You then (presumably) added a Data.xml file to the Resources\Xml folder; what
Build action did you set on it?
Default should be AndroidResource, but it wouldn't help to verify...

This won't work/ xDoc.Load() wants a filename, and there is no such file. Files
with a Build action of AndroidResource are embedded into the .apk and are not
extracted at install time; in order to access such files, you need to use the
Resources [0, 1] API:
var doc = new XmlDocument ();
doc.Load (context.Resources.GetXml (Resource.Xml.Data));
Alternatively, instead of using the Android Resources API, you may want to
embed the file into your assembly. This will allow your code to be portable
across Windows and MonoTouch as well. You'd set the Build action for Data.xml
to EmbeddedResource, and use Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream()[2]:
var doc = new XmlDocument ();
doc.Load (Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly ().GetManifestResourceStream
(@RESOURCE_NAME@));
Note: You'll need to double-check/change the Resource ID when using the
EmbeddedResource build action, as @RESOURCE_NAME@ frequently will NOT be the
filename; see the file's Properties panel.
