Xamarin forms collection view show skeleton while data loading - xamarin.forms

Is it possible to show the skeleton of collection view items while data is loading?
Something like linkedin, when loading pages:
I've seen there exists some packages to make it, but I'm wondering if it's possible directly from Xamarin Forms.
CollectionView or any other layout would help me.

You can look the sample autocompletion into the TK.CustomMap repository.
TK.CustomMap is an override implementation of Xamarin.Forms.Maps.
Project:
https://github.com/TorbenK/TK.CustomMap

The autocompletion can be used with Google API for location (or other provider like OpenStreetMap).

Navigate to custompage with Freshmvvm

Im implementing Facebook login in an app, where I'm using FreshMvvm. The login is implemented using a PageRenderer in each platform combined with Xamarin.Auth component. The issue is how I shold navigate to to this new page. Previously using MvvmHelpers, I did a PushAsync. Doing the same with FreshMvvm where I also made an empty PageModel, I get a LoginPagePage as the result, which was not what it should be. So my question is, how should I navigate to my CustomPage? Can it be done with CoreMethods.xxxx?
Best regards
Solved by encapsulating the page inside its own navigationservice and replacing it when needed.

Issue trying to get a example Parsley app working

I'm getting started on a new project at I'm trying to get an Parsley example to work.
Here is the demo url: http://files.152.org/flex_examples/parsley/
View source is enabled
I have parsley registered in the app and can get the albums in the left column loaded. The part I'm stuck at is trying to get a message to PictureTile.as so images will load in the TileList.
Can anyone that has Parsley experience lend a hand?

iPad After drill down in Split View's Master View, Detail View will not load

completely new to coding other than html.
I have an iPad app based on the MultiDetailsView/SplitView sample in Xcode.
I have a master view that drills down and loads new detail views, both at the same time when needed.
But when I do drill down the lower views will not load their new detail views.
If I change the master 'RootViewController' in the Main nib to any of my other navigation views they will load their correct detail views.
I think it could be that my lower views are somehow not connected to the SplitViewController.
I have tried many things but I am just guessing.
Any help with this would be great, thanks!
You probably need to post some sample code to get help. But you can do what you want. You can push and pop views on either side from either side.

Looking for advice on the best way to show BIRT reports in Drupal

On a Drupal app, my goal is to display a page with a couple of CCK or taxonomy drop-down widgets, two Date Popup Calendar widgets and a "fake" submit button. The submit will use ajax to send the info to a PHP page that generates a BIRT report and returns the complete HTML back to the page, which I'll just inject into an empty div. I'd like to keep the controls on the page at all times and just use ajax to keep replacing the div containing my report as the user changes parameters and resubmits.
What's the best way to achieve this? I can handle a decent amount of PHP and JavaScript, but trying to leverage Drupal to create a page and display the controls is proving difficult to understand. Examples I've been reading are either too unrelated or too abstract to be helpful. Thanks!
No love from masses, but after a few more days of hammering on it, I've got BIRT 2.5 reports to play nicely in Drupal 6.16. You can read the whole story and see code samples here: I've completed integrating this with BIRT via a small custom module.
