using Zxing.Net Mobile for forms does is not recognize

Question

I am new in Xamarin.Forms and I want use the bar code scaner by Zxing. however I install the plugin form nuget: 1)ZXing.Net.Mobile for Forms 2) ZXing.Net.Mobile. -> install it since I read somewhere it would help my problem but its not.

as far as I understood I need to add this line: to the Android project in main Activity

However alotugh I install the packages I am still getting an error of: The type or namespace name 'Andorid' does not exist in the namespace 'ZXing.Net.Mobile.Forms' (are you missing an assembly reference?) ScannerZXing.Android

what can I do? (perofrm clean and rebuild for the project didn't help)

also would like to add that it is added in the referecnes of the projects.

Thanks for the ansewrs.

Answer 1

In my case the reason was that I installed only ZXing.Net.Mobile.Forms. After installing ZXing.Net.Mobile it`s gone. (two libraries need to be installed)
