- LoneWolf 12y agoSo no native android development? Or am I wrong thinking these options are not native.
- bratsche 12y agoIt depends on your definition of native. Xamarin lets you use all the native Android APIs, but you're using them via bindings in C# or F# instead of Java.
- gagege 12y agoThe C++ and Xamarin stuff is native. Take a look at Xamarin.Forms. It looks very nice.
- on_and_off 12y agoYes and no. Xamarin does some binding to the native APIs but you are going to code in C#. Even if it is your favorite language in the world, I don't think that Xamarin is a good platform to develop non-trivial apps. If you need to develop something relatively simple on multiple platforms, Xamarin is a good way to do it once on iOS & Android.
