Introduction to Android Development with Xamarin

In this two-part guide, we build our first Xamarin.Android application using Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio and develop an understanding of the fundamentals of Android application development with Xamarin. Along the way we’ll introduce the tools, concepts, and steps required to build and deploy a Xamarin.Android application.

Part 1: Quickstart

In the first part of this guide we’ll create an application that translates an alphanumeric phone number entered by the user into a numeric phone number, and then calls that number.

Part 2: Deep Dive

In the second part of this document, we’ll review what we’ve built and develop a fundamental understanding of how Android applications work.
