## What it is
A collection of sample projects demonstrating .NET for Android, showing how to use Android API wrappers from C#. Samples are indexed in Microsoft's sample galleries and include screenshots and README metadata for browsing.

## Use cases
- learn how to call Android APIs from C#
- find example code for .NET Android features
- get started building Android apps with .NET
- see working sample projects for Android API wrappers
- reference sample app structure for .NET Android submissions

## When to choose
- you are a .NET/C# developer learning Android development
- you need concrete example code for a specific Android API in .NET
- you want starter projects to adapt for your own Android app

## When to avoid
- you need production-ready application code rather than demos
- you develop Android in Java/Kotlin without .NET
- you need comprehensive documentation instead of sample snippets

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, sdk
- domain: mobile-development, tutorials, cross-platform, developer-tools
- platform: dotnet, c
- tags: android-samples, dotnet-for-android, csharp, sample-code, xamarin, maui, android
