I want to develop some web pages in Android using Visual Studio. The version of VS is 2013 Professional running on Windows 10. What should I install to get Android on VS?

Many thanks!

    Well I searched and what I found didn't work for me. For example I tried xamarin but it gave me error at install. So? – Ionut Nov 19 '15 at 09:29
  • I'm confused here. If you want to develop web pages, you don't need Xamarin, and it won't matter whether you want the page to be opened in any OS with modern browser. Do you want to develop PlayStore apps, or a website that can be opened from an Android? – Martheen Nov 19 '15 at 09:45
  • A website which can be opened from Android. It is kind of a industrial app. I mean that web pages I build I want to be seen fine on a smartphone. And I thought to make it directly on Android. – Ionut Nov 19 '15 at 10:34

Use google chrome emulation https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/device-mode or configure remote debugging if you need real device test: https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging

  • Many thanks for your reply, but I need to develop my app in VS. – Ionut Nov 19 '15 at 09:37
  • You'll develop your app in visual studio and then debug it in google chrome. – Access Denied Nov 19 '15 at 09:38
  • And to develop it, don't I need Android plugin for VS? – Ionut Nov 19 '15 at 09:40
  • As I see in your question you are developing website on ASP.NET, if not you need cordova. – Access Denied Nov 19 '15 at 09:41
  • Cordova https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42675. Android SDK https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other – Access Denied Nov 19 '15 at 09:43
  • Exactly, I'm gonna use ASP.NET. So I need to install Android Studio? If yes can I link vs project with android studio? Or how? Sorry for so many questions but I'm new in this domain. Many thanks! – Ionut Nov 19 '15 at 10:03
  • You don't need android studio and android in VS. Use device emulation like I mentioned in my answer. – Access Denied Nov 19 '15 at 10:06
  • Well thank you but don't know if I can develop the kind of app I must do it. It is kind of a industrial app. I mean that web pages I build I want to be seen fine on a smartphone. And I thought to make it directly on Android. – Ionut Nov 19 '15 at 10:32
  • It seems there's a misunderstanding here. A smartphone browser is just like any other browser, you might need to account for specific capabilities, but otherwise it's just a browser. You can develop any site for any browser using any framework.The Chrome emulation mentioned in the answer will be the only thing you need. The developed site would also be perfectly fine when opened in iOS or WP. When you're using the remote debugging mentioned, your website will be opened on your actual android device directly, no Android Studio needed. Same goes for chrome emulation. – Martheen Nov 20 '15 at 02:45
  • Ok. Many thanks for your reply! – Ionut Nov 20 '15 at 07:16
