I Solve this issue by:

1- deleting all the android virtual machines
2- not to put theme for the toolbar if the layout contains one and make theme global for all layouts.
3- install Xamarin components from nuget source.
4- do not install Android 6.0 N Preview.
5- Java jdk 1.7.0_71 is the most stable JDK with xamarin until now , so don't update java JDK.

some addition steps and recommendations :

6- make all your resources names are small case.
7- not to add '-' in any resource name.
lastly .. Keep your Android SDK updated.
