How to do the UI for Android in Xamarin Starter Edition with VisualStudio 2015 Community?

Thanks in advance!

I haven't tried the free VisualStudio 2015 Community Edition, but I know that it has Xamarin Starter Edition included. I read that it has Xamirin.Android/iOS but not Xamarin.Forms, also that there are certain restrictions.

  1. I wonder how to do the UI in the Starter Edition if it doesn't include Xamarin.Forms. What technology is being used to do the UI in this case (for Android)? Is it MVVM oriented?

  2. If it is somehow possible to do the UI for Android in the starter edition, what UI development approach/pattern is best, so that it's best to migrate to Xamarin.Forms later on? Is it classic MVVM? Or may be it's even easier, so that I will be able to use the same say XAML code...

You are able to design a fully native Android UI using Xamarin. Read the tutorial.

If you want to use the MVVM pattern then you should consider using MvvmCross. Read the tutorials, see the sample codes or watch the N+1 videos.
