Note:: The Xamarin.Android 5.1.77 series has been superseded by Xamarin.Android 5.1.7, which contains a binding of the final Android M preview, which Google says is final and stable.

THE Xamarin.Android 5.1.77 SERIES IS OBSOLETE

The Xamarin.Android 5.1.77 series contains preview bindings for Android 5.1 and the Android M Developer Preview.

Note: Xamarin.Android 5.1.77 requires JDK 1.7. JDK 1.6 may be used when targeting API-19 and lower.

In order to deploy to an Android MNC device and use Android MNC APIs, Properties\AndroidManifest.xml must be updated to set the android:minSdkVersion and android:minSdkVersion values to MNC:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="MNC" android:targetSdkVersion="MNC" />

There is currently no IDE support for setting this; it may be provided in a future IDE release.

Note: Xamarin.Android 5.1.77 will never be a stable release, so don't wait for it. I have little faith that there won't be API changes to API-M before it becomes stable...whenever it becomes stable...

The v5.2 target framework API is unstable, and will change until API-M becomes a properly stable API-23.

Xamarin.Android 5.1.77-8 updates the bindings to use Android M Developer Preview 2.

Xamarin.Android 5.1.77-0 is based on Xamarin.Android 5.1.4, and binds Android M Developer Preview 1
