Type of issue

Code doesn't work

Description

events.AddAndroid(android =>
{
android.OnCreate((activity, bundle) =>
{
var action = activity.Intent?.Action;
var data = activity.Intent?.Data?.ToString();

     if (action == Android.Content.Intent.ActionView && data is not null)
     {
         activity.Finish();
         System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Run(() => HandleAppLink(data));
     }
 });

});
AddAndroid
'type' does not contain a definition for 'name' and no accessible extension method 'name' accepting a first argument of type 'type' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?).

Hi @SayedHussein1

The best location to post this is our Q & A site. You may need to include more of your current code to get a good answer. The snippet you posted doesn't use the symbol name. From what's posted, I can't see what the error is.

The article here is correct, in that the compiler error is because you're trying to use a symbol (name) that isn't defined. The article can't include specific information for each application. I'll close this, but I do encourage you to ask on the Q & A site.
