How to show an Image on top of a tabbed view in Xamarin.Forms?

I am using Xamarin.Forms and trying to achieve the next layout:
I want to keep the native look and feel for each platform (i.e: iOS tabs will be shown in bottom.), I just want to add an extra image on top of the tabbed view. I have been looking around and can't find any one providing a way for this to work. I just want to make sure and ask if this is actually doable in Xamarin.Forms while maintaining native look and feel for all platforms?
Is not possible (using Xamarin Forms) to do this. TabbedPage is a Control that fills the entire display.
Here there is a interesting discussion about "TabView".
I think you can use some other controls to try to do the same thing. For example, buttons + CarouselView.
Otherwise on GitHub there are some guys that have tried to implement what you need.. TabView

How to add overlay text to camera screen in xamarin forms?

I would like to add an overlay to the camera.How can it be done in xamarin forms
The ultimate answer is always that you can write a custom renderer for your camera control and add the overlay using you platform native capabilities.
For a Xamarin.Forms solution that doesn't involve custom renderers it is important to know what camera control you are using to begin with.
If you are using the XLabs camera control you could inject your custom MediaPicker.cs directly after registering the service.
A customrenderer is the answer. You could easily use AVFoundation, see this blog post that got me going https://blog.xamarin.com/how-to-display-camera-ios-avfoundation/.
I did this by creating a custom control following the steps in this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/custom-renderer/view
It's very basic and you'll need to add more things to have a full usable camera, but it's a good start.
There is a discussion around the focus for that camera in here: Camera Using custom Camera Preview Renderer is not clear

Rubberband Effect on Image using ASP.Net

I am trying to watermark an Image and works perfect and now I need to have my customers much more convinient so that I am planning to add a feasibility to the image watermarker.So I need some help!
I want to have an adorner control or somethng like the rubberband effect which has 4 0r 6 corners so that they can enlarge the text with that.
I have seen one of the articles in codeproject which is implemented with WPF as shown below.But I need to implement with my normal ASP.Net application.So how do I start with it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
have a look here:
http://html5.litten.com/moving-shapes-on-the-html5-canvas-with-the-keyboard/
with pure HTML5 canvas and JavaScript you can move a shape using the keyboard.
it's a starting point then you can imagine to extend it to support mouse gestures like you explained.

Create a webbrowser in Flex?

Is it possible to create a webbrowser inside a Flex (not AIR!) application?
I want to display some links in a Flex application and when a user clicks the links, it should open a custom component with some sort of a webbrowsing component. Is it possible?
Check this out:
http://www.deitte.com/archives/2006/08/finally_updated.htm
has a great example
if that doesn't work for you, look at this:
http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/
Short answer - no. There are some simple html rendering capabilities built-in but that's probably not what you're looking for.
Long answer - it's possible inside browser, eg. using IFrame, or using AIR, which has a built in broswer. If having an exe file and not an AIR file is a problem, AIR 2.0 allows you to create native application installers. Check it at Adobe labs.
