Hello

I am working on a ASP.NET mvc project in Visual Studio 2015, and I have now been required to convert my project into an android mobile application which saves data in the same database using API's .

How would you suggest I go about doing that?

What I have tried:

I've researched a way to use Xamarin studio but I can't seem to find a way to connect to the same database as the main MVC project using API's.

You don't "connect" to the database from the mobile app. You GET/POST data through a web API and it references the database. If you need to have a database on the mobile device, you may want to check out SQLite. In general, you should be able to reference your business objects (Models) from the mobile app and get/post them through the routes in your controller.
