LoadTemplate should not be null

I am getting the error mentioned above when I try to implement a data template selector on the sfRotator control. 

Running on Visual Studio Enterprise 2019
Syncfusion control version 17.1.0.47

        <ResourceDictionary>

            <DataTemplate x:Key="SampleTemplateTextLine">
                <ViewCell>
                    <local:TextLine
                        HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                        Columns="{Binding Columns}" />
                </ViewCell>
            </DataTemplate>

            <DataTemplate x:Key="SampleTemplateEmptyLine">
                <ViewCell>
                    <BoxView
                        BackgroundColor="Transparent"
                        HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                        HeightRequest="10"/>
                </ViewCell>
            </DataTemplate>

            <local:SampleTemplateSelector x:Key="SampleTemplateSelector"
                SampleTemplateTextLine="{StaticResource SampleTemplateTextLine}"
                SampleTemplateEmptyLine="{StaticResource SampleTemplateEmptyLine}" />
        </ResourceDictionary>

            <sfRotator:SfRotator
                HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                NavigationStripMode="Dots"
                NavigationDirection="Horizontal"
                ItemsSource="{Binding SampleList}"
                ItemTemplate="{StaticResource SampleTemplateSelector}">
            </sfRotator:SfRotator>

Hi Muneesh, unfortunately updating to version 17.2.28-beta introduces a NullReferenceException.

UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Syncfusion.SfRotator.XForms.Droid.SfRotatorRenderer.GetViewTemplateFromTemplate (Xamarin.Forms.DataTemplate template, System.Int32 index, Xamarin.Forms.Rectangle size, Syncfusion.SfRotator.XForms.SfRotator _rotator)

Can you confirm if this has anything to do with my Xamarin.Forms version or not?

Hi Liam,  
 
We have analyzed your code snippet and we found that the reported problem occurs due to using the ViewCell in DataTemplate.  
 
You can resolve this problem by using TextLine directly without ViewCell in DataTemplate.
