Unable to use import androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar into a java file when using AndroidJavaSource #8191
Description
Android application type
.NET Android (net7.0-android, etc.)
Affected platform version
VS 2022 Version 17.6.5
Description
In my Android .NET 7 app, I have a java file where I'm trying to import Toolbar from androidx.appcompat.widget:
package androidapp5;
import androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar;
But it gives the following compilation error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error JAVAC0000 error: package androidx.appcompat.widget does not exist
import androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar;
This is the csproj:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>net7.0-android</TargetFramework>
<SupportedOSPlatformVersion>21</SupportedOSPlatformVersion>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<Nullable>enable</Nullable>
<ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
<ApplicationId>com.companyname.AndroidApp5</ApplicationId>
<ApplicationVersion>1</ApplicationVersion>
<ApplicationDisplayVersion>1.0</ApplicationDisplayVersion>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="Xamarin.AndroidX.AppCompat" Version="1.6.1.3" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>
I also tried to manually add the following in the csproj but it didn't make any difference:
<ItemGroup>
<AndroidJavaSource Include="Interop.java" />
</ItemGroup>
Note that when using the Toolbar class in C# code, it compiles OK:
using Toolbar = AndroidX.AppCompat.Widget.Toolbar;
namespace AndroidApp5
{
[Activity(Label = "@string/app_name", MainLauncher = true)]
public class MainActivity : Activity
{
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle? savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar;
}
}
}
Steps to Reproduce
Just create a Android .NET 7 app, add a file called Interop.java like above.
Here's the sample:
