[Xamarin Error]:Exception in thread "main" deployment fail
After I installed Facebook SDK for Andorid. I found I cannot deploy my app in the debug anymore. I clicked the play button in Visual Studio, no compilation errors at all. Visual Studio is only freezed in "Deploying in [Phone Name]" for a little white. Then it stoped and gave out this error message,'Exception in thread "main"'. After I did a number of random search in Google, I found some people in the Xamarin Forum mentioned they need to increase the heap size to 1G after installing Facebook SDK. Finally, I increased the heap size to 1G in (Project Properties -> Android Options->Advanced-> Java Max Heap Size). Then it works!
Please check "Sync" to synchronize folder for Office 365 with the local folder
When you use Windows 8.1 or older, you wish to synchronize your folders with Sharepoint Online or Onedrive for Business. You need to download a plug-in call "Onedrive for Business". Moreover, you need to put the SharePoint or OneDrive URL manually. In Windows 10, that is easy! All you need to do, going to the folders you wish to synchronize in Sharepoint or Onedrive in your browser. Then you can see a "Sync" in the toolbar. Then you need to click; then Windows will synchronize the folder. You will see the folder in your file explorer too. No software is required to install and I tried that works in Edge and Chrome!
[Xamarin Error]:System.MissingMethodException: Method 'Android.Support.V4.Widget.DrawerLayout.AddDrawerListener' not found.
After I switched my Xamarin Forms app from Normal Form Activity to FormsAppCompatActivity. This can provide more function in Material Design, such as TextInputLayout. But I got this error:System.MissingMethodException: Method 'Android.Support.V4.Widget.DrawerLayout.AddDrawerListener' not found. I found the problem is from the libraries. After I updated the latest Xamarin Forms Library in Android Project. That works!

Google Phone - Pixel
Last week, I saw there is a real phone of Google Pixel in JB HiFi. That is the first phone calls "Made By Google." Officially, there is a first real Google Pixel, but HTC builds that.
Although JB HiFi got a real phone and allowed the customers to try it, a few customers were waiting to try that phone too. So, I can have one or two minutes to play. Firstly, the AMOLED screen is very very sharp. I love it, and the phone with Android 7.0 is very fast and smooth. Also, the phone is light too and looks beautiful. However, my wife said that looks iPhone 7. In general, that is not bad.Unfortunately, I need a dual sim phone, because I need to travel oversea a bit.
