What is it you are trying to do, exactly?
As I answered in the issue you link, all you need to do is add the Xamarin.Forms NuGet package to an Android workbook, and an activity is set up for you.
Here's a simple example that should work fine in Workbooks 1.3 Alpha 1 (if you have 1.2, it might work, or you can create a similar workbook yourself).

I just discovered a bug in 1.3 Alpha 1 that prevents direct use of any types defined in Mono.Android.dll on Windows.
If you have any Android-specific code to write, and you are on Windows, you should stick with 1.2.2. Mac is fine.
@SandyArmstrong Great, exactly what I need:
Using the Xamarin Workbook for Xamarin Forms UI/Layout concept snippets using Android Emulator
using either codes or XAML (see below)
