Question

I am working on an android app using Xamarin and receive the following exception.
Xamarin caused by: android.runtime.JavaProxyThrowable: System.ArgumentException: Handle must be valid.

I've tried adding a txt file, environment.txt, with the property to set the GC to old. However that did not work.
What other issues could cause this exception?
