Question

Adding Additional Activity .cs and Layout axml Using Visual Studio 2015.

I\'m very new to Xamarin and Android

Answer 1

For people who are still facing this issue, the default Build Action of the layout file would be set to TransformFile. Select the layout, go to the Layout Properties, and in the properties pane, Select AndroidResource as your Build Action. Clean build your project and it should work.
