  6. Navigation • PhoneApplicationFrame • PhoneApplicationPage

  7. PhoneApplicationPage • More than the container for units of navigation • OnChooserReturn • OnOrientationChanged • OnNavigatedFrom • OnNavigatedTo • OnBackKeyPress

  8. Back key • Lets the user to return to previously-viewed screens • Can go back across applications • Not used for application-specific behaviour

  9. Application Navigation

  10. Application events • Obscuring • Activation

  11. a world of constant interruptions phone calls low battery lock screen reminders App switch txt msgs :-)

  12. basic application lifetime • Splash screen • App constructor • Startup event • Exit event • Obscured • Paused

  13. Not in the Mix build obscured: popup ui from shell • Phone call • Reminder • Battery low Games could auto-pause Game could auto-resume What if they answer the phone?

  14. Not in the Mix build paused: jump to another app • Start Button • Accept call • Open toast Load state to continue where you left off User never knows what happened :-) Assume your process is killed Save state for later use

  15. Pause and Exit

  16. Windows Phone Controls

  17. Panorama

  18. Panorama

  19. Pivot

  20. ApplicationBar & SystemTray • SystemTray • No integration, but does affect Layout • Show:Hide using SystemTray.IsVisible • ApplicationBar • Buttons (up to 4) • Menu Items ( recommend 6) • Toggle: • <mypage>.ApplicationBar.IsVisible

  21. Web Browser Control • Displays network and local content • Supports pan, double tap and pinch to zoom • Supports transforms & projections • No Input on transform • Application can interact with javascript • Optimized for privacy • Script is disabled by default • Cookies and cache are isolated

  22. Silverlight to Script Silverlight string out = wb.InvokeScript("runScriptStuff", arg1, arg2); javascript function runScriptStuff(arg1, arg2) { return “awesome”; }

  23. Script to Silverlight Silverlight void wb_ScriptNotify(object s, NotifyEventArgs e) { string return = e.Value; } javascript window.external.Notify(string);

  24. Web Browser Control

  25. MultiScaleImage ( aka deepzoom) • Included in core run-time • Optimized to take advantage of GPU • Consumes same content as SL on desktop • Supported for Online content • not isolated storage or embedded content • No oob gesture support • Manipulation APIs make this easy though

  26. OS and hub integration

  27. Integrating with the OS • Hub integration • Enhance the built in hubs with your application • Launchers let you fire and forget to an OS app • SMS, email, web browser, maps, dialer, search, etc • Choosers are like an open file dialog • Launches an OS experience for letting the user choose data for the app • Picture, contact, camera, etc

  28. Launchers & Choosers Choosers Launchers • CameraCaptureTask • MarketplaceLauncher • MediaPlayerLauncher • PhoneCallTask • SaveEmailAddressTask • SavePhoneNumberTask • SearchTask • EmailComposeTask • SMSComposeTask • WebBrowserTask • PhoneNumberChooserTask • PhotoChooserTask • EmailAddressChooserTask

  29. Launchers

  30. Isolated Storage • Compatible APIs with Silverlight on desktop • No quota limits • Not shared (ever) • No write access to Media Library, use XNA for that • Use for your application settings
