Xamarin Android - How to Create a Really Simple Android App

This is part of a Xamarin course that I created to turn you into a rockstar developer! Find out more here:

This tutorial takes you through the simple steps of creating your very first Android app in Xamarin. It assumes you know very little about object oriented programming (C#).

If this has helped you then please thumbs up it.

A. P. I. Not "appy." Means Application Programming Interface

The resources screen is there, but the main in layout is not, and it´s not in the .cs file either... Seems like this tutorial, is outdated.

When I tried open the Main.axml the message below appears:
"The installed Android SDK is too old. Version 24.3 or newer is required. Please update to latest version."
But my version is the latest!!!
What can I do?

I'm really struggeling what project to open to create mobile apps.

Because I can choose in Visual studio for creating an android app, creating an IOS app and crossplatform app. So what would be the difference in those 3? Because if I select "android app" it will automatically use xamarin, but isn't xamarin for cross-platform apps?

I hope you guys can help me out with this one !

Great tutorial. If I wanted the button to go back to grey and then loop round the colors on each click what would I type in the code to do that?
