Quote: Using Xamarin.Android with Visual Studio requires Business edition or higher.
And there are three options:
1. Purchase a Xamarin.Android subscription
2. Begin a Trial
3. Continue using Starter Edition in Xamarin Studio
(1.) cost money. (2.) has a time bomb. (3.) you have to use Xamarin Studio and Not Visual Studio.
When Microsoft announced this new feature, they stated that we can drop Eclipse/Android Studio. What they forgot to mention that we have to drop a thousand dollar after it every year...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Xamarin is a partner of Microsofts. I know that MS has, in the past, been known to shaft its partners, but given the good will that Xamarin has, they don't want to damage that relationship.
Of course, you could always develop in x-platform C++ in VS 2015. This is covered in the documentation after all.

Xamarin's Starter Edition is being modified to work with VS2013 Community Edition.

Only if you want to continue receiving upgrades.

I'm not sure it's a Xamarin problem wiht VS2015, I got such nerves today that I can' even investigate further...

In the VS2015-Xamarin couple starter edition not an option, as (3.) has a second line that tells that all these nice features will not be available for you...

Yeah, I don't think X have formally announced support for VS2015 yet.
What I meant about the upgrades was you can continue to use the Business edition forever without paying anything more if you're not interested in the upgrades to the SDK. I'm hoping it's only a matter of time before MS gobbles up X and makes the SDKs available as part of Visual Studio, keeping them free for individual devs and teams under 5. That would be a huge win for .NET and the development community, IMHO.

So. After installing VS 2015 preview, started with a simple Android application. VS created the project with a single file in it, that displays a message:
Quote: Install Xamarin to develop iOS and Android apps in C#.
Ok...Now tell me what have YOU installed for 6 hours long!!!
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

The error messages, of course!

You are right!
Otherwise this would happen
Did you know?[^]
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Only if you want to develop for iOS.

I have been told not to believe everything (anything) on the internet, so are these Samuel Silva drawings real? If they are then this guy is a genius! http://vianaarts.deviantart.com/[^]

These are amazing. I've seen others at the Baltimore Comic Con that were simply breathtaking. Unfortunately, with a ten year old boy in the house, I couldn't buy any.

dude
1) STOP SHOUTING - all caps is rude
2) read the posting guidelines for 'the lounge' ie this forum - no programming questions !!!
|
|

|

1) DON'T SHOUT. Using all capitals is considered shouting on the internet, and rude (using all lower case is considered childish). Use proper capitalization if you want to be taken seriously.
2) Learn to read before posting: there is text at teh top of this page which clearly explains what this forum is for. "if you need specific help please use the programming forums."
Try here: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/ask.aspx[^] - but I'd suggest that you improve your question as well, as we don't do your homework or your job for you...
