Hi all,

Years ago I wrote a few android apps, and I've decided to get back in and try it with Xamarin. After going back and forth on ideas, I decided to give the xamarin forms a whirl. From the defaults I generated a forms app with the following:

Xamarin.Forms.Droid
Xamarin.Forms.UWP
Xamarin.Forms.PCL
(DELETED iOS)

Now from my understanding, I created an additional Xamarin.Forms.Droid.UITest project using XUnit (Note: I've tried the default of NUnit too)

I've got a mix of styles (from the PCL) and theme (from Droid).

Recently I asked a question over trying to get my theme recognized within the android test project: Unit testing a Xamarin Forms Android specific code project

I'm not running into a conflict that shows up within xunit / nunit as the testing strategy. I feel like it's because the FormsAppCompatActivity with an older activity type, but I'm new to Xamarin and am unsure on how to approach this.

I get a lot of these type of errors:

Attribute layout_anchorGravity already defined with incompatible format.

The full list of the similar Attribute errors is:

• fabSize
• tabMode
• expandedTitleGravity
• layout_scollFlags
• layout_collapseMode
• collapsedTitleGravity
• tabGravity
• showDividers
• displayOptions
• showAsActions
• actionBarSize

here is the basic code... At this point, I got a simple test of forcing it to be false to know it works.

//Within the Android Forms project, I have this inheritance:
public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsAppCompatActivity {
    // typical code
}

//within the Android UITest project
public class MainActivity : Xunit.Runners.UI.RunnerActivity {
    // tests can be inside the main assembly
    AddTestAssembly(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

    AddExecutionAssembly(typeof(ExtensibilityPointFactory).Assembly);
    // or in any reference assemblies           

    //AddTestAssembly(typeof(PortableTests).Assembly);
    // or in any assembly that you load (since JIT is available)

#if false
    // you can use the default or set your own custom writer (e.g. save to web site and tweet it ;-)
    Writer = new TcpTextWriter ("10.0.1.2", 16384);
    // start running the test suites as soon as the application is loaded
    AutoStart = true;
    // crash the application (to ensure it's ended) and return to springboard
    TerminateAfterExecution = true;
#endif
    // you cannot add more assemblies once calling base
    base.OnCreate(bundle);
 }

Any help would be much appreciated,
Kelly
