Develop for android with Visual studio

I just got an android phone and now I want to make an application for it in Visual studio. Is this possible?

I found a topic about it earlier but that topic was from 2010 might be that it's possible now?

If you're comfortable with C/C++, you can develop for Android with Visual Studio 2010. Using vs-android: http://code.google.com/p/vs-android/

Native android applications are written in java and associated textual files. Visual studio is certainly capable of editing these, and with some setup work launching the appropriate build tools or an ant script. But it's probably not particularly well suited to such work.

As other have mentioned, there are some alternative development languages/paths that may be a more natural fit for visual studio, but are a less natural fit (less native and/or less supported) for running on the android device - though the results may be sufficient for a given purpose.

Yes, you can use this:

Mono for android

Not sure it is a good idea though.

If you develop HTML5 and then use PhoneGap, it should be possible. There is also a mono port (.NET) to Android you can use to develop in .NET and then port over.
