Answer 1

The namespace in your code and the namespace in solution explorer should be same.

Answer 2

This might happen when you add a new file and Visual studio sets it to the wrong build Action. I know this has happened me multiple times and can spend ages trying to figure out what going on. If you right click the file and see the Build action. this should be set to Android Resource. Hope it helps

in AndroidManifest.xml make sure that no names depending on other resources which no longer exist for Ex:

android:label="@string/app_name" so we have to go to our resources/string.xml

<resources>
  <string name="app_id">ssss</string>  
</resources>
