Some of the wonderful apps Mono for Android developers have created are featured in our App Showcase.

Write beautiful code.

With Mono for Android, you can harness the full power of C# and .NET. Write shorter, simpler, and more maintainable code using features like LINQ, anonymous types, lambdas and more. 

from p in Table<Person> ()
    where p.ID == id
    select p;

LINQ Support

Use LINQ in your Mono for Android projects to query, filter and select data from in-memory arrays, or from databases such as SQLite. 

var doc = XDocument.Load(url);
foreach(var item in doc.Root.Elements()) {
    var text = item.Value;
}

Work With XML Easily

Handling XML is quick and easy thanks to the built-in XDocument class - just one of the thousands of .NET APIs available when you use Mono for Android. 

button.Click += (s, o) => {
    message.Text = "Hello!";
};

Event Handling & Delegates

Easily handle button presses and other UI events. 

from item in items.AsParallel ()
   let result = DoExpensiveWork (item)
   select result;
