### Nuget packages used

### Initializations and Configurations

##### Android project

- MainActivity.cs

```c#
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{         
// ...
    Plugin.CurrentActivity.CrossCurrentActivity.Current.Init(this, bundle);
// ...
}

public override void OnRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, string[] permissions, Permission[] grantResults)
{
	PermissionsImplementation.Current.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
	base.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}
```

- AssemblyInfo.cs (Add storage permission)

```c#
[assembly: UsesPermission(Android.Manifest.Permission.WriteExternalStorage)]
```

### Model source code

```c#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace ExportDataToExcel.Models
{
    public class XFDeveloper
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string FullName { get; set; }
        public string Phone { get; set; }
    }
}

```

### Service which provide List items

```c#
using ExportDataToExcel.Models;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace ExportDataToExcel.Services
{
    public class XFDeveloperService
    {
        public static List<XFDeveloper> GetAllXamarinDevelopers()
        {
            List<XFDeveloper> developers = new List<XFDeveloper>
