I'm trying to integrate AdMediator into an Windows Phone 8.1 XAML project. I installed the AdMediator extension and when i access the Ad Networks it only shows Microsoft Advertising, AdDulex,Smaato. Does this mean Admob does not work inside AdMediator, or it needs to be installed manually.
Admob only works on Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight apps. At the moment, there's no SDK for XAML based apps. See this

no fm radio api found for windows phone 8.1 , and UWP
and how trigger radio on/off
i found 'using Microsoft.Devices.Radio' but not works on windows phone 8.1 only works for windows phone 7
In UWP it is now Windows.Devices.Radios, you can refer to the Radio class, but FM is not currently available. You can refer to RadioKind enumeration
Seems this will be supported in the future, I think you may submit a request to add this new feature for development through the Windows Feedback tool.
Yes, it is possible. Make a new project in Visual Studio for Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Silverlight App after installing the installing the appropriate sdk.
and also create two project with win phone silverlight and class and another UWP and reference it in UWP app , now we able to use silverlight api in uwp
In my windows phone 8.1 project I am using MediaCapture Api for capturing photo's, but I experienced issue on the devices that comes with 8.0 and later upgarded to 8.1,
The problem is that on such devices camera capture fails after taking 10-15 images and it's just saves green screen instead of original image.
So what I thought is to create 8.0 class library and use CameraCaptureTask of 8.0.
Will that work? If so than Is it recommended way to do so?
Guessing that your 8.1 project is 8.1 XAML not 8.1 Silverlight the answer is no. The camera API really sucks in 8.1 XAML, if it is a core functionality of your app, just go with 8.1 Silverlight.
I want to integrate admob with adrotator in windows phone 8.1 .
xmlns:adRotator="using:AdRotator"
.....
<adRotator:AdRotatorControl
x:Name="MyAdRotatorControl"
AdHeight="90"
AdWidth="728"
LocalSettingsLocation="defaultAdSettings.xml"
AutoStartAds="True" />
it gives me an error like
Cannot find type System.Windows.Controls.UserControl in module System.Windows.dll.
please give me solution how to use adrotator with windows phone 8.1. thanks in advance.
Right now this is not possible because Ad Rotator uses the Windows Phone 8.0 AdMob SDK. The error you are seeing is the same error you will get when trying to use the Windows Phone 8.0 AdMob SDK inside a Windows Phone 8.1 project. See this google groups post. Until Google releases their AdMob SDK for Windows Phone 8.1, Ad Rotator + AdMob will not work on Windows Phone 8.1.
I have updated my code to WP 8.1 and wanted to organise it better by using Class Libraries.
The doubt comes when I find there are 2 Class library project templates for Windows Phone:
Class Library (Windows Phone)
Class Library (Windows Phone
Silverlight)
If i select template 1, i see the assemblies referenced by default are .NET for Windows Store Apps and Windows Phone 8.1
If i select template 2, i got asked the target version of the Windows Phone OS (8.0 or 8.1) and the assemblies references by default are .NET for Windows Phone and Windows Phone.
Do you know the differences between them?
I have looked into the matter and seems it depends if you want to load the .NET runtime namespaces or not, am i correct? Are there any more differences?
The class library type will depend on whether your main app will be a Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app, or Windows Phone 8.1 XAML app.
The advantage of WP8.1 XAML app is that it is converged with Windows 8.1 - you can even create an Universal App that shares almost all code and xaml between the Win8 and WP8.1 apps.
The advantage of WP8.1 Silverlight app is that it is more closer to the old WP8.0 app - less changes are required, and also it has access to some APIs not available to WP8.1 XAML apps.
I believe, FileOpenPicker was added in Windows Phone SDK 8.1 which supports browsing through the music library, video library etc to let the user select a file. This functionality(API) was not available on windows phone 8 sdk. Problem is that windows phone sdk 8.1 can only be installed over visual studio 2013. I have installed VS2013 and SDK 8.1, When I build an app and try to deploy it on my windows phone running at 8.0 and not 8.1, it throws me an error saying it cannot be installed on this version of windows phone OS.
I wonder, whatsapp did not had any option to browse videos up till sdk 8.0 was released. with the release of sdk 8.1, it lets user to browse videos from the video library. I hope they are also making use of the API mentioned above. But this updated version of whatsapp which supports video library browsing, works on my Windows Phone with OS 8.0?
How were they able to use the API from 8.1 SDK and target the app for windows phone 8.0?
Is there any way I can created an app using SDK 8.1 and target the app to run on windows phone 8.0?
WhatsApp is one of the most popular apps on the Windows Phone platform. As a result, they are occasionally granted access to APIs and capabilities that are not yet available in the public SDK.
