Adding profile picture to the contact using SaveContactTask in windows phone - windows-phone-8

I am trying to add a contact in windows phone using code with SaveContactTask.
I am required to add a photo to this contact which will be the profile picture
when viewed from the People hub. But i can not find a way how to do that.
Well, one can go the People hub and can edit the contact to manually to add a photo by
tapping edit -> Add Photo -> choose from photos. But i need to do that using code so that
i can associate a photo to the contact that i am adding.
Can anyone help me find a way?

I am facing the same problem. i have been looking for any kind of solution but i believe its not possible for now as its stated in comments above. The only thing you can do is save contact by SaveContactTask and then separately save picture to MediaLibrary using method SavePicture and then user can add picture to contact manually by editing contacts that you created in your app. Thats the closest you can get for now.

Target specific tab (amazon affiliate)

Way too many tabs!
I have a online website and affiliate with amazon. I have many product links to Amazon (image versus text; targeted to the specific products on amazon). When visitor clicks on a product image (my site) it opens a new tab and for each additional product image clicked, more tabs open. It will really distract buyers who want to purchase more than one items.
I believe this question has been posed around but I can't find if here is a clean solution. I would like to have the following occur and any guidance would be appreciated". (note- As of now my links for a new tab to open so my site is remains up and viewable:
1) on a first link click, a new tab opens to the product page where the viewer can log into their Amazon account and shopping cart. I will call this newly opened Tab B
2) any subsequent link clicks from my site are targeted to Tab B, essentially refreshing Tab B.
It appears Amazon can track so I am expecting that even when Tab B is refreshed the visitor remains logged into their account and shopping cart!????
I use WIX for my site development...no haters now as I am not a coder!
I am not a coder and as such not the sharpest tool in the shed. That said I can figure code when I see it, if that makes sense.
Set the target to a name or "blank" like this example. Then on each link just make sure you reference the name target name.
Google
That will open a new tab and continually use the same tab on additional clicks.

Facebook Instant "PLAY" button not present

My Facebook Instant app does not have a play button, so it's not possible to launch the app via sharing.
Could someone outline what I need to do to get this button to appear please?
I've set up everything (including an app page) in the dashboard. I'm assuming it has something to do with the "fbapp-config.json" file, but sample app doesn't seem to have the most common use case.
I assume don't need a self-hosted bot just to launch my app?
As discussed elsewhere (as I am unable to comment on Stack Overflow) I clarified that this is the Messenger share from the app details page. This looks like a bug on the Facebook side, as this reproduces for me.
For context, I am an engineer working on the Facebook Instant Games team. We will look into fixing this and update here when it is fixed.

Google Map embed for Antarctica shows wrong location

I want to display the current location of a research ship students at my University are currently on. Their location is off the coast of Antarctica, but the embed code I get from that page shows a bar in NY named "Antarctica".
https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=S+63%C2%B048'++W+066%C2%B012'&data=!1m4!1m3!1d17155058!2d-66.2!3d-63.8!2m1!1e3!4m14!2m13!1m12!3m8!1m3!1d346321!2d66.2!3d63.8!3m2!1i1440!2i805!4f35!4m2!3d-63.8!4d-66.2&fid=
What can I do?
Seems to be working for me... I copied your URL directly and it displays a part of Antarctica- How are you embedding it? Perhaps you could create a 'jsbin' or 'jsfiddle' to recreate your problem. That would make it a lot easier for people to help... EDIT: also, note that the url has an apostrophe in several places. This is why your link above stops at B048 instead of using the whole link.

Save image from iOS WebApp to Photo Library

Ok so I've got an image that I want users to be able to click a link like the one below and it offers to save, rather than just getting users to click and hold the image. Cant find any documentation about this online, most people are trying to disable the click and hold feature, when I just want a link that does it quicker.
Is there anyway? Heres all i can think of the try but cant get to work.

Safari and other IOS browsers only access the filesystem with user input. So, pressing and holding is the only way to save it to the camera roll. It has something to do with sandboxing. Check here: Sandbox_Wiki
