Hello guys,
I'm sorry for the stupid questions but I'm very new to mobile development. Your help would be very important.
Does anyone have experience with both dot42 and Xamarin to develop C# apps for Android?
Xamarin looks nice, but it seems that in order to have Visual Studio integration you should subscribe the business package which is quite expensive. So I've seen that dot42 has VS integration for free.
I know that I could use Xamarin Studio for free. But here are some questions about this:
- does the VS integration mean that you can use all the libraries that you can use for normal desktop apps developed in VS?
- is the GUI building similar as the one that can be created for desktop apps once one develop for Android in VS?
- if I want to chart something, I have seen that in Xamarin Studio I should buy some component. There is just a bar chart for free. If I have something integrated with VS can I use the chart tool we have in VS directly?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a visual basic 2010 plugin that enables me to develop an android app within the visual basic environment. I've searched everywhere and found these apps that don't do the job :
1.Basic4Android (Has its individual UI)
2.Mono for android (This is one is integrated in C# only )
Please help,
Thanks
anything found

Very nice idea, that would be just great. I tried already Basic4Android but it's pretty far from native VB. So far I haven't found any VB plugin or such stuff for VB. Maybe some day...
Hi! I want to know is there any kind of program that can make an Augment Reality code and to input the code into an application for Android? Something like a generator.
I want to create an app like Nokia City Lens. Something like this:

Hello there, While Developing the Perfect AR App you have to Mark these things
1. Unique design
2. Necessary 3D models
3. Pictures
4.Text files
5. Powerful Effects
6. Scientific visualization and 3d Modeling
7. 3D image recognition and tracking
I am an AR APP Developer at Game App Studio where we provide the top Augment Reality Reality Apps Development Solutions with These Kind of AR App development Tools:
Vuforia
ARToolKit
Google ARCore
Apple ARKit
Maxst
Wikitude
As an AR App Developer, I am recommending you the Google ARCore for your Android AR app.While as an AR App developer, We follow the Process
We Figure out a great idea to enhance your business. Competitor analysis is a good way to handle it.
Explore the market of existing SDKs and platforms for augmented reality development. We pick the one that fits your idea, budget, and expertise. For example, platforms like Vuforia, Wikitude, and ARToolKit require a profound knowledge of C++, Java, or C#. If programming languages are not your cup of tea, opt for an easier solution – tools like Blippar or Aurasma are an excellent choice for beginners.
Already you that AR usually needs the presence of 3D objects. You can download existing models or learn how to make them yourself.
Create a 2D tracker, which is a specific picture that gets placed on a surface and scanned by AR-aided devices.
Create a unique design and prepare all the necessary 3D models, pictures, text files, and data.
Put all the elements together on a platform of your choice.
I'm a C# developer by profession and have dabbled in Android application development in the early days of Android (prior to Eclair). At the time, I followed the Google Tutorial, various websites and bought a couple of books. However, I felt there were some things lacking explanation to fully understand how things worked. I've recently had the interest to revisit it. I know there's the Xamarin software that will allow me to develop Android applications using C# and Visual Studio but I was keen to stick with Java code and Eclipse. I know the Google Tutorial has been updated but a brief look at it still seems to show there's not enough explanation behind certain aspects.
Can anyone recommend a good book that takes you through a real and working Android application which has good explanations for things along the way?
TIA
Hey,
I use visual studio for programming in C++ and am interested in learning to develop for android. I have previously done so in eclipse but it has been 2 years or so and that was in Java. I am interested in programming in C++ and was curious what IDE y'all used.
Thanks,
Fish.

I suggest you to use Qt
You can programing in c++ for android
If you're on Windows, Visual C++ isn't a bad choice (esp. the latest editions which include Android support!). But if you're on Linux and/or programming on both Windows and Linux, Qt Creator is my favourite by all means.
Personally, I prefer CLion by JetBrains (the company that creates IntelliJ and Android Studio). Although it is a commercial IDE, you can have free license for student or open source project.

CLion is amazing! It works really well with Rust plugin too.
I've been learning Android development recently and finally released my first free app.
It's open source and available on Github too. It's made with C# in Xamarin (not forms though, which meansit uses Android's native APIs).
I chose to start with a TOTP generator because
It's a non trivial use case yet not too complex
It allows to meaningfully integrate image acquisition and protocol handling
I already had a UWP version I could reuse the corre logic from
The Google OTP generator uses a web service to scan QR codes, as far as I can tell
I'd be interested in asking for feedback: does the app's UI feel right? What areas can I improve?

It was nice to see that you have your first software released. Congradulations... And thanks for sharing. As I saw you developed your software with Xamarin which is a cross platform framework. It would be great if you can share your experience here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/frameworks/native-vs-cross-platform-t3850250 with other people.
I like to hear more stories about crossplatform and also native coding experiences.
I'm going to give your software a try.
I'm not a fan of material design UI, however your app looks nice. Congratulations for creating your first app.
Congratulations. You made the right choice when decided to create tool. Wish you high ratings and many downloads! I downloaded it on my phone.
