This sample is a simple demo of HttpClient accessing a Json web service. The code is based on this portable class library sample - it retrieves data from GeoNames and displays it in a ListView.

NOTE: if you get a build error related to HttpClient, do a Clean of the solution (and if that doesn't work, manually delete all the obj and bin folders).

• Xamarin.Forms (of course)

• Newtonsoft.Json for parsing the Json response

• Microsoft.Net.Http for the HttpClient implementation
