258/5852062 – Marc Bruins May 26 '16 at 07:39
  • @iMarcB Thanks for your comment, the link points to android native code and I wonder if there is a solution using Xamarin.Forms . – Smartkid May 26 '16 at 13:06
  • There is as i mentioned in my previous comment. You should use a custom renderer: https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/custom-renderer/ and then inflate your custom designed layout(like the android one in the blog post) in that custom renderer. – Marc Bruins May 26 '16 at 13:50
  • backing @marc here. not possible without customer renderer or some such. in which case you need to write a lot of code yourself. – Joe Healy Apr 10 '17 at 22:06

To accomplish this you would have to write your own custom Renderer link

However the link below is an implementation that allows you android to have you tabs look like iOS

  • Maybe I should be putting this link as a comment but I hate finding questions with no answers. Just because the only answer is a link to helpful materials. – SatanEnglish Nov 07 '17 at 02:07
