How to build android bluefruit connect app on PC

Post by mjmeans »

I've only just started developing for Android. I'm using Visual Studio 2019 with Mono.Android and Xamarin.Forms. I've only run a "Hello World" type app at this point just to confirm that I can build, deploy and debug an Android app deployed to an old Android 6 RCA tablet with an Intel processor. This Hello World app is is in C#.

I was interested in learning how the Android side of the Bluefruit works and was hoping to be able to compile that source code, deploy and debug, so I looked at the Github repo for https://github.com/adafruit/Bluefruit_L ... Android_V2. I can see that the project clearly isn't written for Visual Studio. But the readme doesn't have any build instructions or even any development environment instructions. What is needed to built, deployed and debug this app?
