It crashes because of an InvalidCastException: Resources.GetDrawable() is
returning an Android.Graphics.Drawables.GradientDrawable, not a ShapeDrawable.
I'm not sure how the Android/Java code works at all (assuming it does; I
haven't tested), as the Android documentation clearly states that the <shape/>
element will return a GradientDrawable:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#Shape
compiled resource datatype: Resource pointer to a GradientDrawable.
