How to add Contact info in Android App with Xamarin

Question

I'm developing a simple application which will store a contact name and ip address.

In my mind i imagined i would have a text field where i could enter a name, and another text field for the ip address and then a button which when clicked stored the contents of the text fields into some kind of array that could then be called up to show the contacts added.

I'm working in Xamarin for Android and writing my code in C# - except i'm not totally sure where to begin with this task.

Anyone know where to start with this on C#? Examples or existing works would be incredibly useful as i'm very much a beginner when it comes to programming!

Answer 1

Xamarin has a github repository with a lot of different samples and ready made apps.

Also the Xamarin documentation for Xamarin.Android is very useful, as it contains API docs, tutorials and descriptions for some of the samples in the repository along with additional samples.

There are also a couple of books, which gives you a good basis of knowledge of how to use Mono for Android/Xamarin.Android:

• Professional Android Programming with Mono for Android and .NET/C#
• Mobile Development with C#
