Xamarin error: Connection to the layout renderer failed

Question

Today when I install Xamarin to Visual Studio 2015 it write to me this:

I don't know why. I have JDK 1.8 and VS2015 How can I fix it? Thank you for every answer.

Do you have the Linker enabled and set to `Link All Assemblies`? — SushiHangover, Apr 03 '17 at 20:02
In the project options, disable it completely and retest you app : https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/advanced_topics/linking/#Linker_Behavior — SushiHangover, Apr 03 '17 at 20:17
Have you checked this error: [java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34413/why-am-i-getting-a-noclassdeffounderror-in-java)? Did you have Binding libs to use .jar lib in your project? — Grace Feng, Apr 05 '17 at 02:28
