I need one content page with my app on screen one and one with summary data shown. I did a bit of research to get me going but nothing came up. So have somone have any ideas of the topic. If not i will post a sample app when I am done.

Android API level 26 supports multi-display by launching an Activity on a specific screen. See setLaunchDisplayId.

This is most likely not supported out of the box with Xamarin.Forms, as far as I know it is a single Activity App you create there.

iOS similarly has the concept of Windows, where a window shows a ViewController.

The easiest for you would probably be to avoid using Xamarin.Forms and use the native capabilities. Otherwise you'd have to wait for Xamarin.Forms to support such feature.
