Xamarin Android: What is the equivalent code from Java to C#: resource.getConfiguration().getLayoutDirection() == View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL;

Question

I'm trying to get the layout direction in Xamarin Android from this java code:

resource.getConfiguration().getLayoutDirection() == View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL;

I tried to make this code:

Android.Util.LayoutDirection.Rtl == Android.Views.LayoutDirection.Rtl;

But it doesn't Work. I get the error:
