Xamarin.Forms Consume Rest Service
<p>I'm new to Xamarin and developing native apps in general (I have made html5 apps in the past).
I have started on a Xamarin.Forms project and I'm trying to contact a REST like API (need to GET an URL which will return a json array).</p>

<p>Normally from C# I would use RestSharp and perform this call using the RestClient.
I'm not having any luck installing that package from Xamarin Studio though, but I have got the Microsoft HTTP Libraries installed.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure this is a very trivial task to perform, I just haven't been able to adapt the samples I have found online to work for me.</p>

<p>Anyone who could post how this is done please (remember I'm new to this so don't expect me to understand everything that is different from say a normal console app)?</p>
