[mono-android] Unexpected Exception from System.Net.WebClient result

[subsembly]

Hi,

this is the output:

>adb shell getprop ro.product.cpu.abi
armeabi-v7a

>adb shell getprop ro.product.cpu.abi2
armeabi

So, to be on the save side, I now have both checks, armeabi and armeabi-v7a,
ticked in my Application settings.

I am still investigating the orginal WebClient problems and found one more
compatibility problem with the WebClient class on Android: The Event
"DownloadStringCompleted" and probably other WebClient events, too, are not
fired on the UI thread but on some background worker thread. However, in
classic Windows Forms these events are fired on the UI thread. As the
WebClient class is derived from System.ComponentModel.Component and is
visible in the Windows Forms Designer, I would expect that the events are
fired as UI events on the UI thread. To improve compatibility with existing
code it would probably be better to fire these events on the UI thread in
Mono for Android, too.

Cheers,

Andreas
