Native development with xamarin

Question

I am just a beginner to Xamarin, Can any body explain me in more simple way here is the statements :-

Access to native APIs Allows you to create native apps with device-specific experiences.

Is it mean that whatever an Android developer can do in Java e.g everything about device api etc. I can do the same using Xamarin in C# ?

Answer 1

Access to native API's: Xamarin.Android allows access to the same native API's as a Java-developed app.

Allows you to create native apps with device-specific experiences: Xamarin.Android allows you to create apps that offer the same device-specific experience (look & feel, etc) as native apps.
