Is there a way to use default camera app(Nokia/Microsoft camera) in my app?
I would like to, on btn click to call system camera. Take a picture with it, and then upload that picture to the server from my app.
If there is no way to do that, what is the best way to create camera app so user can use zoom, flashlight, etc.
EDIT:
This was available in older versions of Windows phone, and it was simple to use
like this:
CameraCaptureTask camera = new CameraCaptureTask();
camera.Show();
camera.Completed += new EventHandler<PhotoResult>(camera_Completed);
I don't understand why would MS remove this ability from Windows phone 8.1
Thank you,
regards
The camera capture task was based on Silverlight APIs and was valid for Windows phone 7 and 8 that used silverlight Pages . The camera APIs are now based on WinRT Universal APIs . Have a look at this

I am trying to create an in-app tile like the image below (groups), with images flipping on the tile. I have gone through the HubTile but couldn't find. Which WP control would help to create such type of tile effect. Plus, will data binding of images be possible for the tile ImageSource ?
P.S. - This is not a live tile. I want the tile within the app.
Have you tried ImageTile control from Coding4Fun toolkit?
A detailed article on how to use it can be found on GeekChamp.
The Windows Phone Toolkit has a free HubTile control that can be used within your application. There are also commercial alternatives such as Telerik's HubTile.
I have a MediaElement on my main page and I want to add gestures support in my app. More exactly I want to play/pause the movie when the MediaElement is tapped, increase/decrease the volume when the is a slide up/slide down, or jump to another position in the movie if there is a slide right/slide left. How exactly can i do that ?
My app is designed for Windows Store, so I want the simplest method that I can use for a Metro app. Also I have to say that my application is written in C# and I used XAML for the page design.
I am working on a Windows Phone 8 app, and have a question about UI design. Please take a look at the image below:
What I am trying to add to my app is something like the above UI under "recent" tab. That is, some kind of live tile style thing with-in the app.
If anyone has experience about how to build such kind of in-app tiles, please share some idea or code sample.
Thank you
The Windows Phone Toolkit provides a Windows Phone HubTile control:
Here is a tutorial on the Nokia Wiki that explains how to use it.
