GOAL: To achieve a waterfall collection view in xamarin forms.
Tried: I've achieved this in android using a custom renderer (staggered layout). Unfortunately, ios didn't provide a layout like this.

I'm looking for some help in order to implement a view on xamarin forms. I want to now a good practice / solution in order to have this view on Windows (Desktop):
And on Android or iOS I would like to have View 1 first, and if I click on 'Movies', then navigate to View 2.
How should I do it? create two views? If creating only one view, can I do anything similar of what I want? Thanks.
you can use Master-Detail Page to implement such an behaviour.
Here is the link for the reference :-
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/navigation/master-detail-page
You can set the MasterBehavior Property to Split Or SplitOnLandscape or SplitOnPortrait.
I already start using mvvmcross and i want to learn how to use a master/detail navigation. I can't find MvxMasterDetailPage described in this solution.
I have spent two days trying to start a master/detail navigation and nothing. I wouold like to do it with Xamarin Forms; i don't want to create any other presenter class but use the MvxFormsDroidMasterDetailPagePresenter for android. I had tried create a MvxFormsDroidMasterDetailPagePresenter in setup and also use MvxMasterDetailViewModel and nothing work.
Can some one please explain me or guide me to others options. Thanks.
I'm new to Xamarin and I'm still learning and developing a cross platform app. I've found many tutorials and answers here on creating a Xamarin Forms Navigation menu using Master-Detail page. I've created one too. But I'm looking for alternatives ways to create a navigation menu without using master-detail page.
So, has anyone experimented or know how to create a navigation page without using Master-Detail page.
You could use the SlideOverKit. Its free from Xam Consulting.

Is it possible to implement dragging and dropping an element in a Xamarin Forms project? I thought this would be simple but I cant seem to find anything online about it.
Pretty light on samples for it actually. Here's a Xamarin forms list view (not by me) with dnd to get you started.

I know that there are some games created with MonoGame out there. I wonder if its possible to create a Xamarin.Forms app which has some games in it. More specifically, is it possible to start an OpenGL game when the user taps a Xamarin.Forms button for example? This is possible in native iOS games so it should be possible in Xamarin but I couldn't find any info about it.
I don't know why this question is downvoted.
In Xamarin.Forms you can use OpenGLView which you can use as any other Forms view (https://developer.xamarin.com/api/type/Xamarin.Forms.OpenGLView/). Please note that it only works on iOS and Android.
Mixing Forms and Native (https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-forms-samples/tree/master/Forms2Native). With this approach you can have native games.
