Horumarka tignoolajiyada ee dhawaantan laga sameeyay Mobilada^(Mobile) mobilada maalmahan, waxaan isticmaali karnaa taleefoonka si aan wax walba u samayno. Saamiga ugu wayn ee suuqa mobaylada waxa lagu hayaa Google's Android . Waxaa ku xiga Apple's iOS ka dibna Microsoft's Windows . Haddii aad tahay horumariye moobayl soo baxay, mar waxa laga yaabaa inaad la kulanto xaaladdan ugu muhimsan. Meesha aad rabto inaad ku socodsiiso app kaaga goob ka duwan kii loogu talagalay.

Laakiin barashada luuqad cusub, API-yada^(APIs) , iyo waxyaabo kale ayaa laga yaabaa inay u muuqdaan hawl adag waxayna kaa dhigi kartaa inaad ku dhegto goobtaada. Laakiin wax la yiraahdo Xamarin ayaa kaa caawin kara inaad dhisto barnaamijyo mobaylo ah oo isku dhafan kuwaas oo qaban kara ku dhawaad ​​​​la mid ah barnaamijyada waddaniga ah ee madal.

Waa maxay Xamarin

Xamarin waa shirkad software ah oo la asaasay sanadkii 2011. Dhawaan ayay ahayd 2016-kii markii ay la wareegtay Microsoft . Xamarin waxa ay siisaa horumariye qalab ka caawin kara in ay dhisaan barnaamijyada mobaylada ee isdhaafsan. Codsiyada waxay yeelan karaan dhammaan sifooyinka asalka ah waxayna sidoo kale wadaagaan codebase-ka caadiga ah isku mar. Sida ku cad Xamarin stats, in ka badan 15000 shirkadood ayaa ku tiirsan qalabkooda liiskana waxaa ku jira magacyo waaweyn oo badan.

Qalabka Xamarin^{(Xamarin tools)} ayaa diyaar u ah in lagu soo dejiyo Visual Studio oo waxaad si toos ah uga abuuri kartaa barnaamijyada Android , iOS iyo Windows ^{(Windows apps)}Visual Studio laftiisa. Inta badan koodka caadiga ah wuxuu ku qoran yahay C# . Markaa uma baahnid inaad barato Java , Objective-C ama Swift si aad u dhisto apps haddi aad hore u taqaanay C #. Haddii aad tahay bilow, ka dib qaadashada dariiqa Xamarin halkii aad ka isticmaali lahayd habka waxbarashada caadiga ah waxay dhab ahaantii ku bari kartaa horumarinta app-ka in ka badan hal goobood. Laakiin ma waayi doontaa shaqada dhabta ah ee asalka ah?

Jawaabta su'aashaas waxay u badan tahay Maya^(No) . Qaabka weyn ee ay bixiyaan agabka agabka oo dhan ayaa hubinaya inaadan seegin wax hawlqabad ah. Laakiin mar marka qaar, halkaas oo laga yaabaa in aad rabto in aad qoto dheer qoto dheer. Xamarin wuxuu kuu ogolaanayaa inaad wacdo kood jira oo ku qoran luqadaha kale ee gaarka ah sida Java ee Android . Laakin taasi waa marka aad dhiseyso shay gaar ah oo aan lagu fulin karin goobo kala duwan.

Xamarin waxay taageertaa aaladaha la^{(wearable devices)} xidhi karo sidoo kale. Waxaad u dhisi kartaa codsiyada asalka ah ee Android Wear iyo Apple Watch sidoo kale. Dukaanka qaybta Xamarin wuxuu kuu ogolaanayaa inaad ku darto hawlo badan abkaaga adigoo soo dejinaya plugins fudud. Waxaad si fudud ugu dhex dari kartaa codsigaaga inta badan taageerayaasha caanka ah sida Microsoft Azure , Parse iyo iwm. Waxaad ku dari kartaa hababka aqoonsiga ee caanka ah sidoo kale. Iyo sidoo kale, plugins si loogu daro taageerada biilasha iyo astaamo kale ayaa sidoo kale diyaar ah. Inta badan plugins-yada caanka ah waa iskutallaab laakiin madal plugins gaar ah ayaa sidoo kale la heli karaa, tusaale ahaan, plugin-ka taageerada biilasha Google Play .

Xamarin sidee u shaqeysaa

Tani waa su'aasha u gaarka ah ee ku saabsan madalkan. Haddaba, maxay asal ahaan Xamarin qabataa oo aad u qori kartaa kood guud ee aaladaha kala duwan? Heerka xididka, Xamarin wuxuu u beddelay dhammaan Android iyo iOS SDK ee hadda jira C # si aad ugu codayn karto luqad aad taqaan. Oo sida aad u isticmaali karto C # si aad u kood u geliso labada gooboodba, waxaad u baahan tahay inaad xasuusato wax ka yar syntax. Waxaad ku geli kartaa ku dhawaad ​​macruufka kasta ama Android API gudaha C # oo wata aaladaha Xamarin .

