Question

I’m following the spinner from monodroid tutorial. But encountered problem on the resource.

It cannot lookup the SimpleSpinnerItem & SimpleSpinnerDropDownItem on VS 2010.
Am I missing something?

Edit: Create a partial class to register android runtime as per jonp

public partial class Resource
{
    public partial class Layout
    {
        [Register("simple_spinner_dropdown_item")]
        public const int SimpleSpinnerDropDownItem = 17367049;
        [Register("simple_spinner_item")]
        public const int SimpleSpinnerItem = 17367048;
    }
}

Edit 2: Tried the global resource

Edit 3: Conflict on my project namespace

I already identified why the const cannot be recognize. It’s because of my namespace projectname.Android, it’s being duplicated. When I changed it to projectname.AndroidMobile the global resource is there.

See the conflict below.

Also, to avoid the conflict just use the global:: as per jonp

You need to qualify the class, as there are two Resource types: one local to your project (Your.Namespace.Resource, located in Resource.designer.cs), and global::Android.Resource. You need to use global::Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleSpinnerItem.
