c# - Ninject Portable in Xamarin results in NotImplementedException -

when use portable.ninject in xamarin.forms app, instantiating standardkernel results in notimplementedexception.

i can consistently replicate problem follows:

• create xamarin.forms application (in vs2017: cross platform app (xamarin))
• configure use pcl
• i'm interested in android , sake of brevity, removed other platform projects.
• add nuget package portable.ninject pcl , android platforms

then, in app.xaml.cs try following:

public app() {     initializecomponent();     //ommitting ninjectmodules brevity     var kernel = new ninject.standardkernel(); //exception thrown here     mainpage = new navigationpage(new mainview()); } 

what missing here?

currently i'm using portable.ninject version 3.3.1. tried xlabs.ioc.ninject package (which uses portable.ninject) , got same result.

for experience same problem:

tldr; clean projects, , rebuild.

explanation: @ first had added ninject pcl, , had forgotten add android project. although added ninject library android project afterwards, still result in exception being thrown.

the solution clean projects , rebuild them. it's easy!
