The solution is a question: do you need to embed it as an AndroidResource? If 
not, embed it as a normal resource, and use 
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream() to read the XML. If you 
do, you may be able to edit the .csproj and add a <Resource/> element so that 
the file is embedded as a Resource in addition to being built as an 
AndroidResource (though I have no idea if this will actually work or confuse 
the IDE or...).

As for why the GetLayout(int)/GetXml(int)/etc. methods are missing, it's 
because we're aiming to reduce classlib duplication, and nuked the Java XML 
APIs from our binding, which caused these methods to also be hidden. We intend 
to provide an XmlReader-based mapping in the future to expose these methods, 
but haven't gotten there yet. In the meantime, if you really want/need to 
invoke these methods, you need to use Android.Runtime.JNIEnv and use the JNI 
infrastructure to invoke the Java method.

Finally, as for why using OpenRawResource() failed, it's because Android 
"compiles" XML into an internal binary format (presumably to speed up 
reading/parsing), and it's this binary format that you're reading. I have no 
idea what the format is, and (obviously) it's convertible into XML, but I have 
no idea how to do so...
