windows phone 8.0 MediaElement plays sound without any call - windows-phone-7

When i click button no 1 , MediaElement will play the pronunciation of that sentence . then if i click button no 2 i will navigate to SoundRecord page . then if i click the back button to previous page (as you see in the picture ) again , MediaElement play the previous pronunciation that you have chosen without call any function ...
what is the reason and how can i fix this problem ?
also this is the code for play the sound files :
public void PlayPronunciation(string fileName, MediaElement soundPlayer)
{
var path = string.Format("Assets/Audio/{0}.mp3", fileName);
soundPlayer.Source = new Uri(path, UriKind.Relative);
soundPlayer.AutoPlay = true;
if (soundPlayer.CurrentState == MediaElementState.Stopped)
soundPlayer.Play();
}
For temporary solution in page unload event i did something like this but i think this not a nice way to fix my problem :
private void PhoneApplicationPage_Unloaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
SoundPlayer.AutoPlay = false;
}

Remove this line: soundPlayer.AutoPlay = true; if you use
if (soundPlayer.CurrentState == MediaElementState.Stopped)
soundPlayer.Play();`
Set AutoPlay="False" in the xaml and delete any soundPlayer.AutoPlay=true; from your code
Change this:
if (soundPlayer.CurrentState == MediaElementState.Stopped)
to this:
if (soundPlayer.CurrentState != MediaElementState.Playing)

xamarin android (not forms) button tag

I need to pass some additional information with a button press. From what I could gather reading on the web I should use a button tag.
So far I have this
Button button = new Button(this);
button.Text = "Test Button";
button.SetBackgroundColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Black);
button.SetTextColor(Android.Graphics.Color.White);
button.Tag = "hello";
button.Click += ClickEvent;
And this is the handler:
public void ClickEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Android.Widget.Button button = (Android.Widget.Button)sender;
var test = button.Tag;
}
This works, but I need to be able to pass 3 ints of data. I have tried using an array but I have no idea how to read it in the handler as it comes back as a java.object.
Can anyone please push me in the right direction?

Is it possible to embed a video to Windows Media Player?

I have a winform app in visual studio. On the main interface I have panels ( home panel, about us panel & contact us panel ). When I click the button that takes me to the home panel, I want the video to be there already( in Windows media player obviously ). And to be played automatically when the “ home panel button “ is clicked. The client shouldn’t have to go and look for the video.
Is there a way to do this?
Please help.
Add WMP control to the "Toolbox" panel in Visual Studio: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/wmp/using-the-windows-media-player-control-with-microsoft-visual-studio
Drag WMP control from Toolbox to your Home panel in the form designer.
Add the video to the project and in it's properties, choose "Copy if newer" in "Copy to Output Directory" option.
Override Form.OnLoad or find another suitable place and add code that gives the player the URL of the video and sets other properties.
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnLoad(e);
var location = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
var folder = Path.GetDirectoryName(location);
var path = Path.Combine(folder, "small.avi");
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = path;
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.uiMode = "none";
// autoplay if current page index is 0 (home?)
if (tabControl1.SelectedIndex == 0)
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.play();
}
If you want the player to restart playback everytime the page gets displayed, add handler to TabControl.SelectedIndexChanged event:
this.tabControl1.SelectedIndexChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.TabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged);
and implement it like this:
private void TabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (tabControl1.SelectedIndex == 0)
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.play();
}

back button handling wp7

My problem is that I have a list. When I long press a particular item in the list then it opens a context menu and when I click on a menu item inside context menu then it opens a popup,so on pressing the hardware back button i want that i again go back to the list.
so for doing this my code is:
protected override void OnBackKeyPress(object sender,System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
if (calendarDescripton.Visibility == Visibility.Visible)
{
calendarDescripton.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
e.Cancel = true;
}
}
After using this code when I click the button that opens the list,the application exits,it does not open list also.
I think first the Navigation should be canceled, before making any other changes. Try this
protected override void OnBackKeyPress(object sender,System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
if (calendarDescripton.Visibility == Visibility.Visible)
{
e.Cancel = true;
calendarDescripton.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}
}
If this doesn't help, place a break piont at the if condition and check if it is entering inside the if or not
If the break point doesn't hit, means there is something wrong with your Navigation approach.
If you are using NavigationService.Navigate() method for page navigation, it should work.
Otherwise, if you are using,
App.Current.RootVisual = new MyPage();, then BackKey cannot be overridden.

