Getting Started with Xamarin.Android Controls
In This Topic
ComponentOne Xamarin.Android is a collection of Android UI controls developed by MESCIUS. Xamarin.Android Edition has been optimized for Android development with outstanding built-in features and superior flexibility. It allows you to design views in XML and develop applications similar to the pre-built UI controls in Android.
For existing Xuni new users, the new architecture brings many new features:
- Enhanced performance
The new controls should generally perform better than the old controls (sometimes doubling performance). By specifically focusing on the Xamarin architecture, the controls cut out some intermediary logic and are optimized for the platform. Since they’re entirely in C#, so you can also expect a more consistent experience.
- Designer support
The new controls should also support Xamarin’s designers for iOS and Android applications. This makes it much easier to construct your Android XML or iOS Storyboards using these controls.
- New control features
The controls have been rethought for the new architecture with the combined experience of Xuni, Wijmo, as well as ComponentOne controls. Some controls have a number additional features (such as FlexGrid).
