1 THAILAND Microsoft Thailand Limited Pongsakorn Poosankam Microsoft Innovation Center Manager Mango Mango! Developing for Windows Phone 7

2 Timeline of Windows Phone Date Change Feb 2010 WP7 official unveiled (WMC 2010) Apr 2010 Developer tools announced (MIX2010) Oct 2010 Launched in Europe Nov 2010 Launched in North America Feb 2011 Partnership with Nokia Announced Mar 2011 No-Do, Minor Update, Copy and Past Nov 2011 Mango, 7.5 Major Update Cloud and Integration Services App Model UI Model Software Foundation Hardware Foundation

3 List of Windows Phone Devices

4 Cloud and Integration Services Hardware Foundation App Model UI Model Software Foundation Hardware Foundation

5 Hardware Foundation Updates Capacitive touch 4 or more contact points Sensors Motion Sensor A-GPS, Accelerometer, Compass, Light, Proximity, Camera 5 mega pixels or more Multimedia Common detailed specs, Codec acceleration Memory 256MB RAM or more, 8GB Flash or more GPU DirectX 9 acceleration Gyro Improved capability detection APIs CPU Qualcomm MSM8x55 800Mhz or higher MSM7x30 Hardware buttons Back, Start, Search

6 Accelerometer Measures resultant acceleration (force) on device +Y Pros: Available on all devices Cons: Difficult to tell apart small orientation changes from small device motions -X -Z +X 6

7 Camera Access to live camera stream PhotoCamera Silverlight 4 Webcam Display in your app Video Brush

8 When to use each approach PhotoCamera Take High Quality Photos Handle Hardware Button Handle Flash mode and Focus Access Samples (Pull Model) Webcam Record Video Record Audio Share code with desktop Access Samples (Push Model)

9 Camera Demo

10 Gyroscope Measures rotational velocity on 3 axis Optional on Mango phones Not present in pre-mango WP7 phones 1 0

11 Gyroscope API 11

12 Motion Sensor Virtual sensor, combines gyro + compass + accelerometer Motion Sensor vs. gyro or compass or accelerometer More accurate Faster response times Comparatively low drift Can disambiguate motion types Has fall-back if gyro is not available Always prefer Motion Sensor when available 1 2

13 Motion API if (Motion.IsSupported) { _sensor = new Motion(); _sensor.currentvaluechanged += new EventHandler<SensorReadingEventArgs<MotionReading>> (sensor_currentvaluechanged); _sensor.start(); } void _sensor_currentvaluechanged(object sender, SensorReadingEventArgs<MotionReading> e) { Simple3DVector rawacceleration = new Simple3DVector( e.sensorreading.gravity.acceleration.x, e.sensorreading.gravity.acceleration.y, e.sensorreading.gravity.acceleration.z); }

14 Motion Sensor Adapts to Devices Accelerometer Compass Gyro Motion Yes Yes Yes Full Yes Yes No Degraded Yes No Yes Unsupported Yes No No Unsupported Degraded modes have lower quality approximations When Motion.IsSupported is false, apps should use accelerometer or other input and control mechanisms 1 4

15 Sensor Calibration Calibration Event is fired when calibration is needed Both Compass and Motion sensors need user calibration Apps should handle it Provide UI asking user to move device through a full range of orientations Not handling will cause inaccurate readings We are considering providing copy & paste solution

18 Run-time improvements Silverlight 4 Implicit styles RichTextBox ViewBox More touch events (tap, double tap) Features Sockets Clipboard IME WebBrowser (IE9) VideoBrush Performance Gen GC Input thread Working set Profiler

19 Networking Sockets TCP UDP unicast, Multicast ( on Wi-Fi) Connection Manager Control Overrides and sets preferences (e.g. Wi-Fi or cellular only) HTTP Full header access WebClient returns in originating thread

20 Silverlight and XNA Shared Graphics XNA inside Silverlight App Integration at Page Level XNA takes over rendering Integration at Element level Silverlight elements in XNA pipeline via UIElementRenderer Shared input

