Can someone explain me why i get those errors and how i can solve it step by step?

PS: I already downloaded the m2repository_r28 and delete the library in Xamarin folder, and paste in there.

I delete all inside folder "zip" clean and rebuild... and i get these errors:

Solution:

Delete all folders, inside Xamarin like Xamarin.Android and rebuild the solution.

See this guide I wrote: https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/troubleshooting/resolving-library-installation-errors/ — Jon Douglas, Feb 12 '17 at 19:26
Hey Jon, i made it, but not solve my problem! do you have Skype? — Gabriel Gomes, Feb 12 '17 at 19:35
You have problems with packages, they are not installed correctly. You need to install them in right way. Check them in your Solution Explorer. — Dmitriy Kaluzhin, Feb 12 '17 at 20:13

This should work:

Delete everything from AppData\Local\Xamarin\zips
Rebuild the solution

Note: It's important that not matter how long it takes to build you let it complete.

The reason of that error is that when you first install the Support Libraries (any of them) they are downloaded into that directory as a zip file. The downloaded file could be corrupted for many reasons. Just deleting the files and Rebuilding the solution will re-download them.

OK, but i need to delete only data entire the "zips" folder... but about the others folder for example... Xamarin.Android.Support.V7, cannot i touch in that folders? – Gabriel Gomes Feb 12 '17 at 21:09
You could delete them as well as they are the unzipped version. – pinedax Feb 12 '17 at 21:17
Ok, I will delete all them, and try to rebuild... Thanks – Gabriel Gomes Feb 12 '17 at 21:20
Do not forget to Clean then Rebuild your solution. – pinedax Feb 12 '17 at 21:35
