I've created a custom renderer for Android and implemented it for a custom Slider control. I've got 2 solutions. In both solutions an Android App is build and started on an Android Phone. The test program shows the slider fine and I can drag the thumb up and down without any problems. The second solution is a bigger one where the slider should be implemented. If I run that solution the slider is displayed but I cannot move the thumb up and down. The OnTouchEvent is never fired. Below is all the code needed for the Slider. I know it's a lot but I hope someone sees the my problem.
My guess is that the ExportRenderer attribute at on the namespace somehow isn't found or triggered. The 'OnElementChanged' override is called but further nothing.
This is the custom renderer for the DraggableView (the thumb of the slider) in the Android project
