Missing / Not found Android.App namespace on Maui

Question

I'm trying to migrate my Xamarin project to Maui and I got stuck on finding the equivalent namespace to Android.App.Application.Context on Maui project. The DatabaseHelper class has the following path: MyProject -> Platforms -> Android -> Helpers.

Does anyone know what is the equivalent namespace to Android.App.Application.Context on Maui?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try changing your namespace to another thing that doesn't include Android . Because it's trying to find the class inside your namespace instead of the correct one. So I'd advise you to use Droid instead of Android in your namespace, ie AAT.Platforms.Droid.Helpers . HIH

Answer 2

The error message is (indirectly) telling you what is wrong:

The type or namespace name 'App' does not exist in the namespace 'AAT.Platforms.Android'.

This is happening because you are in namespace AAT.Platforms.Android.Helpers , which means that Android is assumed to mean AAT.Platforms.Android .

Here are two ways to access Android.App.Application.Context in this situation:

• global::Android.App.Application.Context OR

• using AndroidApp = Android.App.Application;
AndroidApp.Context
