[mono-android] XML Drawable Resource as background won't compile

[Jonathan Pobst]

Despite the fact we do some magic to allow you to have mixed case 
filenames, Android requires all lowercase and it all gets converted to 
that in the background.

Therefore, you have to reference your background all lowercase:

android:background="@drawable/shapedrawabledemo"
