Using C# and Unreal Engine for Mobile Apps

Hi,

We have a complex application written in C#. We’d like to front this with Unreal to provide rendering and UI, but rewriting the underlying logic in C++ is a non-starter for commercial reasons.

**We’ve already got a windows C# DLL loading dynamically into Unreal, but we’re stuck on doing the same for Android. The data being passed are simple types and strings, so we can handle managed/unmanaged code interfaces and memory ourselves. **

So, there are really two questions here:-

  • Is is possible to create the equivalent of a DLL for Android from C# source and load them dynamically into Unreal Engine. If so:

    • has anyone done this?

    • is there an example of the C# project settings required?

    • **is there an example of the C++ code to load it into Unreal? **

  • If this is not possible, can we link statically from Unreal to C# sources, and how would we do this?
