I have Xamarin installed on the Visual Studio 2013 on Windows Operating System. It works fine.

There is Xamarin tools in VS2013 as follows:

My problem is as follows:

I have recently installed Visual Studio 2015 on my desktop on Windows operating system. I thought when I opened the VS2015, I expected to see the Xamarin in it, but it does not. Then I installed the Xamarin again, and again and again, but still Xamarin does not show up in VS2015.

I wonder what is wrong? What am I missing?
By the way, I still have VS2013 on my desktop.

No Xamarin tools in VS 2015 as follows:

I even tried the following approach, still no luck.

Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features Choose Xamarin

Click Change -> Next -> Click the desired drop down for each items in the tree view and select "Will be installed on local hard drive."

Click Next

I am even getting the following screen when installation is completed, but still I could not able to see Xamarin in VS2015.

Visual Studio 2015 is little bit different from 2013 version, I am also using xamarin on visual studio 2015. But that is not listed under tools menu like 2013.

Maybe developers had changed that, you can go to "start a new project"(just like you start new app development), there you can find xamarin/android projects list, there you can start new android projects.
