Xamarin Visual Studio Emulator Problems

I am a beginner getting into android development. When I create a project using xamarin forms, and I try to create an emulator, I get this error:
Any idea how to fix this? I am using Visual Studio 2019 Community.

is there a xaml editor for xamarin on visual studio community edition?

I am investigating xamarin forms for windows phone development and I'm trying to work with an example project from the following book:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/4/7/747DDA87-CA9F-4394-9B3F-4426BFE52BBF/Microsoft_Press_eBook_Xamarin_Preview_2_PDF.pdf
I got it to compile fine on the local machine, so far so good. When I try to open the xaml file for the app layout in the visual editor I get the following message:
I'm using visual studio community edition 2015
My question is: is there a visual editor for xaml I can use and how can I acquire it?
No, there is not. Xamarin might be working on it for a long while but they never clearly announce such a plan.
Microsoft instead offers IntelliSense if you are editing Xamarin.Forms XAML in the code editor as it once announced.

.csproj file unsupported in Visual Studio 2013

So I'm trying to do what I think is a very simple thing: generate a Windows Phone app with PhoneGap and open it in Visual Studio. On a totally fresh Windows installation (via Bootcamp), I've:
Downloaded Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows (the very first download button: http://developer.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk)
Created a PhoneGap Windows Phone app per the Getting Started guide.
However, every time I try to open the csproj file, I keep getting this error:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.
For more information on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets, please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after clicking OK.
- HelloWorld, "C:\BodBot\BodBot-PG\BodBot\platforms\wp8\HelloWorld.csproj"
No changes required
These projects can be opened in Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without changing them.
- HelloWorld, "C:\BodBot\BodBot-PG\BodBot\platforms\wp8\HelloWorld.sln"
No matter what I do. It works totally fine on Visual Studio 2012 for Windows Phone. I've tried it on VS 2013 for Desktop, and that doesn't work either. No clue what is happening here, and don't know even where to start to figure out what's wrong. I've Googled extensively to no avail; basically all instances of this error seem to have to do with previous version of VS. Pointing in any direction would be very much appreciated.
Turns out Update 2 wasn't getting installed correctly. I ended up installing Visual Studio and the Update 2 separately and Update 2 got installed successfully. Everything works now.
To build Multi device hybrid (Cordova tooling) apps with Visual Studio, you need to have Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 - Professional, Ultimate, or Premium.

Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone not showing correct Design View

For some reason Visual Studio is showing me this weird, ugly skeleton design view when I try building Mango apps instead of the regular fully detailed view I used to get with the old 7.0 apps.
Any idea what setting I need to change to revert back to the old view? I've spent forever searching for the right option but can't find it anywhere.
Here's what my design view currently looks like:
Thanks,

I had the same problems few weeks ago. Normally an uninstallation would not really help. I guess you also have installed the Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1. So to solve your problem, uninstall all of your Visual Studio and Windows Phone Related Products, normally these are:
Visual Studio 2010 (or Express)
Visual Sudio 2010 SP1
Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 Refresh
After uninstallation install all products in the following order:
1) Visual Studio 2010 (or Express)
2) Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 Refresh
and after (1) and (2) install and apply the Visual Studio 2010 - Service Pack 1.
Thre problem is, that if you install the SP1 before the Game Studio, there are some missing links and files which are not patched and this leads to the missfunctionality of the Windows Phone Designer.
I hope, i was able to help you :)

Can Visual Studio installe with ms sql server be used to modify a .net windows app?

I am trying to modify a .net written in visual studio 2008. However, when I loaded and try to build the website, I get a bunch of errors that several controls like firstname.text are not declared even though the app has been working.
It is possible that I am getting this error because I am using the BI version fo visual studio?
Thanks alot for all the help.
No it is not possible. If I understand correctly, you're using BIDS to modify a .NET project.
Business Intelligence Studio is a completely different program than Visual Studio (though they are based on the same editor). If you want to modify the .NET project, you will need an Instance of Visual Studio, not BIDS (Business Intelligence Developer Studio).
