That work around did indeed solve the problem. Would my proposed code be expected to work? If so, I can report a bug for it.
In addition to lowercasing "ActivityAthleteTwopane", I also needed to lowercase "ActivityAthleteList". Otherwise, it attempted to create a second ActivityAthleteList entry in the Resource.Designer.cs file. I agree that it's odd that they would include that functionality in what basically amounts to a sample application, but fail to document it. That's why I was having so much trouble finding resources on it. If you want to see it in action, with the latest Android SDK and ADT Tools for Eclipse installed, create a new "Android Application Project" in Eclipse with a minimum API version of at least 11 (Honeycomb). Choose "MasterDetailFlow" on the "Create Activity" screen. Finish the wizard, then reference the refs.xml files in the "/res/values-large" and "/res/values-sw600dp" folders. That should hopefully be at least a start. Thanks for the help! Let me know if you need any more information.
