Xamarin.Forms MissingMethodException: 'Android.Support.V4.Widget.DrawerLayout.AddDrawerListener' not found

Question

I have followed everything from the following link: https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/user-interface/navigation/master-detail-page/ The code I wrote can be found here: http://github.com/foyzulkarim/XamarinFormsDrawer I successfully deployed the same project in my Windows 10 Local machine using UWP project, but whenever I want to deploy in Emulator, or in my device, it is throwing the following exception.

System.MissingMethodException: Method 'Android.Support.V4.Widget.DrawerLayout.AddDrawerListener' not found.

Answer 1

The solution is, I needed to update the package, only the Xamarin.Forms package. Like the below image.

After update, the packages.config file should be like below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>
  <package id="Xamarin.Android.Support.Animated.Vector.Drawable" version="23.3.0" targetFramework="monoandroid60" />
  <package id="Xamarin.Android.Support.Design" version="23.3.0" targetFramework="monoandroid60" />
  <package id="Xamarin.Android.Support.v4" version="23.3.0" targetFramework="monoandroid60" />
  <package id="Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat" version="23.3.0" targetFramework="monoandroid60" />
  <package id="Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.CardView" version="23.3.0" targetFramework="monoandroid60" />
  <package id="Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.MediaRouter" version="23.3.0" targetFramework="monoandroid60" />
  <package id="Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.RecyclerView" version="23.3.0" targetFramework="monoandroid60" />
  <package id="Xamarin.Android.Support.Vector.Drawable" version="23.3.0" targetFramework="monoandroid60" />
  <package id="Xamarin.Forms" version="2.3.2.127" targetFramework="monoandroid60" />
</packages>

And ignore the rest of the packages like below.
