The request to write a xap program / ​​help in writing - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear Members!
I extend to you a request to write a program for WP and Android. The main objective of this program would be able to handle the projects carried out in Prophio / Scratch and use them by using the keyboard or the "control panel" corresponding to the keys that can be set in the program and connect to the robot via bluetooth. If someone is willing to do it or help please write, I will give more details. If you do it in English I can translate to Polish (my language).

How to program?

Hi,
I have an easy question...^^
How can I program programs for my phone?
Is there anywhere a tutorial or something like that?
Or are all of you just very high skilled programmer?
I'm very interested in programming, but I only handl Java and php..
I hope someone of you can explain me where I can learn this =)
Greetings
Chris
PS:I hope I posted this in the right section...^^
PPS: I'm from Germany so I'm sorry for any mistake in my sentences and I hope there is also a German programmer who can show me a tutorial on German, but English is also OK.
I asked this question a few months back and no one helped. Here is what I have been able to find on my own:
To program for your Windows Mobile device you need Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition or later. That is an expensive development program. If you buy that program, you can download a Windows Mobile plugin for free that includes an emulator for debugging.
I personally refuse to shell out tons of cash for the ability to program for my phone for personal use. I have not been able to locate anywhere on the internet even the slightest hint of a way that I can write a program for my phone with open source or free software. I use notepad++ and g++ for my coding needs so I was really hoping for a way to program using only these tools with perhaps an additional library.
Speaking of libraries, open gl es is open gl for embedded devices such as your Raphael. I have been unable to find an open gl es tutorial that does not involve buying Visual Studio.
If anyone can find anything else, please post here.
I've used C# and C\C++ to write programs for Pocket PC\Windows Mobile. Java I believe you can use with limited functionality (not the same as on the web). Php is a web langange I believe??
Are you using C++ via Microsoft Visual Studio, or do you know how to compile mobile programs without dropping money in Microsoft's bank?
@Chunkyeggfoo
I know that php is for the web
I only wanted to show, that im not a totally noob in programming ^^
But my question was: Where do you learned this? Did you have an online tutorial, or from school? Or somewhere else...from a book maybe?
Here is one answer to the question.

I have never followed this guide because I use Visual Studio 2008. I started programming using visual basic .net (VERY EASY TO LEARN). Later, I wanted to write applications for the today screen and I needed to learn C++ and the win32 API. (NOT FUN!!!) The good news is that I have several programs that I use on my today screen including weather, calendar, battery monitor, task switcher, music player and an alarm. It has taken me about a year to become pretty proficient. NOTE: when you move from managed code (.net framework) to unmannaged code (C++, win32) you have to be VERY careful to properly manage device memory or you will end up with memory leaks.
I've attached a picture of my today screen to illustrate the possibilities.
Have fun
Edit
You can also download evc4 and the evc4.sp4 from the following links.

This will be a very powerful tool but probably very hard to learn too...
Check out this thread. It has lots of info.

You can take a C++ programming class at most community colleges (not state or UC, ie very expensive). im currently taking the pre req that will allow me to take it next semester.
I think,the simpliest way is the Basic4PPC(Basic for PocketPC). Use Google and search for it.
programming
i guess the best way is learn C#, i'm a visual basic programmer and the best app you can do with it is database app, if you want to do more powerful app for your phone is better to learn C#
i'm learning c# right now
try these two

Mobile First Aid translation

Hi,
i've finally found some time to update Mobile First Aid application and since many users asked for additional languages, i seek your help for translating all the strings. I've created a repository on GetLocalization, all you need to do is to register for free and then translate one or more entry (every help counts ).
Thank you very much.

p.s. i've added just some languages but feel free to ask for additional ones (limited to those supported by Windows Phone Marketplace)

Can I develop a new IME (Input Method Editor) for the native keyboard in Windows Phone 8?
Thanks.
As far as I know: no, you can't do anything to alter the keyboard besides the predefined layouts Microsoft provides for certain Textboxes (e.g. you can tell as textbox that it will be used for numeric input so when focussed a numeric input field will be displayed but thats it).

[Q] How can i receive the hardware key button event On Windows phone 8 App?

How can i receive the hardware key button event On Windows phone 8 App?
I have many problem,
I developed the WP8 App in the WP Device OEM Manufacturers.
So I can access to "OS, Device Driver, App".
But there are various MS documents, By First Time,
The developement is too hard.
The WP 8 is available features are very limited. The Windows CE / WM is a very different behavior.
I want to access the OS Layer by the API (Funtion)
Back button : Success. I found this key event.
Home button : ??? (I don't know)
Search button : ??? (I don't know)
Volume Up / Down : Just working volume.
Camera Key : Can i change the default camera app?
Power Key : Can i optionally lock the power key?
OEM Key (Barcode Key) : Push the button, I want to execute the My App?
Have you ever used these methods can I?
- Named Event
- SendMessage / PostMessage
- Other Communication
I guess the Key-Point "How can i communicate Device driver <-> App"
I am studying now the following Function.
- Service Agent
- IPC
Please help me any infomation the you think good... Have a nice day.
Whoa... you're writing a driver for WP8 and trying to have it talk to an app? Or are you writing an app that you want to have talk to some existing driver? Sorry, it's not really clear.
From an app, itself, there's no public API to see any hardware button keypress except Back, maybe Focus (half-press on camera), and maybe Shutter (full-press on camera). The OS handles everything, and intentionally doesn't let apps interfere.
Now, if you're writing something that isn't a traditional "app" - for example, if you're an OEM - then that's a different story.
I will study the more infomation on side by WP8 OS Driver.
Thanks a lot for your comment.
I will be studying the more knowledge from WP8 OS Position.
and I will share the more good information.
[1st Goal]
1. Click the HW key button (OEM Button).
2. The device driver will catch the HW key intrrupt (Event).
3. [It is not clear] And Set the event.
4. [It is not clear] If i can use the native code like a Win32 API, I use it or other api.
5. If i can the catching The event notification, Do Sometiong!!!
A) Execute the alternertive App.
B) Work the Something on the background App(Service).

-> this is the other engineer's task.
Or are you writing an app that you want to have talk to some existing driver?
-> this is my task. But we are on Team. So we are being cross-checked.
Sorry, it's not really clear.

, there's no public API to see any hardware button keypress except Back
-> I could catched by the below method.
protected override void OnBackKeyPress(System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
, maybe Focus (half-press on camera)
, and maybe Shutter (full-press on camera).
-> I found this document about camera on MSDN.
but I was not yet confirmed.

- for example, if you're an OEM - then that's a different story.

What do you mean by "OEM Button"?
If you are developing for an OEM, you have access to APIs which mare mortals like the rest of us do not have access to(not "legally" at least). There are internal documents specifying on how to use such APIs. You should probably consult the documentation Microsoft gives you on the matter, rather than asking here...
and btw, i would be more careful on shouting out infos about the OEM i work with...
Thank you for quick answer every time.
I understand what you're talking about "OEM & legally".
That's important part of project.
I don't want to confuse somebody by this question.
but i just have my lack about the WP8 knowledge.
I will try to consult on Microsoft.
Once again thank you.

Import and run Slide inside Application

Good morning / afternoon / evening !!!
I need to open a slide either in PPTX or PPSX or in Google DOC format (it has to be Slide)
But within the Application, I do not want to download an application when I open or open another application
In summary I wanted a slideshow player, or classes that would allow me to execute this
The idea of the project is an application, with some slides and one can access the slides (again, no doubt download the apk for this, I want to run inside the application)
Could someone also help me with this?
