Today we're announcing our initial effort to make Activities in Android more friendly for .NET Developers. For now, we are calling it the ActivityController.

ActivityController is meant to act as a sort of replacement/proxy for AppCompatActivity. Currently, its primary purpose is to enable the use of async/await when using StartActivityForResult in an Activity, with the ability to survive the unpredictable lifecycle of activities on Android.

We're looking for dialog, feedback, suggestions, and contributions around this concept. The source code for the project can be found on GitHub here:

You can read more about this on the Xamarin Forums:
