+3  Q: 

Is it possible to write apps for Android in C# ?

We all know that Android runs Dalvik VM programs.

Normally developers write programs in Java and they compile it to Dalvik bytecode.

I wonder if it would be possible to create a compiler that can take C# code and compile it into Dalvik bytecode.

+9  A: 

Well, that's one option - or you could just run it on Mono running on Android. This has already been done and the Mono team is now working on MonoDroid. I'm not sure of details yet - whether that will be running the Dalvik VM as well for UI, whether it will just be native, or whether it will be a .NET-to-Dalvik compiler.
