Android App Compile Not Generating Package Resources

When attempting to compile my Xamarin.Android app I get the compile error:

Same annoying problem with me! But I found a solution: read carefully this article: https://gxconsultancy.wordpress.com/2016/04/04/to-use-xamarin-or-not-to-us-xamarin/

In short:

• Make sure you have JDK 32bits version 8 at least - same for the JRE, included in the JDK installation kit from Oracle;

• Set your project for using the Xamarin debugger (right-click your project, hit Properties / Android Options / Packaging / Debugger);

• And now the most weird: delete the app/Resources/drawable folder; have a working Xamarin project and copy its "drawable" folders to the erratic project (usually there are several subfolders, like drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi and so fort).

• Rebuild your Android project.
