I would like to make a proper installation and configuration of VS and Xamarin.Forms, to be able to develop Xamarin.Forms Apps for Android devices.
#Installing xamarin for visual studio 2015 install#
So I would like to install VSwith Xamarin.Forms but have no clue what the VS Setup is installing as default for me.įurther, after the VS Setup is finished, do I need to do some additional configurations in VS? If I deselect the Java SE 7.0.550.13, all checkmarks are suddenly deselected. I do already have the latest Java 1.8 SDK 64-bit installed on my PC. What is this about, do I need it?įurther, wouldn't it be sufficient enough to select the latest Android SKD Setup (API Level 23)? Why is API Level 19 and 21 selected and API Level 23, but not API Level 22?įurther, Java SE Development Kit (7.0.550.13 is selected. What for is that NDK and do I have to install it? On what does it depend to choose 32 bits or 64 bits, and on what does it depend to choose R10E or R11C?įurther the Android SKD is intalled, not further information is provided.

When I start the VS Setup, mark C#/.NET (Xamarin v4.2.1) under Cross Platform Mobile Development, other marks are automatically set under Common Tools and Software Development Kits.įor example, why is Android Native Development Kit (R10E, 32 bits) selected? Why not the 64 bits version, or even why not R11C?

In a future post I’ll delve a bit more on how we’re integrating with Microsoft C++ Android Native projects (hint: you can just add a project reference! )).I use a PC with Windows 10 64-bit, and would like to install Visual Studio Community Edition and use Xamarin.Forms to develop mobile Apps for Android devices. (we’re fixing that soon-ish).ĭon’t worry, you don’t have to go download anything again, here are the easy steps to ensure you turn the bits on for 2015:ġ - Go to Add/Remove programs and search for Xamarin:Ģ - Click Next on the installer window and select Change on the next screen:ģ - Finally, make sure you check and install locally the Visual Studio 2015 feature:Īfter the installer is done applying your changes, the old “starter” templates will be gone and you’ll be greeted with a bunch of template that you’re surely familiar with already (since this section applies to existing users only )). Since you previously didn’t have 2015 components installed, then by default you won’t be getting them installed right now.

Ensuring 2015 support is installed (only for previous Xamarin users)īy default, Windows Installer will just update the components you have previously installed, when applying an update. If you happened to have a previous version of Xamarin for Visual Studio installed, please keep reading as you may not have gotten the 2015 bits installed by default (it’s something we’re fixing shortly). Now you can just click that download button, and get the new integration for 2015!

Launching any of those two templates will create a project that is like an introduction to the product and links to download it (similar to what the Azure templates do when you don’t have Azure SDK installed): In my case, I am using the Windows 10 Operating System and Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise edition.

Please close all the running instances of Visual Studio 2015. The experience basically is that now in VS 2015 you have two new templates for Android and iOS: I downloaded the Xamarin add-in to my Visual Studio 2013, and now my VS is trashed, because it appears to work ONLY with VS 2015. If you have already installed the Visual Studio 2015 and want to Install Xamarin then please follow these steps. That’s borne out by the upcoming release of Visual Studio, which will make it easier to add Xamarin tools to support iOS and Android development alongside Windows apps.”Īs a testament of our close collaboration with Microsoft, we shipped same-day support for Android Native C++ projects in VS 2015, as well as deep integration with Microsoft’s Hyper-V based Android Emulator. “We’re going to continue partnering deeply with Xamarin,” Somasegar says. “This doesn’t mean the work on cross-platform client-side. Microsoft is working on the initiative with the Mono community and the startup Xamarin, which de Icaza co-founded.” NET and make it possible to use Microsoft’s developer technologies to make software for - you guessed it - Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. Somasegar made the comments in an interview discussing the company’s plan to open-source. “Soma” Somasegar, the corporate vice president in charge of Microsoft’s Developer Division. “Miguel is still the man!” said an enthusiastic S. NET turnaround, Microsoft wants to create ‘one big family’ with open-source community “We are working very closely with the Xamarin guys on this.” “We will announce this and then take the next few months working with the Mono community,” Somasegar told me. “Unsurprisingly, the company plans to work with the Xamarin-sponsored Mono community, which already produces a cross-platform open source.
