Adding a preferences fragment in my xamarin/visualstudio project

Question

Very new in android programming... I've created a simple priject just to learn. Trying to add a preferences screen following this guide : When I declare my Preferences class inside the namespace as follows:

 public class MySettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment
    {

        @Override
        public void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // Load the preferences from an XML resource
        AddPreferencesFromResource(Resource.Xml.preferences);
    }

I get errors such as "extends" cannot be found and many other saying it is not the right context where to write it what I am missing?

Answer 1

It seems that you are mixing Java and C# syntax, in C# you use a colon instead of the word 'extends' to inherit a class, and the 'override' modifier is used instead of '@Override'

Your code would end up looking like this

 public class MySettingsFragment : PreferenceFragment
 {


    public override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // Load the preferences from an XML resource
        AddPreferencesFromResource(Resource.Xml.preferences);
    }
}
