Hello. I have a question about windows phone 7 development
I saw some topics about using native code on WP7 and one about using native DLL on a windows phone 7 for full unlocked devices. until now ok. But I though about using DirectDraw but I dont know if it is possible in a silverlight app with a Imported DLL
So my question is, Is possible create a DirectX application for windows phone 7 for fully unlocked devices?
I wanted to create a app with a control and this control may have the directx content if it isn't possible, is possible to make a native EXE?
Thanks for reading.

Hello,
I have a question about the programming on a Phone7.
(I can´t write this in the developer section sry
Can I write a App that use sockets on a unlocked device?
I planing a port of Pidgin for Windows Phone 7 but this OS is to new for me that I can collect enough informations.

Yes, you can use sockets, but not through an official API, so you can't publish an application using sockets on the Marketplace. See this thread for an example using COM interop. I think it might also be possible to access the .NET classes using reflection, but I'm not sure about that.
Technically you can for developer unlocked devices, but the official SDK is coming out next month with socket support - so you may be better writing the UI and data models, then implementing the socket support when the SDK arrives.
I think the Webserver source code in the software development section shows how to use sockets on developer unlocked devices.

We are a small company looking to do some inhouse programming using tablets. Initially we were going to move forward on an Android Honeycomb platform because we have only Java developers here. But it looks like we can't get rugged tablets for that platform. There seem to be a lot more rugged tablets that are Windows based.
Initially I thought that we would have to use C# /.Net to code for native applications for the Windows tablets (and Windows specific API). But a colleague of mine thought we could use Java to build native applications on the Windows tablets also. Is this true? Can I use Java to build applications that can be deployed both to the Windows tablets and the Honeycombs? Our applications will also use GPS location based services. Any feedback/pointers would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks.
What devices are you talking about? Phones (running Windows Mobile 6 or Windows Phone 7) or tablets (like the iPad, currently running Windows 7 and in the future Windows 8)?
Most of Windows-based tablets are based in just normal Windows computers on x86 processor. Only very few are Windows CE-based.
On Windows XP/7 tablet PCs you can write in Java without any problem. I am not sure about GPS usage, but it can be read using JNI or just serial port. You can have some common classes/class libraries for Windows and Android, but the device logic and UI needs to be specific (and the JVM is different - Sun JVM vs. Dalvik).
On Windows 8 with "Metro", however, there is no sign yet you can develop WinRT apps using Java.

If you want create an app you need C# and silverlight

Well for Windows 7 you can develop using more or less whatever you prefer since there are no differences between the OS on the desktop and a tablet.
So yes, you can use Java for Windows 7.
There is some API for Location services in Windows 7 however I don't know the details about this.
I also don't know much about Android, but if you can develop for Android in Java you can at least share some code between the Windows 7 and Android version of your software.
Windows 8 will introduce a new kind of app (metro-style app) and those apps can only be written in HTML5 and Javascript or C#/VB.Net/C++/C and XAML.
However, users will still be able to use your Java Apps on Windows 8.
so it looks like Windows 7 is like a windows 7 PC. I can't find any specific books on amazon, so I do apologize if my questions are stupid.
1) Can I develop a Java application similar to that of a desktop and deploy the EAR/WAR file to the windows 7 tablet? if so, does the tablet have an inbuilt web server type application (websphere, tomcat) to serve pages? if not, will the app be loaded on a remote server and be accessed via a browser? In this case the tablet will need an internet connection all the time, correct?
Thanks again.
A Windows 7 Tablet is basically just running the desktop version of Windows 7 so you can do anything with the tablet that you could do with a Windows 7 desktop machine.
Note that Windows Phone 7 is an entirely different operating system that's barely connected.
Please let me know the phones, that allows me to install any Mobile OS in it.. I know that HTC HD2 can have 5 os in it.. IS there any other phone supporting all oS?
i wish i have the answer to your question. I looking for a phone that supports WP7 and android. it seems that only HD2 have this support. I guess is because microsoft dont allow using the same hardware of WP7 devices on android devices on the same company, so it cannot use the source code of wp7 drivers to make android drivers. Then the community have to create drivers from scratch, witch is hard.
Its not necessary that the phone should support WP7 also. Is there any other mobile that will support all other remaining OS?
hi!
i've read wp 7 architecture document from feb 10, and teh document mentions "Windows Phone Builder" and when i'm googled about it, i found that "Windows Phone Builder" is kind of Platform Builder for wp. is it available on xda-dev or does anybody here will leak it somehow?
Its on xda in windows phone chef central.

that's not i'm looking for,
i'm looking for a "platform builder" for wp7 which contains wp7 source code and else.
*a wpb build 7004 leak is acceptable *
I don't believe the WP7 source has leaked, although I don't generally keep a close contact with the shadier side of the Internet so it's possible I'm just unaware. Compact Embedded 7 is pretty close to WP7 in terms of the low-level stuff (kernel and base libraries) but has a completely different UI and built-in apps. Also, the CE7 platform builder is missing the code for the policy engine (it just includes a precompiled binary) which is reallllly irritating.

yeah, and that's why i asked for "crazy oem people" to leak wpb for sure.
I am newer to Android development but would like to know how to communicate with my Windows 8 (7 or XP) environment over Adhoc from my Android phone. I have researched this topic and I generally see people refer to the play store to download an app. I don't just want the functionality, but I want to know how to do it myself. Whether if there is a specific library I can use through android development, or if their is some command line option I can use via Android to do this.
So, how would I go about browsing files on my Windows machine without using an app? I know the Android O/S (at least what I gathered from the articles I have read) does not support this. So what are developers doing in their apps to create this connection? Or what is the best book to buy to help me understand how to do this?
Thanks!
