Xamarin 4.0.13 Layout Rendering Error

Question

I get the error "Error connecting to layout renderer. This may be due to improper Java configuration. Close and open the file again" after upgrading to version 4.0.13. This is the error log:

Error: Could not find or load main class Files\Android\android-sdk\tools\lib\ant-tasks.jar;C:\Program ERROR [2013-10-13 10:47:56Z]: Connection failed System.Exception: Java process failed to start at Xamarin.AndroidDesigner.JavaProcessConnection.DoConnect() ERROR [2013-10-13 10:47:58Z]: Could not update jumplists System.InvalidOperationException: The file type is not registered with this application. at Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Taskbar.JumpList.AppendCustomCategories() at Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Taskbar.JumpList.Refresh() at MonoDevelop.Platform.JumpList.UpdateJumpList() at MonoDevelop.Platform.JumpList.OnUpdateTimerEllapsed(Object sender, EventArgs args) 

Xamarin must be thoroughly tested before releasing a service pack. I'm sorry that I did not upgrade to 4.0.13.

I think it was allowed. for me, I constantly got this error randomly, but if you encounter it, just open the sdk manager for Android from visual studio TOOLS> ANDROID> Android SDK Manager
