Getting error while making SQLite Connection in Xamarin PCL

Question

I am following this tutorial for SQLite practice in Xamarin:

Now I am stuck here in

public RandomThoughtDatabase () { _connection = DependencyService.Get"ISQLite" ().GetConnection (); }

ISQLite is an interface in PCL

its giving this error

Error CS0119 'DependencyService.Get(DependencyFetchTarget)' is a method, which is not valid in the given context LocalStorage

Did you mean to write DependencyService.Get<ISQLite>()? Also do you happen to have an ISQLite.GetConnection property, similar to this issue? — hvaughan3

Use the following instead:

public RandomThoughtDatabase () { _connection = DependencyService.Get<ISQLite>().GetConnection(); }
