Xamarin Android conflicting with MvvmCross

Question

Im trying to create a Fragment and add it to a Activity using the FragmentManager .

The problem is i get a compile error. It appears that MvxFragment inherits from Android.Support.V4.App.Fragment and MvxFragmentActivity inherits from Android.Support.V4.App.FragmentActivity that in turns inherits from Android.App.FragmentActivity

This means the FragmentManager expects a Android.App.Fragment but MvvmCross uses Android.Support.V4.App.Fragment

How do i get around this?

Answer 1

MvvmCross has support for both Fragment and V4.Fragment . To use the first you should only install the MvvmCross.Droid.FullFragging . When using V4 you should install the MvvmCross.Droid.Support.V7.Fragging and 'MvvmCross.Droid.V7.AppCompat'.

As base for your activity you could use MvxAppCompatActivity or the MvxCachingFragmentActivity .
