getting an exception on android only: 
System.MissingMethodException: Default constructor not found for type Telerik.XamarinForms.DataControlsRenderer.Android.ListView.ListViewTemplateCellRenderer occurred

Hi Jay,

Unfortunately this isn't enough information to determine the cause and I was not able to replicate the issue using the ListViewTemplateCell demo.

There are some common things to check for:

- Make sure you've added all the RadList Required Telerik Assemblies
- Make sure the Android project has Required Android Support Libraries

If you have any further issues after adding the missing pieces and doing a Rebuild, open a support ticket here and attach project so I can investigate directly.

Hello Jay,

I just finished reviewing recent bug reports and found one that may, or may not, be relevant. 

Since you only shared the template, I can't see the rest of the RadListView to confirm, but it would take less than a minute to apply the suggested workaround as a quick test.


Test 

Define the ItemTemplate in the page/app resources and use a StaticResource instead, for example:

In App Resources

<ResourceDictionary>
    <DataTemplate x:Key="MyItemTemplate">
        <Grid>
            <Label Text="{Binding MyProperty}"/>
        </Grid>
    <DataTemplate>
</ResourceDictionary>

RadListView
<dataControls:RadListView ItemTemplate="{StaticResource MyItemTemplate}" />

Thanks for the info.  Updating android support libraries fixed the issue.
