I’ve been looking and searching similar issues that I found on my testing on Mono but can’t find anything.
PROBLEM:
My intellisense in visual studio or in Monodevelop doesn’t work. How to fix this?
I can still do the work and everything is working fine except for the issues I mentioned.
Can’t afford to type everything w/c consumes much of my time and prone of typo error.
Please help.
NOTE:
I’ve downloaded the latest installer found on Xamarin site w/c already has everything in one click (All the prerequisite and requirements are package in one)
then… uninstall and reinstall it individually but stil the annoying things persist.
I can’t help with any suggestions about why the install might not be working for you – sorry!
But it looks like Visual Studio is opening this as the normal text rather than XML or AXML.
For the XML editor, including auto-completion on the “android:” attributes, then can you choose “open with” from the file right-click menu in Solution Explorer – within this choose “XML (Text) Editor” – there is also an option to set this as default within that dialog.
For the Xamarin Visual designer – in which you’ll see the design surface but you won’t see XML intellisense – then you should be able to try “Mono for Android Designer” from that same “Open With”.
