XF Android project does not build after adding Xamarin.Forms.Visual.Material nuget

I have a Xamarin Forms project and now I'd like to improve it with the new Visual / Material features.
On IOS, it works like a charm.
On Android I have strange problems: after adding Xamarin.Forms.Visual.Material nuget I get weird error messages and my project does not build:

I use Visual Studio 2017 Professional on Windows, I don't use any prerelease nuget.
Xamarin.Forms version is 3.6.0.293080.
Minimum Android API level is 21, target is 28, and compiled with 28.
Xamarin Android support libraries version is 28.0.0.1.
I tried the usual tricks (delete bin, obj dir, restart Visual Studio, run it in admin mode, delete Xamarin app data...) but neither helped.
The same thing happens if I create a new project from schratch, and don't do anything with it, just add visual.material nuget to the Android project.
Do you have any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
I had the same issue a few days ago where I first had TargetFramework set to Android 8.1, installed same packages and later changed it to Android9 and installed a new package.
The Xamarin.Forms.Visual.Material requires Android 9 to be set in Android project options and you previously had 8.1 configured and installed nuget packages for Android 8.1.
If you still use old packages.config like me to add NuGet packages, make sure you always see same monodroid string in hint path in the csproj and don't mix 81 with 90 and always have monoandroid90.
<Reference Include="Xamarin.Forms.Visual.Material , Version=3.6.0.293080, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
<HintPath>..\..\packages\Xamarin.Forms.Material.3.6.0.293080\lib\monoandroid90\Xamarin.Forms.Material.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
After changing TargetFramework to 9, open Package Manager Console and run
Update-Package -Reinstall -IgnoreDependencies
to let VS update the packages.config and csproj.
I found this answer on github:
Migrating Package.json File to PackageReference to resolved problem.
1 - Click right on packages.config in Android Project
2 - Click on Migration Package.config to PackageReference
3 - Accept
4 - Run Project
Ref: https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/5828
I also updated references with Nuget, done a clean, removed obj and bin fonder, and then Build.

Can't build Visual Studio / Xamarin App

I am using Visual Studio 2015 and trying to build an Xamarin solution (Android and iOS app). I am getting the following errors that are resulting in a failed build:
C : error APT0000: \Dev\GYB\GYBMobile\GYBMobile\GYBMobile.Android\obj\Debug\lp\68\jl\res\values-v24\values-v24.xml:1: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Borderless.Colored'.
C : error APT0000: \Dev\GYB\GYBMobile\GYBMobile\GYBMobile.Android\obj\Debug\lp\68\jl\res\values-v24\values-v24.xml:1: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Colored'.
I cannot find any information on this. Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks!
I was able to get it working by installing SDK platform 24.

Library Project - Android Studio : Error: No resource found that matches the given name

Im trying to add a Library Project (https://github.com/inmite/android-styled-dialogs) to my Android Studio project.
However I get the following build errors because my build is not able to reference the values in the Android-styled-dialog LibraryProject
android-apt-compiler: [NavigationDrawer] /Users/Jase/Downloads/NavigationDrawer/res/values-v11/themes_apptheme.xml:23: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'DialogStyleLight'.
android-apt-compiler: [NavigationDrawer] /Users/Jase/Downloads/NavigationDrawer/res/values-v11/themes_apptheme.xml:30: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'buttonBackgroundColorNormal'.
android-apt-compiler: [NavigationDrawer] /Users/Jase/Downloads/NavigationDrawer/res/values-v11/themes_apptheme.xml:29: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'buttonSeparatorColor'.
....
I don't really know anything about Gradle but I feel that I possibly need to tell the build to reference Android-styled-dialog. I don't know I'm completely lost...
PS: When I created a new android studio project with the demo project for Android-Styled-Dialogs it created the following mavin file... which I don't have in my other project - https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8207108
I don't really know anything about Java build systems, please help

Running the android in-app billing example aplication

This will probably sound silly but I have no idea how to make the application work.
tutorial for in-app billing
Just like the tutorial says I downloaded the package, I found the files. The problem is there's no project file and I can't get it to work in eclipse.
Anyone used the example app?
I've used it successfully...what seems to be the problem? Once you download the files, bring the project into Eclipse by select "Newn Android Project", "Create project form existing source" and the "Finish." From there, follow the directions regarding changing the package name, etc...
As far as I can determine, the sample Dungeons in-app billing project that I downloaded via Android SDK Manager, does not even compile (this seems to have been fixed, see my comments later in this message..).
As a check, I ran a find command to search for one of the missing resources:
/cygdrive/k/android-sdk-windows/extras/google/play_billing $ find . -name '*.xml' -exec grep edit_payload_title {} \; -print
android:text="#string/edit_payload_title" />
./res/layout/edit_payload.xml
/cygdrive/k/android-sdk-windows/extras/google/play_billing $
As you can see, the resource #string_edit_payload_title is referenced once, but never defined in any of the xml files..

** UPDATE ** I just downloaded it again and it seems to be resolved. At least, it builds and deploys now.. And the string definitions seem to be in place now..
