Hello all, Glad xamarin is now alive and wish you good luck with your job, hope also someone could give a review of my problem and comment my questions.
Our main interest in monodroid is that we have wellestablished .net WM application with quite big and complex 'business' logic codebase. For sure we would like to review the opportunity to keep as much c# code shared as we can. The core of our .net "library" makes some heavy calculations/processings (which are quite platform independent) and require relatively intensive data throughoutput. Our current idea is to keep this library running in monodroid as an android service (and by this share the main "heavy" buisness logic code between WM/android projects), and to create a UI wrapper. (it most probably will be in native java). Service should interact with Bluetooth hardware (taking the input data), and give the output data to the UI part (for display, etc). Therefore there are two questions: Is it possible to work with android BT API directly from monodroid code? How efficient it'll be in terms of data transfers? I mean since monodroid creates wrappers for Input/Output-Streams (does it?) how well stream.read and stream.write will map data? The amounts of data is not high (several bytes), but the request/response rate with BT hardware is required to be as fast as possible. (normally its up to 50Hz). Won't read/write serialization between dalvik/mono be a bottleneck here? Second question is service <-> UI interaction part. Normally this is done with AIDL in java.. I haven't found any words on aidl support in monodroid. Guess it could be implemented 'manually' - is there any experience exist in this area? Igor
