title: Material Theme in Xamarin.Form element
body: <p>In my application, the AppCompat Theme is working fine created using <a href="https://blog.xamarin.com/android-tips-hello-material-design-v7-appcompat/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">steps here</a>. I want to apply <a href="https://www.google.com/design/spec/components/buttons.html#buttons-raised-buttons" rel="nofollow noreferrer">RaisedButton</a> color in Xamarin.Forms Button. For this I have tried following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Added style in <code>MyApplication.Droid &gt; Resources &gt; Values&gt; style.xml</code> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26346727/android-material-design-button-styles">refering</a> as: </p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;style name="MyRaisedButton" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored"&gt;&lt;/style&gt;</code></p></li>
  <li><p>Added a button in MyApplication.Shared Portable form library in view MyView.xaml:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;Button Style="{StaticResource MyRaisedButton}" Text="Raised Button" /&gt;</code></p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But its not working. As these two files (MyView.xaml and style.xml) are in different projects.  How can I add buttons in Xamarin.Forms with <code>Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored</code> style?</p>
