MonoDroid VS Java in android development?

Question

I know C# rather well and just love Visual Studio as IDE. :) Yet now I want to start developing for android...

I found out about MonoDroid and wanted to ask if it ha

Answer 1

Here are some points that you can mull over:

1. Android applications are predominately written with Java. The Android SDK itself is natively written in Java.

2. Working in Mono may not provide all the functionality available in the Java SDK.

3. If you are a C# Developer you wont be able to find, in Java, some of the (cool) features available in C# (like Property Delegates etc).

4. Code written in .NET can be re-used for other environments - this may save a lot time that would have been spent learning a new language/environment (like Objective C), and coding in it.

5. .NET extends the Android development stack with it's existing libraries and API's.

I think both are good for certain reason. It will be very hard to say which one is preferable for Android development - in the end that is up to you too decide.
