I am trying to create a simple app in Xamarin Android with Xamarin Forms using Visual Studio, however I keep getting this error everytime I try to build. I have double checked my references which should contain the Portable project, as well as made sure I have the latest version of Xamarin.Forms. What could I still be missing that would give this error?
using System;
using Android.App;
using Android.Content;
using Android.Content.PM;
using Android.Runtime;
using Android.Views;
using Android.Widget;
using Android.OS;
using App2;
using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android;
namespace App2.Droid
{
[Activity(Label = "App2", Icon = "@drawable/icon", MainLauncher = true,
ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation)]
public class MainActivity :
global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsApplicationActivity // superclass new in 1.3
{
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, bundle);
LoadApplication(new App()); // method is new in 1.3
}
}
}
Found the source of the error! If anyone else is struggling, try updating Xamarin.Forms using NuGet Packages for Solution. I was only using the Package Manager Console which was not giving me the latest version.
