I have a simple layout as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/widget30"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@color/translucent_red"
android:orientation="vertical"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
My colors.xml file is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<color name="opaque_red">#f00</color>
<color name="translucent_red">#80ff0000</color>
</resources>
When I compile in VS2010 I get an error "System.InvalidOperationException: Command failed...." I have tried to place the colors.xml in res/values and res/color but I still get the error. If I reference the color directly like:
android:background="#80ff0000"
everything works fine.
Does anyone know if the colors.xml is supported by MonoDroid and if so why I'm getting this error?
Thanks for the help!
Figured it out, the Build Action for colors.xml was set to Content instead of AndroidResource !
