title: Xamarin Colors Causing Build Errors
body: <p>I have an android application built with Xamarin Studio.  I added a file named colors.xml to the Resources/values folder.  The contents were:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;resources&gt;
      &lt;color name="ViewBackgroundColor"&gt;#ffffff&lt;/color&gt;
  &lt;/resources&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To that, I was following <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/more-resources.html#Color" rel="noreferrer">this approach</a> to define and use it; however, I was trying to apply it to the view's root element (found that resource elsewhere on SO, don't have exact link).  So I applied it to the view by adding <code>android:background="@color/ViewBackgroundColor"</code> attribute to the root element.  However, this generates a build error that @color/ViewBackgroundColor isn't a value.  is anybody else having this issue and is there a resolution?</p>
