The YoctoAPI.aar file is located in the "Binaries" subdirectory. To do so, we must download our Android library from our web site and unzip the archive on our disk. In our case, we only need to add the YoctoAPI.aar file, which is the precompiled version of our Android library. This project contains a Jars subdirectory in which we must add all the Android libraries written in Java that we will use later on. We must create an Android Bindings library project to convert our Java library into C# So, we start by creating an "Android Bindings library" that we call "YoctoAPIBindings". dll file can then be used directly in your Xamarin Android application. dll file containing C# code and the Java library. The solution to use these languages in a single application is to create an "Android Bindings library" which is going to create a C# "wrapper" for our library. Xamarin uses C# as programming language, but our library is written in Java. In this post, we used Visual Studio Community 2019 under Windows 10, but the process is identical with all the versions of Visual Studio that support Xamarin.Ĭreating an "Android Bindings library" project We also recommend that you read our tutorial on how to use our modules on Android. If it is not the case, we recommend that you start by reading the first posts of the " For the beginners" series, most particularly that on the logical structure of Yoctopuce devices. We assume that you have at least some minimal knowledge of how our modules work. To test this tool, we are going to write a short application which is simply going to display the list of connected Yoctopuce modules which are detected when pushing a button. As most computer frameworks, Xamarin is supposed to help us save development time and to allow us to reuse the code on all the platforms. Since 2016, when Microsoft bought Xamarin, this tool is directly embedded into Visual Studio. Xamarin is a tool enabling you to write mobile applications in C#, among other things. This week, we are going to see how to create an Android application using our modules with Xamarin. Indeed, some of our customers use Xamarin and C# to implement their mobile applications. However, it's not the only available tool. In our previous posts, we always used Android Studio to implement our applications.
