Using .NET Code from Android Studio with Embeddinator-4000
summary
Embeddinator-4000 takes a C# library and produces C and Java bindings, creating a native .so and an .aar that can be added to an Android Studio Gradle project. The demo builds a Greeting.dll, generates Java wrappers, adds the .aar, and runs a greeting on a device, showing runtime embedding and native hosting work, but the tool is immature: incomplete BCL bindings, missing members, problems with generics and pointers, and a limitation of one Android runtime (AR) per app causing conflicts.
