Xamarin Andorid Designer not updating shared style changes in Style.xml?

Emil Alipiev 276

I am working a WearOs project with Xamarin.Native and when use share styles in Styles.xml, everytime I make changes they arent recognized by the xamarin Andorid designer. Newly created styles are also highlighted as cannot be found. Build, Rebuild doesnt help. Only solution is restarting the VS19 or VS22. Is there something I am missing?

Firstly, please share your custom style code and layout that I can reproduce this issue. I added a android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatButton following style in the styles.xml. Save it, Android designer could update style changes immediately. My visual studio version is 17.0.4

<style name="ButtonColor" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored"> <item name="colorButtonNormal">@color/yourcolor</item> <item name="android:colorButtonNormal">@color/yourcolor</item> <item name="android:textColor">@color/yourcolor</item> </style>

Then, when you added or edited the style, please save it, then, I create Please click the Tools->Options-> find Xamarin->choose the Android UI Designer, enable Enable accelerated rendering and Refresh layout preview on code changes selection. Then try to make a test.
