I'm working on windows phone 8 application. I have a lot of multilanguage resources, but when I have tried to test my app on "ru-RU" localization - it loads in English only.
I have tried to set
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture
= Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture
= new CultureInfo("ru-RU");
manually, but when i check AppResources.ResourceLanguage it will return "en"
When I set CultureInfo("ru") - everything works fine
You have to set all supported locals in the csproj. Example: <SupportedCultures>de-DE;es-ES;</SupportedCultures>.
Localizing a Windows Phone app Step by Step

I am building an Electron app featuring a custom Notification feature where html5 divs appear and disappear as needed on a frameless, transparent, always-on-top window.
It works great, but: I still like the Windows notification center itself, and would like to have the option to see the past notifications there, without actually displaying them on screen with the HTML5 api.
I have tried:
Looking into the HTML5 api for an option to not show a notification, or to .hide() it right away: no luck. The only method that comes close is .close(), and it removes the notification from the center as well.
Looking into packages like node-notifier, but none of the used notification dependencies offer a way to completely hide a notification.
While I mentioned Node, I will also accept any lower-level API/binding that would allow me to do this.
Thanks in advance.
With the help of #treckstar in comments, I have found a way to do what I wanted using:
NodeRT
The ToastNotification.SuppressPopup attribute
Despite a handful of troubles building NodeRT and using electron-rebuild, here's a working PoC:
const { XmlDocument } = require('#nodert-win10-rs4/windows.data.xml.dom');
const {
ToastNotification,
ToastNotificationManager
} = require('#nodert-win10-rs4/windows.ui.notifications');
const localImage = path.join(__dirname, 'icon.png');
const template = `
<toast launch="app-defined-string">
<visual>
<binding template="ToastGeneric">
<image id="1" placement="appLogoOverride" hint-crop="circle" src="${localImage}"/>
</binding>
</visual>
</toast>
`;
const xml = new XmlDocument();
xml.loadXml(template);
const toast = new ToastNotification(xml);
const notifier = ToastNotificationManager.createToastNotifier("com.myapp.testnotif");
toast.suppressPopup = true;
notifier.show(toast);
May this help whoever comes across the same highly-specific problem.
In addition to what #MadWard shows in the PoC, the suppressPopup key is really the main player of the solution.
As I was going through tons of examples and electron code I kept hitting roadblocks due to random SDK versions and libraries of things I had installed. For example, the package electron-windows-notifications, which uses NodeRT was failing to load my preload.js because the Windows 10 SDK I had installed (build 15063) needed nodert-win10-cu instead of what was being used in most solutions by default nodert-wind10-au.

EDIT: I forgot to include the more specific steps I took getting electron-windows-notifications dependency files on this GitHub issue here. Basically everything from Python, broken node-gyp, and missing .winmd files.
Lastly Electron 14+ and NodeRT have an issue where you will need to make sure to have app.allowRendererProcessReuse = false and like the readme file says, to make sure this is running in the main.js file.
Hopefully this helps someone along the way, as I had never used Electron before until today and had learned a ton thanks to other peoples help.
I am developing a Windows Phone 8.1 Application and there is a need to get the Application Process ID from code. Any API with which I can get that?
You can use GetCurrentProcess followed by DuplicateHandle (and later CloseHandle) but I'm curious what you need it for... there's not much you can do with it in a Store app so maybe this won't complete your scenario.
Finally got the solution.
The Dll's for Desktop apps and Phone apps are different though the function names will be same.
When tried to import Kernal.dll lib in WIn Phone 8.1 and used p/invoke code, an exception, DllNotFoundException will be thrown. Instead in Win Phone 8.1 instead use "api-ms-win-core-processthreads-l1-1-1.dll"
To get the process ID in Win Phone 8.1 :
1)Create binding to WIN32 lib:
[DllImport("api-ms-win-core-processthreads-l1-1-1.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, ExactSpelling = false, PreserveSig = true)]
internal static extern uint GetCurrentProcessId();
2)Call the function:
uint id= GetCurrentProcessId();
For the complete set of Win Phone 8 supported API's see the MSDN link:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/jj662956(v=vs.105).aspx#BKMK_ListofsupportedWin32APIs
So when I was watching this video from BUILD I thought it's gonna be easy...
But I can't seem to get the tile of my WP Silverlight 8.1 app to change by doing the following.
const string xml = "<tile>"
+ "<visual>"
+ "<binding template='TileSquareText01'>"
+ "<text id='1'>testing 123</text>"
+ "</binding> "
+ "</visual>"
+ "</tile>";
var xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml(xml);
var tileNotification = new TileNotification(xmlDoc);
TileUpdateManager.CreateTileUpdaterForApplication().Update(tileNotification);
Please note I've also created a Windows RunTime Windows Phone 8.1 with exactly the same code and it works just fine.
On msdn, it clearly states that TileUpdateManager supports Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1. So I don't really know what's missing here.
In your manifest, make sure the notification type is set to WNS. If you set it to MPNS, then you have to use notifications the old way.

I am working on a worklight App using it's default 1.9 Dojo Toolkit. My App is working fine in Android emulator and in the web browser simulator. I tried to test the same app in Windows phone 8 Emulator but I am not able to see the whole Home page. I can see only Tabbar Button part used at the button while I am not able to see the list items used in the page. My Question is does Dojo Toolkit 1.9 supports Windows Phone 8?
I have visited dojo 1.9 release link and It says that in dojo 1.9, support for Windows Phone 8 has been included. If this is true, What could be the reason of failure for my app in Windows phone 8 emulator?
I also got below log when I created Windows phone 8 environment in my Worklight Project.
[2013-11-12 22:14:08] Environment 'Windows Phone 8' was created.
[2013-11-12 22:14:13] Starting build process: application 'KaiserTestApp', environment 'windowsphone8'
[2013-11-12 22:14:28] Windows Phone 8 app may not work well with Dojo toolkit included for this Application. Use a different Worklight Project, without Dojo toolkit, for Windows Phone 8 apps.
[2013-11-12 22:14:28] Application 'KaiserTestApp' with environment 'windowsphone8' build finished.
There is a WP8 VM bug that might hurt ListItem and might explain your issue. To check if that you are falling into this just monkey patch the _ItemBase _setSelectedAttr method this way and see if that fixes your issue:
_setSelectedAttr: function(/*Boolean*/selected){
// summary:
// Makes this widget in the selected or unselected state.
// description:
// Subclass should override.
// tags:
// private
if(selected){
var p = this.getParent();
if(p && p.selectOne){
// deselect the currently selected item
var arr = array.filter(p.getChildren(), function(w){
return w.selected;
});
array.forEach(arr, function(c){
this._prevSel = c;
c.set("selected", false);
}, this);
}
}
this.selected = selected;
//this._set("selected", selected);
}
If that is fixing your issue let us know and we will see how to release an updated version of Dojo that workarounds that WP8 WM bug.
I am using the following code
Geolocator myGeolocator = new Geolocator
{
DesiredAccuracy = PositionAccuracy.High
};
Geoposition myGeoposition = await myGeolocator.GetGeopositionAsync();
Geocoordinate myGeocoordinate = myGeoposition.Coordinate;
while running the simulator each time i get the location as Redmond, is this a bug, if yes then how can we get rid out of it?
There is location sensor simulator available for Windows Phone emulator (both 7.5 and 8): How to test apps that use location data for Windows Phone.
It looks like that:
You can set current phone location to anything you want using that tool. IT also allows you to record paths and playing recorded paths.
To open it click Additional Tools button - the last one within emulator toolbar. It's hovered to yellow on photo below.
