Visual State setters & triggers

Setters set discrete propertiesMany properties do not need animation

Triggers declare when a state is applied No need to manually handle events in code-behind

URI Activation++

Invoke a specific app

var options = new LauncherOptions();

options.TargetApplicationPackageFamilyName = "24919.InstapaperIt";

var launchUri = new Uri("instapaper:?AddUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fbing.com");

await Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(launchUri, options);

URI Activation++

Send Files

var options = new LauncherOptions();

options.TargetApplicationPackageFamilyName = "24919.InstapaperIt";

var token = SharedStorageAccessManager.AddFile (gpxFile);

ValueSet inputData = new ValueSet();

inputData.Add("Token", token);

var launchUri = new Uri("instapaper:?AddUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fbing.com");

await Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(launchUri, options, inputData);

Query URI Support

Discover if app already installed to handle a Uri

var queryUri = new Uri("instapaper:");

await Launcher.QueryUriSupportAsync(queryUri, LaunchUriType.LaunchUri);

?

var queryUri = new Uri("instapaper:");

string packageFamilyName = "24919.InstapaperIt";

await Launcher.QueryUriSupportAsync(queryUri, LaunchUriType.LaunchUriForResults, packageFamilyName);

Launch for Results

Launching the app

var options = new LauncherOptions();

options.TargetApplicationPackageFamilyName = "24919.Instap";

var launchUri = new Uri("instapaper:?AddUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fbing.com");

await Launcher.LaunchUriForResultsAsync(launchUri, options, data);

var resultData = new ValueSet();

resultData.Add("Result", value);

Action Centermanaging your notification space

Action center & Quick actions

Action Center – User Experience

20 Notifications per app

Persistent notifications for 7 days (or shorter)

Users can: - “chase” (tap) a notification (removes it from the action center)

- remove a group of notifications

- remove all notifications

First available on Phone in 8.1 - now on Windows 10 desktop as well!

Action Center Management APIs

Manage app notifications

Developers can:• Remove one or many notifications

• Tag and group notifications

• Replace a notification with a new one

• Set an expiration on notifications

• Send “Ghost Toast” notifications (only show up in the notification center)

Action Center change triggers

ToastNotificationHistoryChangedTrigger• Fires whenever a user dismisses a notification from Action Center

• Or when an app adds or removes or replaces a notification

Use to trigger a Background task in which you can maintain consistency of unactioned item counts in app state and on Tiles

Action Center change trigger// Background task for a ToastNotificationHistoryChangedTriggerpublic sealed class ActionCenterChangedTask: IBackgroundTask{

public void Run(IBackgroundTaskInstance taskInstance){

var toasts = ToastNotificationManager.History.GetHistory();if (toasts != null){

var count = toasts.Count();if (count== 0){BadgeUpdateManager.CreateBadgeUpdaterForApplication().Clear();

}else{

XmlDocument badgeXml = BadgeUpdateManager.GetTemplateContent(BadgeTemplateType.BadgeNumber);XmlElement badgeElement = (XmlElement)badgeXml.SelectSingleNode("/badge");badgeElement.SetAttribute("value", count.ToString());BadgeNotification badge = new BadgeNotification(badgeXml);BadgeUpdateManager.CreateBadgeUpdaterForApplication().Update(badge);

}}
