android material design issue

i am trying to use this library https://github.com/rudsonlive/NavigationDrawer-MaterialDesign
I can able to compile and run the code
the issue is ,there is big difference in the display quality
clearly we can notice the font is completely not matching.
please help me to resolve this.
You should use Android Design Support Library to achieve this.
It's quite easier and will surely fix your problem.
Check this official sample to learn how to use this:

Xamarin Forms Android Error Message Regarding Support Package and other packages

I am a complete newbie who has just about started android app. development using Xamarin Forms and VS2012. Only about 20-21 days of exposure I have got. I am trying to learn along the way through writing an imaginary practice app. But there are some errors I am getting. You can see them in the picture.
http://imagebin.ca/v/29PeHoLhwW1i
Can someone direct me what exactly it is saying and what I need to do in order to rectify them?Is there something wrong with the installation/environment or like some update? Or is it something else? What's with the "unzipping failed" message?
Some one kindly help me out here please. Facing great deal of difficulty in tackling this.
Many Thanks in advance.
As the error message says (see the third error message ), you need to install the "Android Support Repository" from the Android SDK manager.
The errors are telling you that Xamarin is looking for the support library, but that it cannot find the support library and thus the build failed.
#Tanis.7x and #Jason.
Just an update I want to post:
I went about reproducing this scenario: creating a new project, do some primary simple code, add 1,2 layouts et all. When I build the new project, these 9 errors don't appear. This is strange to me. Because: this is exactly what had happened to my main work also. These errors were not there. Something, somewhere happened along the line, due to which they started appearing suddenly; out of the blue. I remember, I had updated Xamarin version, also just added some packages like JSON.Net and it is only after that this error list appeared. Not before that, if I remember correctly. Which is weird to me. If you try to recreate by creating a brand new project these 9 errors won't appear. I tried recreating this twice; no errors.
Yes, I'm manually downloading the zip file. Hopefully this makes the compiler happy. I'll keep posted about the updates.
Thanks All!

Is it good to use a eclipse and sdk bundle over manual configured eclipse

I am a beginner in android. to work with android sdk i got a full package combined with eclipse and android sdk named "adt-bundle-windows-" . is it good to using this bundle or should i manually configure a new eclipse classic of Helios ? Because i am having some problem with the emulation and sdk mananger.
Basically i want to know is it better to use this bundle over manually configured eclipse?
advance thanks for your help.
The bundle should make your life easier- everything is configured correctly for you. It can be done manually if you really want to, but there's no promise the plugin will work with older versions.
here is a really good tutorial for you, with it you'll learn everything you want to know, there you have everything from start till end.... hope you like it! i was using it and it's perfect,

Unable to import android.support.v4.apps.NavUtils

After thoroughly searching here, I found the following question which exactly states the problem that I am facing.
Trouble importing android.support.v4 package
However, the issue in that case was the imported package was wrong. In my case the package is correct and yet I am facing the same issue.
I have already wasted couple of days trying to figure out the solution.
One thing that I would like to add is that, I am trying to learn the command line execution for the purposes of automation so I dont want to use eclipse for the same purpose.
Going by the link on the support page, they talk about adding it in eclipse but havent mentioned how to do it via command line
http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/support-library.html#SettingUp
My android manifest mentions minsdkversion = 4 and targetsdkversion = 17 and I have already copied the android-support-v4.jar file into my project's "libs" folder but everything that i have tried so far has been in vain.
I am running this on windows 7 with JDK 1.6
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Silly mistakes are common with beginners and I am no exception. The problem was an extra "s" in apps. It should be app in the package name. All I needed to do was to change the scope of debugging and move out from my code into the ANT script which showed me the problem.
Its amazing how putting the problem down in words gives you new avenues to dig which helped in my case. I think this is a good lesson for anybody attempting to start learning anything new.
I sincerely apologize to all those who attempted to find the problem. Hope you didn't spend a lot of time on this.
Thanks for reading though :)

Jigloo, Eclipse and Android

Im fairly new at programming and was wondering if the Jigloo gui builder plugin would work with android app developement. I have Eclipse setup with the android sdk plugin configured, after seeing what Jigloo can do and that you can see the source code after creating the gui iI figured this would be a helpful tool to use.
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me if it does work and how to configure it.
Thank you in advance
AFAIK, Jigloo has nothing to do with Android, sorry.
Android has its own GUI framework and doesn't use Swing/SWT (what Jigloo seems to be for), so I don't think you can use it to build Android GUIs. When you open a layout XML file in Eclipse and click the 'layout' tab, you can get a rough idea of what it will look like anyway.
You could check out DroidDraw if you want a drag and drop GUI builder, although I'm not sure how regularly updated it is.
