A few weeks ago, and their Objective-C iOS SDK. This week. Xamarin was then able to almost immediately release. The Microsoft Band SDK component. For iOS and Android, giving you the same functionality but entirely in C# for all three mobile platforms. The Android app is simple, it contains only a Connect. Finally, Microsoft built a ...

ConceptDev (Craig Dunn's blog). Tuesday, 30 September 2014. IPhone 6 and 6 Plus LaunchScreen.storyboard for Xamarin. Following on from the previous post. About adding launch images for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, here are the instructions for adding a. File instead of multiple fixed-size images. Apple's documentation recommends this method over using the static images. I used these instructions for replacing launch images with storyboards. Configuring a LaunchScreen like this will automatically scale up. I've u...

ConceptDev (Craig Dunn's blog). Friday, 31 October 2014. Microsoft Band (day 2: pairing). Sadly, day 2 of my Band experience was not as much fun as day 1. As I was excitedly demonstrating how notifications from my phone appeared on the Band. they stopped appearing :-( I didn't think to try and debug the issue right away, so I just kept the Band on collecting data. Next morning when I went to view my sleep data on my iPhone (more on that in future), the Band wouldn't sync data at all! After much screwing ...

ConceptDev (Craig Dunn's blog). Tuesday, 20 January 2015. Apple Watch Kit programming with C# (and Xamarin). For my "Your First Xamarin.Forms App" talk at Evolve this year I built a very simple version of the classic "Magic Eight Ball" fortune-telling app. Seemed like a perfect example to adapt for my First Apple Watch App. It's built in C# using Xamarin (of course); Xamarin's Watch Kit Preview. Watch frame screenshots generated with Bezel. Thanks to the fine folks at infinitapps. An Watch Kit Extension.

ConceptDev (Craig Dunn's blog). Sunday, 29 September 2013. Android TextToSpeech API with Xamarin: it talks too! A recent post covered Apple's new text-to-speech API in iOS 7. But forgot to mention that Android has actually had this capability for a while! It's really easy to add text-to-speech to a Xamarin.Android app: just implement. Which is a single method:. Then create a new. Speaker = new TextToSpeech (this, this);. Void Speak(string text) { var p = new Dictionary. Check out this cool TtsSetup.

ConceptDev (Craig Dunn's blog): Microsoft Band (day 6: data)

http://conceptdev.blogspot.com/2014/11/microsoft-band-day-6.html

ConceptDev (Craig Dunn's blog). Wednesday, 5 November 2014. Microsoft Band (day 6: data). Short update today, answering two questions I've heard a lot about the Band:. Can the data be exported? Does it work for cycling? Can data be exported? The short answer here is "no"; at least I have not found a way to get any of the raw data out of the Band or the Microsoft Health app. There are Connected Apps. Partners with Microsoft, including RunKeeper. The first problem with Connected Apps. There's no particular...

ConceptDev (Craig Dunn's blog). Sunday, 1 April 2012. CoreImage with MonoTouch (example). In response to a question on the mailing list over the weekend I put together a quick example of using CoreImage in MonoTouch to adjust the Contrast, Saturation and Brightness of an image. It looks like this:. The code is available in a gist. To use simply create a new MonoTouch Empty iPhone Project and paste in the code/create the files. There is also a CoreImage project.

ConceptDev (Craig Dunn's blog): Microsoft Band (day 7: heart rate)

http://conceptdev.blogspot.com/2014/11/microsoft-band-day-7.html

ConceptDev (Craig Dunn's blog). Thursday, 6 November 2014. Microsoft Band (day 7: heart rate). So far I've had the Band a week, and it's been on my wrist almost every second of that time (except charging). I'm surprised by how easily I got used to wearing it - it is still chunky, but light enough that I can cope :-). Paired with both the Polar and Strava apps. The Polar H7 chest strap. And of course you can view the data from the Polar chest-strap in more detail on the Strava website:. Only on the intern...
