Type: Bug Report

Chart: [Android] Project could not be compiled when the latest version of Xamarin.Google.Android.Material is referenced

When building against XF5 and after migrating a project you can get the following error:-

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error failed linking file resources. App1.Android
Error '5dp' is incompatible with attribute verticalOffset (attr) float [weak]. App1.Android
Error '10dp' is incompatible with attribute horizontalOffset (attr) float [weak]. App1.Android

It appears to be a conflict between

<PackageReferenceInclude="Xamarin.Google.Android.Material"Version="1.2.1.1" />

and Telerik assemblies.

If a dummy app is built with that Nuget it all works fine until the Nuget

is added.

So you can have one or the other but not both.

Please see this GitHub thread where its discussed more and a sample app is posted.

(I am user Gmotagi in it)

Hi Nasiruddin,

If I understand correctly you don't want to update the Telerik version but you want to use a fix introduced in Telerik 2021 version in the Telerik version you have 2019 - I am afraid this scenario cannot be achieved.

Let me explain in details:

This bug report is logged on 22 Jan 2021, and a fix for it is provided on 17 Feb 2021. All Telerik versions above 2021.1.216 (16/2/2021) contain the fix.

Based on the information from the NuGet server packages - Xamarin.Forms 5.0 official version is released on Tuesday, January 5, 2021 (1/5/2021). So when the Telerik 2019 version has been released there wasn't a Xamarin.Forms 5.0 version. New versions brings new changes, improvements, etc. This is a period of 2 years.

Telerik UI for Xamarin has major and minor releases where the new features and improvements are included.

The option you have is to update the app to the latest version of Xamarin.Forms and Telerik UI for Xamarin in order to use the latest features and improvements.

I have reviewed the account holder and there isn't an active license. If you want to use the latest features and improvements from Telerik UI for Xamarin you will need a license. Our sales team sent an email (they used the email linked to the account) and there isn't a response. If you have any additional question please contact the sales team.

I hope this information answers your question.

Regards,
Didi

Hello Nasiruddin,

I have reviewed the case and the issue is reported 2021 year. The fix is available from lib 2021.1.216 and all version above this contain the fix.

As you do not see the Telerik versions above 2019, your license is expired in 2019 (a license gives you support for 1 year -minimum 6 releases: 3 major & 3 minor). If you want a new version, such as a new release in 2021 or 2022, you need to renew your license.

These are the steps for upgrading the Telerik license:

1. Go to https://www.telerik.com/account/support-center
2. Select "Contact Us" and then select "Licensing support"
3. Explain that you need to upgrade to 2022

I will forward your request to the appropriate team. If you want to renew your license they will assist further.

Didi

Hi Philip,

I am writing to let you know that we will fix on our side the compile-time errors 5dp and 10dp. The item status is "In Development". If passing testing, the fix will be included in the next minor release/Service Pack.

The item status will be updated accordingly.

Hi Philip,

We have identified the problem, it is a conflict of object types in the Xamarin.Google.Android.Material package against external definitions.

The error with the 5dp and 10 dp occurs because the native Telerik android Chart control has the following attributes:


     <attr name="horizontalOffset" format="float" />
     <attr name="verticalOffset" format="float" />

one of the attributes being used in the latest version of Xamarin.Google.Android.Material (notice the 5dp and 10dp string values):

<badge xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    app:maxCharacterCount="2"
    app:horizontalOffset="10dp"
    app:verticalOffset="5dp"/>

Workaround:

downgrade the Xamarin.Android.Material version to 1.1.0.5 version. It seems the issue happens with 1.2.1.1 version of Xamarin.Android.Material.

Another solution if you want to use version 1.2.1.1 of Xamarin.Android.Material, is to not use the complete Telerik UI for Xamarin NuGet because it refers the Chart dll. -> So you can install the separate nuget packages exclude the NuGet for the chart control.

Didi
