Monodroid DrawerLayout

Question

I am not able to use DrawerLayout in my project. In my android sdk manager, I have upgraded the "Android SDK platform-tools" to the latest revision (Rev. 22.3) and the "Android SDK Built-tools ( Rev. 19.0.1 ) as suggested in this post

https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/4440/create-a-drawer-layout

Still I cannot find this component (DrawerLayout). Visual studio suggests to generate this class since it cannot find it in any referenced library. I have referenced Mono.Android.Support.v4. ( I am also using ActionBarSherlock libraries to target api levels <= 2.3). Any help as to what i am doind wrong, where to investigate or what direction to take will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

I would suggest upgrading your Xamarin.Android version and your current dlls to the new "Xamarin" versions.

EX:

<Reference Include="Xamarin.Android.Support.v4">
  <HintPath>Components\xamandroidsupportv7appcompat-7.18.0\lib\android\Xamarin.Android.Support.v4.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

You can add these by right-clicking the components folder and searching for support libraries.

Here's v4: https://components.xamarin.com/view/xamandroidsupportv4-18
