Include tag is giving exception at run time in Xamarin .axml layout

Question

I am trying to include/reuse a layout (.axml) in other layout (.axml) but everything seems good at compile time. at run time it's generating an exception as follows:

Unhandled Exception:

Android.Views.InflateException: Binary XML file line #1: You must specify a layout in the include tag: <include layout="@layout/layoutID" /> occurred

Layout having include tag as follows:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:weightSum="100"
    android:minWidth="25px"
    android:minHeight="25px"
    android:background="@android:color/background_light">
    <include
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout="@layout/header_partial"
        android:id="@+id/layoutHeaderPartial" />
        <!-- other controls -->
 </LinearLayout>

Partial/reusable layout code as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  </LinearLayout>
  <LinearLayout

    <TextView

        android:textColor="@color/year"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="right"
        android:textSize="10sp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginRight="10dp"

  </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Everything seems fine at compile time and I can see designer view is working well, but at run time I don't know what's wrong.

The problem is that you include android prefix android:layout="@layout/header_partial" but it should be without it like: include layout="@layout/header_partial".
