  1. Introduction to Mobile Programming

  2. Overview • Fundamentally, it all works the same way • You get the SDK for the device (Droid, Windows, Apple) • You get a development account to test the application • You deploy the application • The APIs are different from one platform to the next

  3. Getting Started (Android) • Download the Android SDK • Use Eclipse as the development environment (others are possible) • You are really writing Java code here against another API

  4. Getting Started (Android)

  5. Getting Started. Android • The markup is XML • The code is Java with a ‘different’ set of libraries • I have not worked this much

  6. Getting Started (Windows) • You need to get the Windows Phone 7.1 or 8.0 Emulator • Note Windows 8 phone apps can only be developed on Windows 8 systems • Uses Silverlight 5.x • Note windows 7.x phone apps can only be developed on Windows 7 systems • Uses Silverlight 4.x • Don’t try to use any of the server OSs

  7. Getting Started (Windows) • I’ll be working with 7.1 here • Have not played with Windows 8 

  8. Creating a First App • When you installed the SDK you should see the Silverlight for Windows Phone templates • Note that you also need the basic Silverlight tools too • And the right version

  9. Creating a First Windows App

  10. Creating a First Windows App • Select the Target Phone Version

  11. Creating a First Windows App • And the emulator appears

  12. What you Already Know • It’s all Silverlight (from last time) • The IDE is similar to what you know • Toolbox, visual designer, Code Editor, Properties Window, Solution Explorer • The debugging tools are about the same • Some of the user interface elements differ

  13. UI Differences • The TextBlock is the equivalent to a multi-line text box • The TextBox and Button and other controls work as you would expect • Note the WPF property namesare much different

  14. A First Program • Create the XAMLusing the designer

  15. A First Program • The XAML produced

  16. A First Program • Create the code behind

  17. A First Program • And just run as usual • The app appears in an emulator

  18. Creating Additional Pages • Add an item to the to the project as usual (more about page types in a moment)

  19. Navigation Between Pages • A Windows phone application is made up of pages • Your first is MainPage.xaml and MainPage.cs • The hardware “back” button returns to the previous page • You use the NavigationService to navigate to the next page

  20. Navigation Between Pages • Navigate to another page:

  21. Page Types (1) • Portrait and Landscape pages should be clear • Panoramamode uses a container object and you create panorama items on the page • You swipe between pages ( • Pivotpages work similarly but the title does not move

  22. Panorama Page (Example)

  23. Pivot Page (Example)

  24. Microsoft Expression Blend • It’s a UI design tool for XAML • It supports the WPF text engine

  25. Microsoft Expression Blend • Just right click a .XAML file to bring up Expression Blend • It’s a big coloring tool and I don’t know it!

  26. Phone Event Differences • You should be used to mouse events (click and motion) • Now we have touch events (we call these gestures • Tap • Multi-tap • Pinch • Note that multi-touch events don’t work right in the emulator

  27. Phone Events • Tap / Double tap – These are basically equivalent mouse events • PinchStarted, PinchCompleted, PinchDelta • These are multi-touch events • Flick – The quick mouse swipe (usually for page turning • Hold – Touch and hold for context menus or popups

  28. Deployment (1) • For testing and any deployment to an actual phone, you need a Windows Phone developers account • Free thru Dreamspark but otherwise $99/year • For production, you need to play the Apple way (almost) • Microsoft need not approve your application though • It’s possible to unlock (hack) your phone for testing

  29. Deployment (2) • http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windowsphone/develop/ff769508(v=vs.105).aspx

  30. Deployment 3 • Start the Application Deployment tooland select theXAP file

  31. Deployment (4) • In Visual Studio select the Windows Phone Device • Phone must be on and connected
