I want to implement a scheduled reminder in a Food/Eating application created in Xamarin Forms (android & ios), that will be displayed at a precise hour on my phone.
Also I want, if it's possible (but I think somehow should be done...), the reminders to be displayed even if the application is not opened. I know that I have some applications installed on my phone, and even if they are closed, the reminders are still displayed.
Could you please help with this topic? I have done some research on the internet but I couldn't found anything that works...
Thank you in advance!
Regards!
you should use AlarmManager in android, please refer to alarm-manager-example.

I am trying to develop a xamarin.forms app which have the functionality to make call and record it.Why I am writing this question is I want some clarifications regarding this.I cant find a proper solution on web.
1 The app workflow will be like this. When user tap on the number on my app it will open the dialer (in Android and iOS). User will complete the call and return back to app.The app will get the call record and store it.
Is this scenario possible with Xamarin.forms? If possible, any links will be appreciated.
2. Suppose the above scenaerio is not possible, then what will be the best approach? I heard about Twilio voip call sdk for xamarin. Is Twilio really support voip call for xamarin? I found these links, but it seems outdated.

https://www.twilio.com/blog/2014/10/twilio-client-for-xamarin-part-2-ios.html Is there any other voip sdk available which will fullfil my requirement.Any help is appreciated. Because I have been stuck on this for days.
EDIT If I implement Twilio calling in web and calling it as a webview in mobile.Can I make work above scenario?
I am developing an Outlook App. That works fine, the app works perfect but we would like to keep the pane open when a user changes the email.
After googleing for some time I couldn't find a solution for this problem. Can you guys help?
It is not possible in the current version of Office.
it is possible in outlook 2016. It is called pinnable Taskpane. You can see detail

I'm exploring the end user experience for a beacon prototype but I'm struggling to find any end-user scenarios that involve the app becoming active / opening up on the screen when within range.
I can get the app to send a notification and this is the most likely experience on both Android and iOS but does anyone know if it is possible to get the app to open up?
It's unlikely that I'd want real customers to have their experience interfered with in this way, I think it's ok if the app is already running and is open but not if it's running but not open.
Thanks
On Android this is possible. The reference app for the Android Beacon Library demonstrates how to do exactly this.
On iOS, it is not possible due to OS security restrictions. See here for details. The best you can do is send a local notification to the user when the beacon is detected, then if the user gestures to it, bring up the app.
I assumed you could just add a banner by simply updating it but I saw something in iTunes Connect that made me think I might need to do something else to make the ads run correctly. Any insight is much appreciated, thank you.
Just build it with ads and submit it for review with new binary.
For example in this demo: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/scheduler/index
On a desktop browser, clicking on the event opens an editor. On a mobile touch device, tapping on the event does nothing. This repros also when running Chrome device emulation as iPhone.
Telerik claims that this works here:
http://www.telerik.com/forums/creating-or-editing-event-in-mobile-browser
so I don't understand how they can make that claim.
Can someone please confirm that this does not work, or if I'm doing something wrong? I am just evaluating their product at this stage, so I do not have paid support subscription required to reply on that forum thread.
I figured out the answer to my question. On mobile devices, the scheduler needs to be configured for mobile using mobile:"phone" or mobile:"tablet", as well as instantiate a kendo.mobile.Application.
Here's an example: http://dojo.telerik.com/#ggkrustev/uCiNU
