Using the controls

Add XForms.Toolkit.Controls reference to your projects , main pcl, ios, android, and wp.

Xaml :

Reference the assembly namespace

 xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:XForms.Toolkit.Controls;assembly=XForms.Toolkit"

Render your control:

 <controls:ImageButton Text="Twitter" BackgroundColor="#01abdf" TextColor="#ffffff" HeightRequest="75" WidthRequest="175" Image="icon_twitter" Orientation="ImageToLeft"  ImageHeightRequest="50" ImageWidthRequest="50" />

Or from your codebehind:

var button = new ImageButton() {
			ImageHeightRequest = 50,
			ImageWidthRequest = 50,
			Orientation= Orientation.ImageToLeft",
			Image = "icon_twitter"
		};
stacker.Children.Add (button);

Using the Services

TextToSpeechService

DependencyService.Get<ITextToSpeechService>().Speak(TextToSpeak);

Device

     var device = Resolver.Resolve<IDevice>();
     device.Display; //display information
     device.Battery; //battery information

PhoneService

     var device = Resolver.Resolve<IDevice>();
     // not all devices have phone service, f.e. iPod and Android tablets
     // so we need to check if phone service is available
     if (device.PhoneService != null)
     {
         device.PhoneService.DialNumber("+1 (855) 926-2746");
     }
