Push Notifications

It ’s not always Sunny & 73 o !!

Push Notifications Contd.
Notification types – Live Tile Update, Toast or Raw; depending on type, notification is sent either to App or Shell.
Tile – visual dynamic representation of application content within phone ’s start page, if pinned by user (through Context Menu); ongoing communication to user based on frequency of cloud service actions; the backend cloud service can control a tile’s background image (may be expensive if no local resource) & counter, as configured.
Toast – displays notification as an overlay onto user ’s current screen; intrusive & hence to be used sparingly; user may touch to launch application; cloud service may control title & subtitle of toast; appropriate for peer-to-peer apps; users have to have an explicit option to agree to toasts.
Toast and Tile notification are system defined notification in Windows Phone 7 platform.
Raw – App can receive messages from cloud constantly using PN; eliminates need for custom code to have persistent connection open with backend cloud service; only possible if app running in foreground.
Enhanced Push Notifications in Mango – Improved TDET detection, Fast resume of channel, Max channels up to 30 now and API enhancements to handle multiple 2-sided tiles & deep-linked Toasts.

Anatomy of a Live Tile .. Differentiate your presence!

O(h my ) Data
“ JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. Most JSON comprises of a collection of name/value pairs & ordered list of values. ”
“ Atom is an XML-based document format that describes lists of related information known as "feeds". Feeds are composed of a number of items, known as "entries", each with an extensible set of attached metadata. For example, each entry has a title. The primary use case that Atom addresses is the syndication of Web content such as weblogs and news headlines to Web sites as well as directly to user agents. ”
“ In very simple terms, OData is a resource-based Web protocol for querying and updating data. OData defines operations on resources using HTTP verbs (PUT, POST, UPDATE and DELETE), and it identifies those resources using a standard URI syntax. Data is transferred over HTTP using the AtomPub or JSON standards. (Source: MSDN Magazine, June 2010 Issue) ”
Services that expose their data using the OData protocol are referred to as OData producers, and clients that consume data exposed using the OData protocol are referred to as consumers. Head over to http://odata.org for more information about OData, a list of current producers & consumers and what all this means for developers.
The OData protocol enables access to information from a broad range of clients. At present, the ecosystem has client libraries available for Windows Phone 7, iPhone, Silverlight 4, PHP, AJAX/Javascript, Ruby, or Java.

Execution Model Assume your process is killed Save state for later use Load state to continue where you left off User is back where they left off Fast-Application-Switching !!!
Hit Start
Open toast
Lock screen

Putting Apps in their Place
Extends the search experience
Launches the user directly into your app
Deep linking makes it seamless
Absolute must-use for Marketing your App

Background Agents
Enable background actions when app isn’t running
Allow scheduling
Great for audio players or location tracking
< Tasks > < DefaultTask Name = " _default " NavigationPage = " MainPage.xaml " /> < ExtendedTask Name = " BackgroundTask " > < BackgroundServiceAgent Specifier = " AudioPlayerAgent “ Name = " MyAudioPlaybackAgent “ Source = " MyAudioPlaybackAgent “ Type = " MyAudioPlaybackAgent.AudioPlayer " /> </ ExtendedTask > </ Tasks >

Reminders Reminder reminder = new Reminder (name); reminder.Title = titleTextBox.Text; reminder.Content = contentTextBox.Text; reminder.BeginTime = beginTime; reminder.ExpirationTime = expirationTime; reminder.RecurrenceType = recurrence; reminder.NavigationUri = navigationUri; ScheduledActionService .Add(reminder);

Accelerometer
PEOPLE
Detects the force of gravity, as well as any forces resulting from the movement of the device.
Gyroscope
Determines the rotational velocity of the device on all three axes.
Compass
Determines the device’s rotation relative to the Earth’s magnetic north pole.
Can also detect magnetic forces around the device.
