Xamarin.Forms Page with a AbsoluteLayout at the top and CarouselPage below

Question

I'm just starting with Xamarin, and would like to get the following layout, but can't seem to implement it:

I would like to keep the top menu bar (Not a toolbar or navigationbar) static at all times, so that it won't move when the CarouselPage changes navigation. I like the CarouselPage for its builtin swiping and navigation properties. It would be like the NavigationPage, only I would like to controll the whole bar on top, without any restrictions to the content (You can only add a button, right?)

Can anyone give me some advice on how to get this working?

Answer 1

CarouselPage is a Page, which basically can't be part of a Layout but only a top-level element.
