[mono-android] Activator.CreateInstance

[Dave Goughnour]

Thanks, that did the trick. Saved me lots of time. I was already looking at the code to figure out how to avoid using CreateInstance. Would not have been pretty...

I tried the version that takes in a type and calls the default constructor as well as the version that takes a type and an object[] of parameters and both complain that the method is not found but they both work fine in .NET. Any known issues with this?

You're missing a [Android.Runtime.PreserveAttribute] on your constructor.

My apologies, as we need to better document this, but Mono for Android is following the design of MonoTouch here:
