I'm actually learning coding with Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone. Now I've already build an Application, that picks a Picture from the Gallery (with the PhotoChooserTask), an Uploads it via HttpClient to own Service. Now I want to Add the ability to to this for a complete PictureAlbum (CameraRoll etc).
How can I do this exactly? I'm an absolute beginner and searched the Web threw few Sites, but didn't find any "easy to understand" help or solution. Can somebody help me please?
not sure what you are asking , i think you were asking how to do a image download and upload by httpclient. let me know if i m wrong
here is the solution,
First, you need a web api based on server, it provides HttpGet for download from a device, HttpPost for upload from a device.
for the web server or web api, you can take a look at this
Second, on the client windows phone side, u need to use HttpClient to do download and upload.
on how to use HttpClient, you can check this.
on how to display images on the windows phone, check this.
hope this is helpful for u.

I have built an indoor location ios app using Estimote SDK and its working fine. Now I want to see all the users in same location to be able to see each other in App.
Any suggestions on how to do that. Please comment and let me know if anything is not clear about the question
Here's one example how we did it using IndoorAtlas & PubNub service. Does not require any logic on the server side and allows you to tap into the location stream from several different types of clients such as mobile or browser. You should be able to do it in similar way using Estimote.

So I'm trying to deep link from an app into the Instagram BETA app on Windows Phone. And it's not going well.
First, does anyone know the URI for posting?
Second, when I use the URI "instagram://" it looks to be loading the app, and then bounces back to my app, so I think I'm on the right track. Any chance there is something in the Framework to discover the protocols? I'm sure that the phone has to collect this to deal with URIs with specific file types.
Thanks.
Sheme "instagram".
Information from 325 Windows Phone apps you can launch from your own app
I recently created a HTML5 game locally on my PC. Then, I went to the Facebook developer website and created a new application but it asks you about the link to the application.
My application is local and I don't have any hosting website. I tried to upload it via jsfiddle, but they didn't accept it as a valid link. What should I do?
I suggest reading the Getting Started manual on Facebook Help Center, that will get you started very well. Make sure you follow the steps and search for more information there.
You are not able to use JS Fiddle for your Facebook application, you need to have some website to host the application in. There are several cheap (some free) web hosts, which you can use for hosting. It is always better if you can buy your own web domain and host, this way it's guaranteed that it will work.
When you have your domain set up, you create a folder for your application on the FTP server and use the address (e.g. http://example.com/myapp/, https://example.com/myapp/) and place that address into the Canvas URL field on the configuration panel in Facebook Developers site.
The steps on how to continue from now on can be found from the manual linked above. Hopefully this helped you out!
Is there any way of programmatically adding a new note to OneNote via a Windows Phone 8 app? I know I can't interact directly with the OneNote app, but wondering if there's a way to add directly to the Personal (Web) file on SkyDrive via an API or sending an email or whatever. I've done some searching and I'm guessing not, but can't hurt to ask, right?
You can connect so SkyDrive via the Live Connect API. There's a tutorial for interacting with SkyDrive from Windows Phone here. I've not tried interacting with a OneNote file but if it's on SkyDrive, it should be accessible.
Having said that, OneNote uses a proprietary format and I'm not sure if there's an API you can call on the phone to create OneNote pages programmatically. It does have an interface which you could look into but it seems you might need to do that server side and interact via a web service from your app.
i know that the index.html page (the PhoneGap startup page) needs to reside on the device. but if we want to create an app who uses third party user authentication before proceeding to core application, so then what we have to do?
Thanks in advance
On android you can change the starting page in the main activity or you can make a redirect in index.html
Well, you don't say if you are platform specific..
And there are lots of third party auth options..
But I can offer two solutions (admittedly my own code etc),
both of them use PhoneGap for Android and PhoneGap Plugins. The key piece of code for me has been the onLocationChange callback feature of the ChildBrowser plugin. Your app can take the user to other sites for auth or whatever, but still get control back.
Tutorial on Using Twitter REST API (OAuth 1, ChildBrowser, jsOAuth plugin)
Free Android App + Source on github : AppLaud App (OpenID, ChildBrowser, custom server)
For authentication, you can have a form in your index.html (maybe under login div) to do a post to an actual webserver.
Then, fetch the data returned from the webserver to let your user access the functionality of your native phonegap application.
You can have the functionality disabled until you receive the successful login from the webserver. If you post via ajax, the webview won't even blink, but you will still get the successful login response from webserver and simply enable functionality on your app after this.
Let me know if this is confusing and I'll try to explain more clearly and
I hope this helps.
