Notes
I used a windows laptop with Hyper-V installed for developing the app. It is well known that Hyper-V conflicts with the emulator created in Android Studio. I was not able to start android emulator from Android Studio. Eventually I used Android emulator from Visual Studio to test the app. It worked well for Android Studio to connect to the Visual Studio Android emulator. One shortcoming is that I was not able to find a way to enable the soft keyboard on the Visual Studio Android emulator.
