Building monodroid sample map applications

Question

I am using the latest download of map sample application 'MapsAndLoactionDemo' from Xamarin and in Visual Studio 2010 I get the following compile error(s):

Error   10
Activate(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object[]) in mono.android.TypeManager cannot be applied to (java.lang.String,java.lang.String,mapsandlocationdemo.MapWithOverlayActivity,java.lang.Object[])

mono.android.TypeManager.Activate ("MapsAndLocationDemo.MapWithOverlayActivity, MapsAndLocationDemo, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null", "", this, new java.lang.Object[] {  });
    D:\Projects\Android\MapsAndLocationDemo\MapsAndLocationDemo\obj\Debug\android\src\mapsandlocationdemo\MapWithOverlayActivity.java   25  28  MapsAndLocationDemo

What is wrong?

Adding the line where the compilation error actually happens might help! — theAlse, Jul 02 '12 at 14:18

You need to install the google api on your emulator
You can follow this: http://developer.xamarin.com/samples/MapsDemo/

Installing the Google APIs Android SDK add-on
The Google APIs require the "Google APIs" add-on library, which is provided for each API level. You need to download it for the API level you wish to target.

To install the Google APIs Android SDK add-on:

Launch the Android SDK manager: $ANDROID_SDK_PATH/tools/android

Within the Android SDK manager, click Available packages in the left-hand pane.

In the right-hand pane, navigate to the tree view node Third party Add-ons /Google Inc. add-ons (dl-ssl.google.com)

Select the check-box for e.g. "Google APIs by Google Inc., Android API 8, revision 2".

Click the Install Selected button in the lower right corner.

In the "Choose Packages to Install" dialog, select the Accept radio button, then click the Install button.
