In order to complete this walkthrough, you will need: The high-level binding approach is similar to the binding process of regular Java libraries with a few important Kotlin specific steps. Later in 2019, Google announced that the Kotlin programming language would became its preferred language for Android app developers.

Kotlin was released in February 2016 and was positioned as an alternative to the standard Java compiler into Android Studio by 2017. The goal of this document is to outline a high-level approach for addressing this scenario and provide a detailed step-by-step guide with a simple example. Even though the Kotlin binding process is similar to Java, it requires additional steps and configuration settings to successfully build and run as part of a Xamarin.Android application. There are a number of 3d party SDKs, which have already been migrated from Java to Kotlin and it presents us with new challenges. The Android platform, along with its native languages and tooling, are constantly evolving, including the recent introduction of the Kotlin language, which is set eventually to replace Java. In order to incorporate a third-party Android framework into your Xamarin.Android application, you need to create a Xamarin.Android binding for it before you can use it in your applications. You can use the Android platform SDK components out of the box but in many cases you also want to use third-party SDKs written for that platform and Xamarin allows you to do it via bindings. Xamarin enables mobile developers to create cross-platform native mobile apps using Visual Studio and C#. Please take this survey to inform future development efforts. We're currently investigating custom binding usage on the Xamarin platform.
