Xamarin Android Talk - Sydney - April

Here are some notes from the group decision that evolved during my talk.

Picasso - Android Image loading lib

https://github.com/mattleibow/square-bindings

Cross platform Xamarin Image Loader

https://github.com/molinch/FFImageLoading

Android Support Libraries

The Support Libraries are all Xamarin support and downloadable from NuGet. Documentation is here. http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/features.htmlxx

Key Material Design support libraries

When working with Material, the AppCompat and Design libraries are the main things to watch work. The v7 support library also backports some Lollipop controls like SnackBar and Cards.

Guides

If you're looking for a collection of guide for Android check out https://github.com/codepath/android_guides/wiki all the guide are in Java, so some work is needed to Xamarin-fry them. The repo is better than searching StackOverflow.

Status Bar color Bug

If you have the Issue with the status bar color not working in AppCompat. It looks like there is a bug https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=26247

More to come

I will flesh out the examples more and upload them to GitHub when I can stay posted for updates on that.

Other things

StackSort

We can thank Geoffrey for this little nuget. In a recent xkcd's alt text, Randall Munroe suggested stacksort, a sort that searches StackOverflow for sorting functions and runs them until it returns the correct answer. So, I made it. If you like running arbitrary code in your browser, try it out. https://gkoberger.github.io/stacksort/
