[mono-android] Asp.Net MVC (3/4) on Mono for Android

[Bjorn Coltof]

Hi,

We have build a web application using MVC 4 that allows our clients to
upload custom razor views to tweak the output generated based on some
custom logic. We would like to create an offline version of this
application to run Android devices (tablets).

We would like our clients to able to use the same customizations for the
web version as the offline version. The most obvious way to allow this
(AFAIK) is to make an app that has an HTML view and then browses to itself
to generate the HTML/JS. I've been looking for the possibility to run
Asp.Net MVC on Mono for Android and all I can find is how to run it on mono
using a seperate web server (xsp4 for quick testing, mod-mono-server4.exe
for Apache hosting, fastcgi-mono-server4.exe for FastCGI servers), which is
not not an option on Android.

As the web side of the app is fairly simple (basically one controller that
hands of the to a backend service to generate the model), I'm contemplating
the option to use HttpListener and hosting MVC myself and I'm wondering
whether anyone has some experience hosting razor on M4A? Or would I be
embarking on a route set to fail?
