Apps C# on android

[scriptbunny]

Is it possible?

Only if someone made a C# to Java bytecode compiler. Short answer is no.

Novell is going to release MonoDroid later this year. Allowing you to use C# to create Android apps.

@someguymms
woot! that's a relief, since i'm used to .NET

It's pretty amazing all of the sudden effort that's being paid to Android from all these sources.

Is it translated into Dalvik bytecode or what?

 

[sambocrockett]

who knows.....but I seriously hope that the small games i made in xna will be able to be ported some how into android.....that would be awesome

Here's an open source mono implementation: koush's androidmono at master - GitHub. I haven't gotten it on the phone yet as I ran into problems with building the NDK (hence why I came to these boards today). I'm not sure about any details of whether it works side by side with Dalvik or not, but I'm assuming it does since you don't have to root your phone to use it.

The mono team has a website up for monodroid beta sign-ups

I've been using the monodroid demo for development, but the emulator is EXTREMELY slow with monodroid as opposed to straight Java. I'm trying to figure out a way to deploy the app to my phone before purchasing the monodroid software because I don't want to shell out 400 bucks if it's going to be this slow on a normal phone.

I've been able to make significantly faster development progress in c# though.

Yes, you can use c# to program for android...
You can use either Visual Studio, or Mono ...

These are the files you need:

jdk-6u25-javafx-1_3_1-windows-i586.exe
jdk-6u25-windows-x64.exe <<< for 64 bits OS
jdk-6u25-windows.exe <<<for 32 bits OS
installer_r10-windows.exe <<< Android SDK and AVD manager

And you should be good to go

Have fun, happy programming lol.


Here is a link for you in case you get stuck...
