Binding .AAR that contains Realm Android Xamarin

Question

I'm trying to bind an AAR library to a Xamarin android project.

Using jar2xml as AndroidClassParser in the binding project the main issue that i have is the fact that the AAR library contains a realm DB, realm creates some proxy interfaces that contains some variables with a $ inside the variable name, this result in this error

CS1056 Unexpected character '$'

instead using class-parse as AndroidClassParser result in other error such as this

CS0111 Already defines a member called 'Translate' with the same parameter types

this is the java code that raise the CS0111 error

public interface ModelTranslator<T extends DomainClass, S> {

    S translate(T from);

    void translate(T from, S to);

    T translate(S from);

    void translate(S from, T to);

}

is there a way to fix this?

EDIT: I have fixed most of the issue inside Metadata.xml

the only things that remains to fix is a class that extends Comparator converting this class result in this error.

CS0534 C# does not implement inherited abstract member

but the class implement everything that is present inside Comparator

Can anyone please tell which aar is used in Realm for Xamarin Android Bindings? — Adit Kothari

This answer might help you Unexpected Character $ - Java Binding error

If you do need this member, define a rename transformation in metadata like this: " name="managedName">ValidNameHere.
