Add gestures to your Windows Phone 7 application

Jul 8, 2012 by

As it turns out, it is extremely easy to add gestures to your Windows Phone app. All you need to do is add a reference to the Silverlight Toolkit



xmlns:toolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit"

Then add the following code to any UI element (button, textbox etc…) that you want the gesture to be applied to and implement the listeners in your .cs file



<toolkit:GestureService.GestureListener>

     <toolkit:GestureListener 

         DoubleTap="GestureListenerDoubleTap"

         Hold="GestureListenerHold"/>

</toolkit:GestureService.GestureListener>

Last step is the implementation of the listeners:



private void GestureListenerDoubleTap(object sender, GestureEventArgs e)

{

    MessageBox.Show("Double tap gesture");

}

and



private void GestureListenerHold(object sender, GestureEventArgs e)

{

    MessageBox.Show("Hold gesture");

}

That’s it. It is THAT simple

Java code to work with MillennialMedia, SMAATO and NexAge web advertising APIs

Dec 18, 2010 by

I wrote yesterday about my (mostly) negative experience working with these companies, but some of you might give it a try and maybe your results will be much better or maybe things have actually improved lately. In any case, the code here should get you up to speed covering most of the dirty work of working with these companies’ APIs.

I will post 4 classes here:

  • AdGrabber -  main abstract class to give all other specific grabbers structure and save some repeating code
  • MillenialAdGrabber - MillennialMedia specific grabber
  • NexAgeAdGrabber - right, NexAge specific grabber
  • SomaAdGrabber - the SMAATO ad grabber. Their ad platform is dubbed SOMA, hence the name

If you are using this code, please give an attribution when applicable with a link to this post.
