    I get a warning "Undefined complexType 'java.lang.Object' is used as a base for complex type extension"

    Same problem here. Neither of suggested solution worked.

    Happens to me too, even VS 2015.

    • Navigate to root of your project
    • Delete the .vs folder (hidden folder)
    • Restart VS
    • Open solution

    Try and share your thoughts if that works.

    Try the reference: https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/troubleshooting/questions/enable-axml-intellisense/

    Can you verify if Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-Tools and Android SDK Build-Tools are updated to latest version as well?

    Must have done that, but may be give it a try.

    Doesn't work for me too and everything is up to date.

    Of course I tried that reference, many times infact and I do have the latest build tools.

    Hi All,

    I believe this is an issue with a recent bug in the xml parser. I believe it will be fixed in time for the 15.3 release.

    Thanks for the headsup. I don't want to be "that guy" but do you have an eta on that release? EG a week or 2 to a month?

    I have the same issue. In the past I fixed by doing what is described here: https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/comment/261778#Comment_261778
    But now, not even that works. I don't have any intellisense.

    Just use Xamarin Studio (not VS). I faced the same issue from time to time. It would work, suddenly it won't. I ended up using Xamarin Studio (and am still) and IntelliSense works perfectly if not even better.

    @Patyfatycake

    15.2 will release shortly. After that, will be 15.3 in June. You can estimate about a month between each release based on the VS history:

    So what U saying is that 15.3 is the solution?? What do we do until then??

    I can confirm that Xamarin 4.5.0.486 using Xamarin.Android SDK 7.3.1.2 seems to solve the XML intellisense issues. Please upgrade to this version and let me know if it works for you.

    @JonDouglas Does not work for me.

    @Faiz.7125 Please post your Version Information so I can confirm.
