In Brief: This article will help you on building a simple calculator in android Xamarin with simple steps using C# Language in Visual Studio.
Detail:
Building this simple calculator will let you learn how to work with the Android Buttons, Text View and simple functions. The UI is not so beautiful but is a great way to learn the basic functionalities.
Steps:
1. Edit the Main.axml file.
The code in Main.axml file

2. Preview the design in the designer mode in Visual Studio.
3. The code portion that will perform the events is written in the MainActivity.cs File.
4. Edit the MainActivity.cs File.
5. Add the following References
using Android.App; using Android.Widget; using Android.OS; using System; using System.Data;
6. Write the code
The code in MainActivity.cs is below
using Android.App;
using Android.Widget;
using Android.OS;
using System;
using System.Data;
namespace CalculatorApp
{
[Activity(Label = "CalculatorApp", MainLauncher = true, Icon = "@drawable/icon")]
