I am making a health app using researchKit. I want to do this in Xamarin as I already have a lot of shared code which can be used in Xamarin. However, research Kit has not been integrated into Xamarin . I am thinking of binding the framework to my project in Xamarin. But I have no idea how to do it. I am new to developing in Xamarin. Please help!

I'm a Windows developer and have written all sorts of windows client applications using C++ and C#. I wanted to write an Android app and put it on the Google Store, but I'm only equipped with Visual Studio.
I wanted to ask if it is realistic to think that I can create an app, from scratch, including engine and UI using Xamarin only. I saw there are a few Xamarin samples out there, but I didn't want to start only to find out that it's not enough for some reason.
Currently I'm struggling a bit in getting my environment right, but thought I'd throw this question here to you guys ... Maybe it's not even worth starting?
Thanks.
Yes, Xamarin can be used to develop Android apps from scratch. Xamarin has two main libraries that help with this.
Xamarin.Android will give you access to all the Android APIs directly from c#. Note that you still need to know the basic Android concepts like what is an Activity and an Intent.
The other library is Xamarin.Forms. It is a cross-platform library that will give you a basic set of UI controls and widgets that you declare usong an xml syntax, and program with C#. This library has a few limitations, but you can also use the features of Xamarin.Android alongside it to get at the missing features.
Some advice: if possible, develop and debug directly on an Android tablet. Android emulators are not that good and hard to configure. Hope this helps.
There are 2 types of Xamarin you can use.
Xamarin Forms : Which is the unified version that use XAML for the UI. It is very recommended to use this if you are building a simple application.
Xamarin Native : The "native" version of platform that are written in C#, if you want to create Android-only apps, I really recommend this, since it's very similar with the native Android code, but it's wrapped using C# (You can still using nuget package).
Hello colleagues developers,
I'm currently developing a Xamarin Form app that requires the integration of a Payment Service Provider. My company requires that I use Adyen as the PSP.
Adyen itself doesn't provide any information on Xamarin integration. Information exist for Android and IOS but can't find anything for Xamarin forms / Xamarin.Android.
I've created a Bindings Library (android).
I've added the.aar file provided by Adyen into it.
Then I built it with the LibraryProjectZip property but after adding the reference to my Xamarin.android project, I can't use any methods that should be in it...
I've tried this process with another .aar and everything went fine...
Does any of you have already integrated Adyen in a Xamarin form / Xamarin.android app ?
Thanks in advance,
Noste
I am creating cross platform app in xamarin.forms.but when i try to deploy it in xamarin android player.its just stuck there..i had found same question but still no proper solution..please help me..
The Xamarin Android Player has actually been deprecated, it was never fully released and likely has a few bugs.
Try using the built in visual studio emulator instead:
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/deployment,_testing,_and_metrics/debug-on-emulator/visual-studio-android-emulator/
I have developed an app/component using Xamarin.Forms and as per the requirement I need to integrate that component with another app which is developed on Xamarin Native in Android as well as iOS.
Kindly help me with the suggestions or references
I've seen something like that on a sample called Native2Forms.
What it does, at least in Android, is to use a separete activity to integrate the Xamarin Forms PCL (FormsActivity).
i'm newbie in Xamarin. am download all components and i don't know how to develop cross platform app for iOS, android and windows.
if u have any tutorial step to step app development. please help me.
Here it is the official guides, they are pretty much helpful for basic development, you will have to use Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android to develop some specific thing more related to the platform.
