XobotOS is a Xamarin research project that semi-automatically ported Android 4.0 from Java/Dalvik to C#, exploring performance and memory benefits. Its main lasting output is a greatly enhanced version of the Sharpen Java-to-C# source translation tool.
Use cases
- port a large Java codebase to C#
- translate Java source code to C# automatically
- run Android framework code in C#
- study performance of C# versus Java/Dalvik
- convert Java generics-heavy code to C#
When to choose
- you need a mature Java-to-C# source translator for complex codebases
- you want to study how Android internals map to C#
When to avoid
- you want to build modern Android apps in C# (use Xamarin/.NET MAUI instead)
- you need maintained, supported software
- you want to run Android on devices today