21 Silverlight + XNA demo

22 Local database SQL Compact Edition Use object model for CRUD LINQ to SQL to query, filter, sort Application level access Sandboxed from other apps Uses IsolatedStorage Access for background agents DatabaseSchemaUpdater APIs for upgrades SQL CE

23 Database APIs: Datacontext and attributes // Define the data context. public partial class WineDataContext : DataContext { public Table<Wine> Wines; public Table<Vineyard> Vineyards; public WineDataContext(string connection) : base(connection) { } } // Define the tables in the database [Table] public class Wine { [Column(IsPrimaryKey=true] public string WineID { get; set; } [Column] public string Name { get; set; } } // Create the database form data context, using a connection string DataContext db = new WineDataContext("isostore:/wineDB.sdf"); if (!db.databaseexists()) db.createdatabase();

24 Queries: Examples // Find all wines currently at home, ordered by date acquired var q = from w in db.wines where w.varietal.name == Shiraz && w.isathome == true orderby w.dateacquired select w; Wine newwine = new Wine { WineID = 1768", Name = Windows Phone Syrah", Description = Bold and spicy" }; db.wines.insertonsubmit(newwine); db.submitchanges();

27 Fast Application Resume Immediate Resume of recently used applications Apps stay in memory after deactivation New task switcher Long-press back button While dormant Apps are not getting CPU cycles Resources are detached You must recompile and resubmit targeting Mango

28 Fast App Resume demo

29 Multi-tasking Options Background Transfer Service Background Audio Background Agents Periodic On Idle Alarms and Reminders 29

30 Generic Agent Types Periodic Agents Occurrence Every 30 min Duration ~15 seconds Constraints <= 6 MB Memory <=10% CPU On Idle Agents Occurrence External power, non-cell network Duration 10 minutes Constraints <= 6 MB Memory

31 Background Agent Functionality Allowed Restricted Tiles Toast Location Network R/W ISO store Sockets Most framework APIs Display UI XNA libraries Microphone and Camera Sensors Play audio (may only use background audio APIs)

32 Notifications Time-based, on-phone notifications Supports Alerts & Reminders Persist across reboots Adheres to user settings Consistent with phone UX

33 Alarms API Alarms using Microsoft.Phone.Scheduler; private void AddAlarm(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { Alarm alarm = new Alarm("Long Day"); alarm.begintime = DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(15); alarm.content = "It's been a long day. Go to bed."; alarm.title = "Alarm"; } ScheduledActionService.Add(alarm); 35

34 Reminders API Reminders using Microsoft.Phone.Scheduler; private void AddReminder(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { Reminder reminder = new Reminder("CompanyMeeting"); reminder.begintime = DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(15); reminder.content = "Soccer Fields by The Commons"; reminder.title = "Microsoft Annual Company Product Fair 2009"; reminder.recurrencetype = RecurrenceInterval.Yearly; reminder.navigationuri = new Uri("/Reminder.xaml", UriKind.Relative); } ScheduledActionService.Add(reminder); 36

35 Background Transfer Service Start transfer in foreground, complete in background, even if app is closed Queue persists across reboots Queue size limit = 5 Queue APIs (Add, Remove, Query status) Single service for many apps, FIFO Download ~20 MB ( > over Wi-Fi) Upload Size ~4 MB (limit to come) Transfers to Isolated Storage

36 Background Transfer Service using Microsoft.Phone.BackgroundTransfer; API void DownloadWithBTS(Uri sourceuri, Uri destinationpath) { btr = new BackgroundTransferRequest(sourceUri, destinationuri); btr.transferstatuschanged += BtsStatusChanged; btr.transferprogresschanged += BtsProgressChanged; BackgroundTransferService.Add(btr); } void BtsProgressChanged(object sender, BackgroundTransferEventArgs e) { DrawProgressBar(e.Request.BytesReceived); }
