I am using a picker in Xamarin forms and it looks like a entry box on the page until you tap it and it choices popup. I want to visually tell the user that this is drop down which they can select from. Can I do it using styling? So body suggested using Effects. How do I achieve this?

This shows what the picker will render as across platforms. As you can see it does not give you an indication of a dropdown. From what I understand you would have to implement a custom renderer for each platform to add any kind of drop down arrow.
Unfortunately xamarin forms picker has simple features. I think try Custom renderer because if you want custom style or effect then use custom renderer and check below link.

I've created my own android drop down list (spinner). Its custom made by using a popupWindow(...). Now i would like to style it accordingly. I'd like to apply the same styles that a spinner drop down has or even another kind of drop down. Im especially in need of shadow effects and drop shadows that show up after the native spinner is rendered.
Anyone know of a style i can apply to get this without building my own drop shadow which might not be identical to the native set ?
found one that works the way i want. Seems it puts a drop shadow similar to an alert dialog:
android:background="#android:drawable/dialog_holo_light_frame"
How to show such kind of hints or instructions for the user, and after tap on this the hints it will be invisible.
Go for the SuperToolTips which is open source and creates a Custom tooltips for the views as per your needs.

This is Quick Action 3d. Checkout source and example from here :)
This is not exactly a custom dialog. But, yes it is still a customized view. And it is more or less called Quick Action Dialog in android. I would suggest you to follow the tutorials below for generating an exactly same popover (or even better) with Android. Check the screenshot also.

Here is the link for the custom design of PopupWindow. android.widget.PopupWindow can be used to display an arbitrary view. The popup windows is a floating container that appears on top of the current activity. Also here is link for some popWindow usage
Please check here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/spinner.html, i think you want this:

Could anyone tell me either what this widget is or how it could be recreated? I'm having to port over a iPhone app, and my boss wants me to make it look as similar as possible, but while using android controls. Here is a picture of it in Android:

Thanks!
It is not a standard thing, but for this purpose, there is a: QuickAction dialog.
this can be done with a PopupWindow (it can also be shown as dropdown) where the background is a custom nine-patch file and the content is a listview (or any other view that fits your needs).
I'm sure that GreenDroid Library can do this but I don't know the name of the class to use
