c# - xamarin binding objective c library -

i want bind objective c library (for using cable) in xamarin. new xamarin platform, can me convert below .h file "apidefinition.cs" in xamarin binding project.

#import <uikit/uikit.h>  #ifndef cable_  #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> #endif @protocol cablemanagerdelegate;  /*      protocol), describes main interface cable socket manager layer.      use, call factory method below [cablemanager sharedinstance]   */ @protocol cablemanagerprotocol <nsobject> // set delegate cable connect callbacks -(void)setdelegate:(id < cablemanagerdelegate >) delegate;  -(bool)iscableconnected;  -(nsstring *)getaccessoryfirmwareversion;  @end  @protocol cablemanagerdelegate <nsobject>  //cable connected - (void) cableconnected:(nsstring *)protocol;  // cable disconnected and/or application moved background - (void) cabledisconnected; @end   @interface cablemanager : nsobject  + (id < cablemanagerprotocol >)sharedinstance;  @end 

can't write you, sample below general pattern can learn more in guide linked below. 1 of key challenges going making sure callback on delegate fires. map this, check out "binding protocols" section.

apidefinition.cs

using monotouch.objcruntime; using monotouch.foundation; using system;  namespace mynamespace {   [basetype (typeof (nsobject))]   interface myobjcwrapper   {     [export("initwitharg1:arg2:arg3:")]     void constructor(string first, string second, string third);      [export("myselectortaking1arg:")] // note colon, takes 1 arg     void dosomethingwith1arg(string filepath);      [export("getsomething")] // note no colon, takes 0 args     int getsomething(); } 

to complete binding, should add native library project. can adding native library project, either dragging , dropping native library finder onto project in solution explorer, or right-clicking project , choosing add > add files select native library. native libraries convention start word "lib" , end extension ".a". when this, xamarin studio add 2 files: .a file , automatically populated c# file contains information native library contains:

you end file (liblibraryname.linkwith.cs):

using system; using monotouch.objcruntime;  [assembly: linkwith ("liblibraryname.a", smartlink = true, forceload = true)]
