Xamarin.Android class library missing when create project Visual Studio 2019

Question

I am trying to build a Xamarin native android class library in C# to make some of my customized android widgets available across projects. I was able to do it with VS 2017 like below.

But I was not able to find this kind of project when creating in VS 2019. See the picture below. I can only create Xamarin.Android app but not class libraries.

When I really tried I could even find what I wanted in F#, as shown below. But I don't know F#. I didn't even remember choosing F# when installing VS 2019.

I have to move to VS2019 because my project that refereces ScandIt library cannot compile in VS 2017. But I ran into this problem. I suppose I could create that class library project in VS2017 and then work on it in VS2019 but that feels frustrating. Can anyone tell me what I am missing?

I'm using VS2019 16.9.3 in Windows 10.

Edit: Found another guy with similar problem (he can't find binding library). Not sure if the same patch applies to me. Will just have to wait.

Answer 1

The issue is fixed with Update 16.9.4

Added back missing Xamarin templates (iOS/Android Class Library, iOS/Android Bindings Library, Android Wear, Xamarin.UITest) in the New Project dialog. These templates were hidden by mistake.

Answer 2

Not an answer, just want to show you that I can find the library un my VS19.

The simple thing is, I just search for library & it was present over there, after adding the same filters as shown by you, the Library was on the top.
