            SetContentView(Resource.Layout.MainPage); 
        } 
 
        private void SetupIoC() 
        { 
            Mvx.RegisterType<ISoundHandler, SoundHandler>(); 
            PortableMvxIoCRegistrations.InitIoC(); 
        } 
    } 

We will need to set up our IoC registrations in the IoC container when this activity is created. Then we simply set the content view to the XML sheet we created previously. Let's test out the Android application and click run; you should now have a MainPage ...
