Anatomy of a Windows Phone Store App

UI & CONTROLS

Converged controls 80% exact same XAML 20% custom CommonSignature Optimized DatePicker TimePicker CommandBar Butto n CheckBo x RadioButto n ProgressBa r Slider ToggleSwitc h Hub Pivot ListView GridView SysTray

Text Handling Controls TextBlock Displays text Supports line breaks and word wrapping RichTextBlock Paragraphs, spans, and runs allow for formatting sections of the rich text TextBox Fully templatable Header property Supports spell-checking, placeholder text, text-prediction and input scope for on-screen keyboards, multi-line support PasswordBox Obscures text entry Supports placeholder text and templateable Header

Input scope

ProgressRing and ProgressBar Important! You must deactivate progress rings and progress bars when not visible. There’s a performance penalty if you do not.

DatePicker / TimePicker Same API on Windows and Windows Phone Appropriate UI for platform Allows restricting to individual segments (show only month/year for example)

Flyouts

Windows Phone System UI

Differences from Windows Top AppBar not supported AppBar not shown by a gesture Can still set Visibility = "Collapsed" to hide, but when visible, AppBar is not transient on Phone Equivalent to IsOpen="true" at all times On Windows, Top and Bottom AppBar is transient and considered user UI Can display AppBar minimized on Windows Phone Use Not supported on big Windows Converged XAML but certain properties/events ignored on Phone IsSticky property, used on Windows to disable the light-dismiss behaviour and keep AppBar visible Opened and Closed events, which on Windows fires when the AppBar displays/disappears AppBarSeparator not rendered on Windows Phone Used on Windows to render a separator bar onto the AppBar

PAGE NAVIGATION

Windows, Frames and Pages Window Frame Page Window

Navigation Bar Back Key Standard Windows Phone UX is to use Back key to navigate back or close transient UI By default, Back key causes a navigation back to the previous App – not Page! In Windows Phone Store apps, you must include code to override this to cause a backwards navigation within the app Differs from Windows Phone Silverlight – within an app, backwards page navigation is default for that framework With correct Back key handling, pressing the Back key on the launch page suspends the current app and navigates back to previous app Differs from Windows Phone Silverlight – Closes the current app in that framework

Overriding the Back Key on a Page public sealed partial class SecondPage : Page {... protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e) { Windows.Phone.UI.Input.HardwareButtons.BackPressed += HardwareButtons_BackPressed; } protected override void OnNavigatedFrom(NavigationEventArgs e) { Windows.Phone.UI.Input.HardwareButtons.BackPressed -= HardwareButtons_BackPressed; } async void HardwareButtons_BackPressed(object sender, Windows.Phone.UI.Input.BackPressedEventArgs e) { e.Handled = true; // We've handled this button press // If the secondary UI is visible, hide it if (SecondaryUI.Visibility == Visibility.Visible ) { FadeOutSecondaryStoryboard.Begin(); } else { // Standard page backward navigation if (Frame.CanGoBack) Frame.GoBack(); }

Saving and Restoring Page State on Navigation Common scenario: User navigates to a Page that allows data entry. On first visit, the page is new, no data entered. The user interacts with the page, fills in some data. They navigate forward to another page for some purpose, then navigate back. They expect the page to be in the same state as when they left it. With NavigationCacheMode.Disabled, a new instance is created when navigating back – original page state is lost. With NavigationCacheMode.Enabled or Required, cached page is re-used so original page state is retained. But it’s also still there on a forward navigation to the same page type in the future. Page 1Page 2Page 3 new ?

Navigation overrides OnNavigatedTo Called when the user navigates to this page Load data, populate fields, wire-up event handlers, etc. OnNavigatedFrom Called when this page is no longer active in the frame, typically when a user navigates away Do any tear-down in this method

TILES & NOTIFICATIONS

WNS

MechanismScenarioExpiresWinRT API Local Update a tile immediately, while the app is running or from a background task Never TileUpdateManager tileUpdater.Update() Scheduled Update a tile once, at a specific date and time. E.g., tomorrow at 4pm 3 days TileUpdateManager tileUpdater.AddToSchedule() Periodic Update a tile by polling a remote URI on an interval. E.g., every 30 minutes 3 days TileUpdateManager tileUpdater.StartPeriodicUpdate() Push Update a tile immediately, by sending a push notification from your server -or- Send a Raw notification to wake a background task that triggers a tile update 3 daysPushNotificationChannelManager How can I send tile updates?

WINDOWS RUNTIME FOR WINDOWS PHONE DEVELOPERS

Existing Code Investment Existing Install Base Not yet converged Camera Lenses VoIP Lock Screen Wallpaper. Clipboard API Simple Sound Effects (XNA) Run Under Lock Screen Why stay on Windows Phone Silverlight?

Why Retarget to Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1

Why choose the Windows Runtime?

Asynchronous Programming async void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { var service = new WebService(); this.Data = await services.FetchDataAsync(); this.Flag = FlagStates.Green; }

// create folder // Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation; var folder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder; var subfolder = await folder.CreateFolderAsync("MyFolder", Windows.Storage.CreationCollisionOption.OpenIfExists); // create file var file = await subfolder.CreateFileAsync("MyFile.txt", Windows.Storage.CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting); // write await Windows.Storage.FileIO.WriteTextAsync(file, "Hello Build!"); // read var content = await Windows.Storage.FileIO.ReadTextAsync(file); // var = new Message(); .Subject = "File is attached"; .To.Add(new .Attachments.Add(new Attachment(file.Name, file)); await Manager.ShowComposeNew Async( );

So, you’ve chosen WinRT. There’s something you should know.

What, no MessageBox? var ok = new UICommand("ok", x => { /* TODO */ }); var cancel = new UICommand("cancel"); var dialog = new MessageDialog("message", "title"); dialog.Commands.Add(ok); dialog.Commands.Add(cancel); await dialog.ShowAsync();

Huh? Silverlight 8.1 Apps Run in “Modern Context”

SL 8.0 apps will run on 8.1 phones 100% binary compatible Upgrading 8.0 app to 8.1 Not 100% source compatible App Compatibility

Documentation with full list CLR/Silverlight bug fixes Modern context behavior differences Fast App Resume (FAR) is enabled by default (resume vs replace) Hitting back ‘does’ terminate the app just like Silverlight 8.0 Upgrade Breaking Changes

Justin 5/23/2013 It’s fun, but can take a little time to get used to. My only complaint is that the songs in the game are low quality midis. Would be great to get better music to go with the game play! Send Lara 5/22/2013 The game was great when it worked, but kept crashing in the middle of my game. Lara 5/22/2013 Awesome game! Can’t wait for the next level to come out. It would also be really cool if I could see how my top score compares to my friends. Respond Lara 5/22/2013 The game was great when it worked, but kept crashing in the middle of my game. Respond Hi Justin, Thanks so much for your feedback on my app! I've worked on your comment and updated to higher quality music in the latest version. Please update the app and let me know your thoughts on my music choices! -John Respond
