Visual Studio 2015 - Xamarin - Android - Getting "resource.id does not contain a definition for xxx" when I try to do anything in the .cs file
I changed the text field "id" from "@+id/imageView1" to "1", saved, rebuilt and changed it back to "@+id/imageView1", it fixed it. I would like to add, this whole problem came from
- Adding a new activity and layout.
- Using preexisting code from another app that I had.
- Copying and pasting code from the original app to the new Activity and Layout.
All fairly common stuff, the real problem seemed always to be adding any new Activities and Layouts to a main Activity. It can get very convoluted and with no (known to me) logical way to run down a problem with Xamarin. Don't get me wrong compared to 10 years ago (the last mobile app I tried to write) Xamarin is heaven. Good coding folks, now if I can only figure out why Keyword "this" is error-ring on the added Activity.cs
For people who are still facing this issue, the default Build Action of the layout file would be set to TransformFile. Select the layout, go to the Layout Properties, and in the properties pane, Select AndroidResource as your Build Action. Clean build your project and it should work.
Just add namespace like that Android.Resource.Id - it's resolve for me
