Unhandled Exception:
Android.Views.InflateException: Binary XML file line #1: Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
But I already use the AppCompat theme:
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
Layout for Main Activity:
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:local="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android:id="@+id/main_frame"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/navigation_frame"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left|start" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Also I found post who saied I have to set the windowActionBar and windowNoTitle Tags, what I already did.
The whole code is based on the sample in the mvvm cross repo.
Funny enough I found that the error started appearing when I updated to the new version of the support.design package. is there anything I can do to avoid this?
I found the issue.. I haven't added the MvvmCross.Droid.Support.Design Nuget Package...
https://www.nuget.org/packages/MvvmCross.Droid.Support.Design/
After I added it, cleaned the solution and restarted VS it works..
