Error inflating class SfChart - Didn't find class

[Cathryn McDonald]

I'm trying to create a chart in Xamarin.Android using XAML. I created the namespace in the XAML file as shown:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:p1="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

       xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfChart.Android;assembly:Syncfusion.SfChart.Android"

    p1:orientation="vertical"

    p1:layout_width="match_parent" etc. etc.

and later in the XAML layout I created the chart as follows:

    <syncfusion:SfChart

        p1:id="@+id/applianceGraph"

        p1:layout_width="match_parent"

        p1:layout_height="match_parent"

        p1:layout_weight="1"

        p1:layout_below="@id/priorityBar"

        p1:layout_above="@id/APNavigationButtons" >

    </syncfusion:SfChart>

But I end up getting the following error at runtime:

Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.companyname.wattsapp_android/md5efa703fe96fd0fe248cc39ed8e34e902.AppliancePageActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #1: Error inflating class SfChart

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "android.view.SfChart" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.companyname.wattsapp_android-2.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app-lib/com.companyname.wattsapp_android-2, /vendor/lib, /system/lib]]

How do you get the program to look in the Syncfusion library? I've added the assembly reference Syncfusion.SfChart.Android.dll as described in the Getting Started page. Is there an additional step I've missed?

Thanks! </com.syncfusion.charts.SfChart> didn't work, but I tried </com.syncfusion.widget.chart.SfChart> and that worked perfectly
