By Mauritian what do you mean?? An example?

I know MauriSystem design both tailor-made application and custom made app. You can have a look there.

It is the Sole Distributor of Android phone in the Indian Ocean.

@moricien : I meant apps that have been designed for the people of Mauritius. For example, an app that would let you see the weather forecast in Mauritius, or the hot news here.

There exists no good app by Mauritian for Mauritian yet. If you want to pay someone to create an app, then any Java developer can make that happen. Knowledge seven is one such company.

You can also create android apps using C#/Vb.net with MonoDroid. But yeah, no real apps for the Mauritian people yet.

Java is more popular among android developers though. Many tutorials are available on-line in Java which teach you the basics to code an app.
Such a website is: h t t p ://w w w.codingforandroid.c o m /

@sk29 : yep, java is the preferred language for developing android apps but luckily for us .net programmers, there are things like monodroid which allows us to use Visual Studio as our IDE and code in C#, thus not having to learn a new language :D

I would advise you to go to UTM and look for the lecturer Mr.Sodul if you want decent apps. He makes these things. He currently works at Orange.