Hadda u imanaya UI keeda, UI aad ayuu u sii ahaanayaa. Waxaad u baahan tahay inaad u dhisto UI si gaar ah meelo kala duwan ka dibna ku xidh UI-da codebase-ka caadiga ah. Waa kan sawir laga soo qaaday mareegta Xamarin oo aan jeclaystay in aan idinla wadaago si aad si fiican ugu fahantaan waxa ka dhacaya hoostiisa.

Markaa, waxaad dhisi kartaa UI codsiga asalka ah ee dhabta ah. UI-yada noocan oo kale ah kaliya maaha inay siiyaan isticmaalaha dareenka loo baahan yahay laakiin sidoo kale abka waxay u dhaqmaan sidii inay yihiin abka hooyo ee caadiga ah. Hoos waxaa ku yaal koodka UI ee gaarka ah ee madal, waa koodka la wadaago ee C # kaas oo wacaya codebase-ka caadiga ah.

Dhab ahaantii waxaa jira laba siyaabood oo kala duwan oo loo dhiso UI. Waxaad isticmaali kartaa hababka asalka ah si aad u dhisto UI ama waxaad isticmaali kartaa Xamarin.Forms . Foomamka^(Forms) ayaa kuu oggolaanaya inaad u dhisto UI goobo kala duwan hal mar. Waxaa jira ku dhawaad ​​100% kood wadaaga haddi aad go'aansatid inaad ka doorato foomamka ^(Forms)tignoolajiyada UI Native^{(Native UI Technology)} .

Kadib markaad sameyso UI waxay timaadaa qaybta ugu adag taas oo aad u baahan tahay inaad ku xidho UI-ga codebase. Taasna waxaa mar labaad samayn kara laba xeeladood oo code wadaag ah oo loo yaqaan ' Mashruuc La Wadaago^{(Shared Project)} ' ama ' Libraries Classes Portable^{(Portable Class Libraries)} '.

Bilawga Xamarin

Hadda aan eegno sida gacmahaaga loo saaro arrintan cajiibka ah. Si aad Xamarin ugu isticmaasho Windows , waxaad u baahan tahay inaad ku rakibto Visual Studio. Waxaad ku soo dejisan kartaa Visual Studio Community lacag la'aan ama waxaad ku iibsan kartaa shatiga qaaliga ah haddii aadan horeba mid u haysan. U gudub xamarin.com^{(xamarin.com)} si aad^(Head) u soo dejiso Visual Studio , oo horey loogu habeeyay aaladaha Xamarin .

Visual Studio waa IDE -ga weyn ee Microsoft oo si weyn loogu isticmaalay horumarinta codsiyada Windows . Marka aad dhammayso rakibidda iyo dejinta Visual Studio , waxaad abuuri kartaa mashruuc cusub 'Cross Platform App' oo aad tagto. Waxaa laguu sheegi doonaa inaad doorato qaar ka mid ah dejinta oo aad samaysay. Visual Studio waxa laga yaabaa inay wakhti ku qaadato dejinta mashruucaaga.

Si aad wax badan u ogaato, waxaad akhrin kartaa dukumeenti asalka ah halkan^(here) . Sidoo kale, ku ciyaar agagaarka istuudiyaha oo fiiri faylalka caadiga ah ee mashruuca si aad dhab ahaantii u ogaato sida wax walba uga shaqeynayaan daboolka.

Jaamacadda Xamarin

Markaa, waxaad si qurux badan u xiisaynaysaa shaygan oo waxaad dareemaysaa in tani tahay mustaqbalka codsiyada mobilada. Hadii ay dhab ka tahay barashada Xamarin ama horumarka mobilada, waxaan kuu soo jeedinayaa inaad u fiirsato Jaamacada Xamarin^{(Xamarin University)} . Jaamacadda online-ka ah waxay bixisaa casharro online ah oo toos ah, 1: 1 isdhexgalka ardayda, hagidda khubarada Xamarin iyo qaar kale oo badan. Waxyaabo badan ayaa ku jira manhajka oo dhan waxaana hubaal ah inaad wax badan baran karto. Khidmadu waa mid la awoodi karo waxayna kugu kici kartaa meel ku dhow 83.25$/bishii si aad isku diwaangeliso koorsada. Halkan^(here) ka fiiri Jaamacadda Xamarin^{(Xamarin University)} .

Xamarin ma noqon kartaa shayga ku xiga ee horumarka mobilada? Ma kula tahay inay bedeli doonto hababka horumarinta caadiga ah ee jira? Aan sugno oo aan daawano. Halkaa marka ay marayso, waxa aad is baran kartaa Xamarin oo aad is arki kartaa in ay shaqaynayso iyo in kale.^{(Can Xamarin be the next big thing in the world of Mobile Development? Do you think it will replace the existing conventional development methods? Let’s wait and watch. In the meantime, you can get yourself familiarized with Xamarin and see for yourself whether it will work or not.)}

What is Xamarin? How does it help in cross-platform mobile app development?

