How to solve this error? - 'Resource.Layout' does not contain a definition for axml file

Am new to Xamarin and is currently building a very simple app using the tutorial from Youtube. Am just in a middle of the video when I got this error even tho I carefully followed all instructions. And even the instructor in the video was able to run his app successfully

Here's the code where I'm getting the error: 

var view = inflater.Inflate(Resource.Layout.SignUp, container, false);

I had a lot of "XXX" does not contain "XXX" errors like this after a git reverse operation. Very annoying.

I tried all the solutions I could find, all without luck. Finally I magically fixed it by going to the Android project properties, Android Options, then unchecked "Use Fast Deployment (debug mode only)". I then built the project and it worked. Then I went back and checked that option so it was back to normal, and everything is fine.

In my case my Main file was configured in the Build Action as AndroidResourceAnalysisConfig and then change property to AndroidResource then Build my project and it works.

In Xamarin.Android this problem can be resolved by saving other axml/xml file. Many times cleaning solution, deleting bins/obj doesn't working for me.

Resource.designer.cs was excluded from project. Solved by including back.

In my Resource.Layout.toolbar, Resource was ambiguous between Android.Resource and Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.Resource. Instead the one that works for me is [Project name].Droid.Resource. Clean, deleted bin/debug and now it's fine

For me it is caused by namespace changes. After I corrected the namespace in project properties, then I can build again

I just deleted my newly created axml file, rebuild, add it again, and this time, clean and rebuild.

Everytime I added a new axml file, I clean and rebuild. That's all, thank you :).

Actually this problem occurs when your ResourceDesigner.cs file has not yet mapped the file that you added to your resource directory. The easiest way i would suggest to handle this situation is you comment the code you are trying to write and clean build your project and it will work like a charm. Good luck!
