Hello! I change and save the files *.axml, but designer crashed with error. I reinstalled Visual Studio, SDK Ansroid, Xamarin, Windows 10, but does not work. My System absolutely clean.

My system: Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015 professional (Update3), Xamarin version 4.2.0.680, Android SDK Tools version 25.2.2, SDK Platform Android 6.0, 5.0.1, 4.42, JDK 1.8

This may be an issue of the latest Xamarin Android Designer needing the JDK 8 64 bit. Please see the release notes here: https://developer.xamarin.com/releases/android/xamarin.android_7/xamarin.android_7.0/

Relevant text:

Note: Xamarin.Android 7.0 requires JDK 1.8 to use the Android Nougat (API 24) APIs. You can continue to use earlier versions of the JDK if targeting earlier Android API levels:

JDK 1.8 - up to API 24+

JDK 1.7 - up to API 23

JDK 1.6 - up to API 20

Additionally, a 64-bit version of the JDK is required to use custom controls in the Android designer.

The simplest option is to install the 64-bit version of JDK 1.8 since it is backwards compatible with all of the previous API levels and supports the new Android designer features.

(One unfortunate complication with JDK 1.8 is that is not compatible with the outdated version of Proguard that is included in the Android SDK. Currently this will cause an error "Unsupported class version number [52.0]" when attempting to use the Proguard or Multidex features in Xamarin.Android. See 44187.)