With the recent technological advancemеnts in the Mobіle sphere these days, we can use a phone to do almost anything. The major mobіle market share іѕ held with Google’s Android. Followed by Apple’s iOS аnd then Microsoft’s Windowѕ. If you are a budding mobile developer, at a poіnt you may face this most crucial situation. Where уou would want tо run your apр on a platform dіfferent from which it was designed for.

But learning a new language, the APIs, and other stuff may seem a tedious task and it can make you stick to your platform. But something called Xamarin can help you build cross-platform mobile applications that can perform almost similar to the platform native applications.

What is Xamarin

Xamarin is a software company founded back in 2011. And it was recently in 2016 that it was acquired by Microsoft. Xamarin provides a developer with tools that can help them in building cross-platform mobile applications. The applications can have all the native features and also share the common codebase at the same time. As per Xamarin stats, more than 15000 companies rely on their tools and the list includes many big names out there.

Xamarin tools are available to download with Visual Studio and you can directly create Android, iOS and Windows apps from Visual Studio itself. Most of the common code is written in C#. So you don’t need to learn Java, Objective-C or Swift to build apps if you already know C#. If you are a beginner, then taking the Xamarin path instead of the conventional learning process can actually teach you app development for more than one platforms. But will you miss out on real native functionality?

The answer to that question is mostly No. The great set of features provided by the entire toolset makes sure you don’t miss out on any functionality. But at some point, where you might want to dig a lot deeper. Xamarin lets you call existing code written in other platform-specific languages such as Java in Android. But that is only when you are building something very specific which cannot be implemented on different platforms.

Xamarin supports wearable devices as well. You can build native applications for Android Wear and Apple Watch as well. The Xamarin component store lets you add more functionality to your apps by downloading simple plugins. You can easily integrate your application with most of the popular backends like Microsoft Azure, Parse and etc. You can add popular authentication methods as well. And also, plugins to add billing support and other features are available as well. Most of the popular plugins are cross-platform but platform specific plugins are available as well, for example, the Google Play billing support plugin.

How does Xamarin work

This is the most asked and peculiar question about this platform. So, what does basically Xamarin does that you can write a common code for different platforms? At the very root level, Xamarin has converted the entire existing Android and iOS SDK to C# so that you can code in a more familiar language. And as you can use C# to code for both the platforms, you need to remember less of syntax. You can access almost any iOS or Android API in C# with the Xamarin tools.

Now coming to its UI, the UI remains pretty much the same. You need to build the UI separately for different platforms and then bind the UI with the common codebase. Here is a picture from Xamarin website that I would like to share so that you can understand better what is happening under the hood.

So, you can build actual native application UI. Such UIs not only provide the user with required feel but also the apps behave as if they were normal native apps. Below the platform specific UI code, is the shared C# code that calls the common codebase.

There are actually two different ways to build the UI. You can use the original native methods to build the UI or you can use Xamarin.Forms. Forms let you build UI for different platforms all at once. There is almost 100% code sharing if you decide to choose Forms over Native UI Technology.

After doing the UI comes the most difficult part in which you need to connect the UI to the codebase. And that again can be done by two different code sharing strategies called ‘Shared Project’ or ‘Portable Class Libraries’.

Getting started with Xamarin

Now let’s check out how to lay your hands on this amazing thing. To use Xamarin on Windows, you need to install Visual Studio. You can download Visual Studio Community for free or purchase a premium license if you don’t have one already. Head over to xamarin.com to download Visual Studio, already configured with Xamarin tools.

Visual Studio is a great IDE by Microsoft that has been widely used to develop Windows applications. Once you are done with installing and setting up Visual Studio, you can create a new ‘Cross Platform App’ project and get going. You will be prompted to choose some settings and you are done. Visual Studio may take some time for setting up your project.

To know more, you can read the original documentation here. Also, play around the studio and check out the default files in the project to actually know how everything is working under the hood.

Xamarin University

So, you are pretty interested in this thing and you feel that this is the future of mobile applications. If you are serious about learning Xamarin or the mobile development, then I suggest you have a look at Xamarin University. The online university provides live online lectures, 1:1 student interaction, the guidance of Xamarin experts and a lot more. A lot of things are covered in entire curriculum and you can for sure learn a lot. The fee is pretty affordable and it can cost you somewhere around 83.25$/month to enroll in the course. Check out Xamarin University here.

Can Xamarin be the next big thing in the world of Mobile Development? Do you think it will replace the existing conventional development methods? Let’s wait and watch. In the meantime, you can get yourself familiarized with Xamarin and see for yourself whether it will work or not.
