This document summarizes the key updates and features in the Windows Phone 8 SDK. It discusses the system requirements for installing the SDK and using the emulator, provides overviews of new APIs and capabilities like tiles, the lockscreen, resolutions, the wallet, lenses, speech recognition, and location services, and demonstrates several of these features. It also highlights new templates, the ability to debug from tiles/notifications, the simulation dashboard, and takeaways around second level address translation, supported OS versions, and the various new SDK components.
Discovering the wp8 sdk
- 1. Exploring the WP8 SDK @NicoVermeir

- 3. Agenda • What’s new in the Windows Phone 8 SDK • Installing the SDK • System requirements • Emulator • Templates • Debugging • Tiles • Lockscreen • Resolutions • Wallet • Lenses • Speech • Location
- 4. What’s new? • LongListSelector • Pivot & panorama removed from SDK, now in ROM • Maps integrated in the SDK • Microsoft.Phone.Maps • Microsoft.Phone.Maps.Controls • Microsoft.Phone.Maps.Services • Lockscreen • Wallet • In-app purchases • Proximity • Bluetooth • DataSense
- 5. What’s new? • Simulation Dashboard • Low bandwidth connection or poor signal • An interruption such as reminder • Lock screen • Launchers • SaveAppointmentTask • MapDownloaderTask • MapsTask • MapsDirectionstask
- 7. System Requirements - SDK • Windows 8 64-bit • 6.5 GB free disk space • 4 GB RAM • 64-bit CPU
- 8. System Requirements - Emulator • Windows 8 Pro or higher • Second Level Address Translation • EPT (Intel, Extended Page Table) • RVI (AMD, Rapid Virtualization Indexing) • Check your CPU with CoreInfo (http://bit.ly/1ojtfP)
- 10. Second Level Address Translation • Used by Hyper-V • Helps translating guest physical addresses to host physical addresses
- 11. Emulator • 4 images, one for each resolution • Complete OS • Powered by Hyper-V • Separate device on network
- 12. Demo Windows Phone 8 Emulator
- 13. Templates • Windows Phone App • Windows Phone Databound App • Windows Phone Panorama App • Windows Phone Pivot App • Windows Phone XAML and D3D App • Windows Phone HTML5 App
- 14. Debugging • Debug managed or Native Code • Even when launched from tile or notification
- 15. Demo debugging
- 16. Tiles • Three Templates • Flip • Iconic • Cycle • Three sizes • Secondary tiles
- 17. Demo Tiles
- 18. Lockscreen • 5 apps on lockscreen, users decides which ones • 30x30 icon • Transparant, white • Takes the count of the tile • Needs to be set in WPAppManifest.xml
- 19. Demo Lockscreen
- 20. Multi-resolution
- 21. Multi-resolution
- 22. Multi-resolution • Apps scale automatically • Default resolution is 800x480 • Build assets for highest resolution • Resolution and scale can be checked from code
- 24. Wallet • Collect coupons, credit cards, memberships, loyalty cards, and more in one place. • Manage the payment instruments that they use in the app and music store. • Link items in the Wallet to apps on their phone. • Make contactless transactions, using Near-Field Communication (NFC), in some markets.
- 25. Wallet
- 26. Demo Wallet
- 27. Lenses • Camera app • Launched from the camera • For example: Bing Vision
- 28. Lenses • Set capabilities ID_CAP_ISV_CAMERA and ID_CAP_MEDIALIB_PHOTO • Register lens extension • When activated, will navigate to /MainPage.xaml?Action=ViewfinderLaunch • Intercept with UriMapper, send to lens page
- 29. Demo Lenses
- 30. Speech • Text to speech • Speech to text • Voice commands
- 31. Demo Speech
- 32. Location • New api (WP7 version still works as well) • Background tracking • Only one app • GeoLocator keeps the app alive • Drains battery
- 33. Demo Location
- 34. Take aways • SLAT needed for the emulator (coreinfo.exe) • Windows 8 needed for the SDK • Debug when launched from notification or secondary tile • Simulation dashboard • Templates for native code and HTML5 • Three tile templates, flip, iconic and cycle • Apps can be on the lockscreen • Apps scale automatically to one of three resolutions or two aspect ratios • Wallet can be used for discounts, memberships and deals • Lenses are camera apps • Speech API provides TTS, STT and voice commands • GeoLocator can track location from the background, only one app can do this
- 35. Q&A
Editor's Notes
- #16: Project properties -> debug -> native only/managed onlyLaunch app, back button, launch app through tile
- #17: Flip = WP7 style, image with text on back (weather app)Iconic = mail or messaging styleCycle = cycles up to 9 images
- #18: Tiles set in WMappManifest.xml, then set from code
- #20: Tiles set in WMappManifest.xml, then set from code
- #24: Tiles set in WMappManifest.xml, then set from code
- #27: Tiles set in WMappManifest.xml, then set from code
- #30: Tiles set in WMappManifest.xml, then set from code
- #32: Tiles set in WMappManifest.xml, then set from code
