Writing Android apps in C#

Question

I'm a C# programmer and want to write an Android app. I'm a stubborn curmudgeon and refuse to write Java ever again (after switching to C# six years ago).

Besides Mono and MonoDroid (and writing Java), are there any options for me? Or should I just feel foolish for refusing to returning to my Java roots?

(Please refrain from Java-related vs. C# discussion. I was being rhetorical when I asked about returning to me Java roots.)

Answer 1

I believe that this is basically the only option for c# developers.

Answer 2

MonoDroid is worth the wait,

Answer 3

Another option is Scala. I'm not sure what the tooling is like right now though.

Answer 4

Since you are a dedicated C# developer, I think that MonoDroid is the right answer for you. MonoDroid Preview 1 has been released 2 days ago, so there won't be long until the beta and full release.
