9781484202159 English 1484202155 The Xamarin tool suite, Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS, is a bridge from .NET into the world of native mobile development. These tools give C# developers a direct line into native Android and iOS development, allowing them to build business apps for the Google Play and iTunes app stores. Xamarin Design Patterns helps a developer navigate Android and iOS architecture using .NET. Mobile development makes frequent use of traditional patterns such as MVC, MVVM, Delegates, and Singleton. Pattern-savvy readers will find familiar .NET foundations here with logical bridges into mobile platform-specific implementations. Newcomers to design patterns will find a mobile pattern guidebook. The iOS UI must still be written in Xcode. The Android UI rests on Activities. How are all of these built on a variation of the familiar MVC pattern? The reader will learn about mobile data binding and decoupling of UI and back-end logic for cross-platform code reuse. Application lifecycles on native platforms are unique as mobile and tablet apps spawn, live, pause, and die. The reader will learn how code must respond to changes in state and manage data transfer between views. Web services are the mainstay of mobile data and this is a primer for cross-platform client/service construction. It also explores background data-loading techniques and offline access using local data structures: blueprints for the mobile data layer. This comprehensive recipe and reference book addresses one of the most important and vexing problems in the software industry today: How do we effectively design and develop cross-platform native mobile applications? What you'll learn The important design patterns in Xamarin mobile development How mobile apps differ from traditional web and desktop apps Key design concepts in native mobile apps written in .NET Details about specifics of the primary mobile platforms to maximize portability and code reuse Who this book is for C#, ASP.NET developers, architects, and technical managers as well as many Android and iOS developers, The Xamarin tool suite, Xamarin.Forms, Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS, is a bridge from .NET into the world of native mobile development. They give C# developers a direct line into native Android, iOS, and Windows Phone development, allowing them to build business apps for the Google Play and iTunes app stores. Use this book to navigate and excel at cross-platform mobile app development using .NET. Learn how to leverage Xamarin.Forms to optimize cross-platform development using the most common UI pages, layouts, views, controls, and UI patterns. Combine these with platform-specific UI to craft visually stunning and highly interactive mobile user experience. Data binding and decoupling of UI and business logic are key techniques for mobile app development and cross-platform code reuse. Blueprints for the mobile data layer involve background data-loading and offline access using local data structures synchronized using web services. This comprehensive recipe and reference book addresses one of the most important and vexing problems in the software industry today: How do we effectively design and develop cross-platform native mobile applications? What you'll learn How to build world-class mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone using C# The latest Xamarin techniques for cross-platform UI using Xamarin.Forms When and how to use platform-specific features such as UI and gesture handling Data-binding, local data access, data synchronization, and web services for mobile apps Cross-platform architecture and design to maximize portability and code reuse Who this book is for C#, ASP.NET developers, architects, and technical managers as well as many Android and iOS developers, Xamarin Mobile Application Development is a hands-on Xamarin.Forms primer and a cross-platform reference for building native Android, iOS, and Windows Phone apps using C# and .NET. This book explains how to use Xamarin.Forms, Xamarin.Android, and Xamarin.iOS to build business apps for your customers and consumer apps for Google Play and the iTunes App Store. Learn how to leverage Xamarin.Forms for cross-platform development using the most common UI pages, layouts, views, controls, and design patterns. Combine these with platform-specific UI to craft a visually stunning and highly interactive mobile user experience. Use Xamarin.Forms to data bind your UI to both data models and to view models for a Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) implementation. Use this book to answer the important question: Is Xamarin.Forms right for my project? Platform-specific UI is a key concept in cross-platform development, and Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS are the foundation of the Xamarin platform. Xamarin Mobile Application Development will cover how to build an Android app using Xamarin.Android and an iOS app using Xamarin.iOS while sharing a core code library. SQLite is the database-of-choice for many Xamarin developers. This book will explain local data access techniques using SQLite.NET and ADO.NET. Build a mobile data access layer (DAL) using SQLite and weigh your options for web services and enterprise cloud data solutions. This book will show how organize your Xamarin code into a professional-grade application architecture. Explore solution-building techniques from starter-to-enterprise to help you decouple your functional layers, manage your platform-specific code, and share your cross-platform classes for code reuse, testability, and maintainability. Also included are 250+ screenshots on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone and 200+ C# code examples with downloadable C# and XAML versions available from Apress.com. This comprehensive recipe and reference book addresses one of the most important and vexing problems in the software industry today: How do we effectively design and develop cross-platform mobile applications?
