Android programming using C#

I would like what are the available tools or options that i've in order to create an android application using C#.

I heard about Mono, that is some kind of visual studio made in Java right?

Here is another one: www.dot42.com

It compiles C# to Android deployable code (dex). It does not require a runtime such as Mono. Currently it supports Visual Studio 2010/2012 Professional. Working on SharpDevelop support.

No, Mono isn't not "Visual Studio made in Java" or anything similar.

Mono in general is a port of .NET (or rather, the underlying specifications) to MacOSX, Windows and Linux.

Additionally, there's MonoTouch which allows you to build iOS applications using C#, and Mono for Android which allows you to build Android applications using C#. With Mono for Android, you typically build your application in Visual Studio (or MonoDevelop if you're working on a Mac). Both MonoTouch and Mono for Android are commercial products, whereas Mono itself is free and open source.
