Error when using picker

[Caleb Kliewer]

I am trying to use a SfPicker on xamarin forms. I have tried using both PCL and Shared project. I use this reference in my content page  xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfPicker.XForms;assembly=Syncfusion.SfPicker.XForms". When I try to run an emulator I get the error: Xamarin.Forms.Xaml.XamlParseException has been thrown. Type syncfusion:SfPicker not found in xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfPicker.XForms;assembly=Syncfusion.SfPicker.XForms". I am running this on Mac and have installed the SfPicker nuget package. How can I solve this?

Thanks.

Hi Caleb Kliewer,

Thanks for your update.

Installation of nuget packages for both android and iOS are same way.

Step 1: Initially get(copy) the Xamarin Nuget URL from the following link

Link: http://nuget.syncfusion.com/  

Step 2: In Visual studio->Solution explorer-> project->Right Click->Manage Nuget Package->Package Souce Setting->Click Add.

Step 3: Now add the URL that get from the link is added to the source and give the Name as we want and click O.K

Step 4: Select the package source as you added and search Sfpicker in browse option it Will automatically shows SfPicker.Xamarin.Forms.

Step 5: Click install and Package gets added
