How can I change a <StackLayout> <Grid> screen to use <RelativeLayout>?

Viewed 611

I have this code that's currently a combination of and

I would like to move to a relative layout and have not seen so many examples of that. Would appreciate any suggestions on how this could be accomplished.

Some points about the XAML.

  • Either emptyGrid or phraseGrid appear on the screen
  • Either buttonGrid or tapGrid appear on the screen
  • The vertical center of the buttons and the tap label should be the same position. So that when the buttons are not showing a tap label appears at the same vertical buttons as the buttons.
  • The Frame appears inside a tabbed page

I realize this is a bit more than a simple question but I'm sure it would be of interest to others. As the answer might be quite involved I'll open up a 250 point bounty for this in a couple of days.