prompt confirmation dialog when exit app

I am working on an app on wp7.
I hope to prompt a confirmation dialog when user exit app (press back button).
Is it possible?
Welcome any comment
Please handle the BackKeyPress button in the Application page to handle the back key press.
In Page.xaml file in the element add this code
BackKeyPress="PhoneApplicationPage_BackKeyPress"
it should look like
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage BackKeyPress="PhoneApplicationPage_BackKeyPress"
..//other attributes .. >
in event handler you write the code as follows
private void PhoneApplicationPage_BackKeyPress(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
MessageBoxResult mb = MessageBox.Show("You want exit the page", "Alert", MessageBoxButton.OKCancel);
if( mb != MessageBoxResult.OK)
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
}
It's possible to catch when the user exits pressing the Back button, but it is not possible to stop the application from being made "dormant" when the user presses the hardware Start button or Search buttons.
You can stop back navigation by set e.Cancel in back key press event.
In MainPage.xaml.cs constructor:
OnBackKeyPress += (s, e) =>
{
if (MessageBox.Show("", "", MessageBoxButtons.OkCancel) == MessageBoxButtons.Cancel)
{
e.Cancel = true;
};
};

PhotoChooserTask + Navigation

I taken two Images & added event (MouseButtonDown) for them.
When first image handles event to open Gallery. Second image handles events for open camera.
When user has choosed his image from the gallery, I want to navigate to next page. Its navigates. But before completing navigation process, it displays MainPage & then moves toward next page. I didnt want to display the MainPage once user chooses the image from the gallery.
Plz help.
Thanks in advance.
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
PhotoChooserTask objPhotoChooser;
CameraCaptureTask cameraCaptureTask;
// Constructor
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
objPhotoChooser = new PhotoChooserTask();
objPhotoChooser.Completed += new EventHandler<PhotoResult>(objPhotoChooser_Completed);
cameraCaptureTask = new CameraCaptureTask();
cameraCaptureTask.Completed += new EventHandler<PhotoResult>(objCameraCapture_Completed);
}
void objPhotoChooser_Completed(object sender, PhotoResult e)
{
if (e != null && e.TaskResult == TaskResult.OK)
{
//Take JPEG stream and decode into a WriteableBitmap object
App.CapturedImage = PictureDecoder.DecodeJpeg(e.ChosenPhoto);
//Delay navigation until the first navigated event
NavigationService.Navigated += new NavigatedEventHandler(navigateCompleted);
}
}
void navigateCompleted(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Do the delayed navigation from the main page
this.NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/ImageViewer.xaml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
NavigationService.Navigated -= new NavigatedEventHandler(navigateCompleted);
}
void objCameraCapture_Completed(object sender, PhotoResult e)
{
if (e.TaskResult == TaskResult.OK)
{
//Take JPEG stream and decode into a WriteableBitmap object
App.CapturedImage = PictureDecoder.DecodeJpeg(e.ChosenPhoto);
//Delay navigation until the first navigated event
NavigationService.Navigated += new NavigatedEventHandler(navigateCompleted);
}
}
protected override void OnBackKeyPress(System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
private void image1_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
objPhotoChooser.Show();
}
private void image2_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
cameraCaptureTask.Show();
}
To my knowledge when you use one of the choosers, like the Photo gallery or the camera, when your application is activating it will take it back to the page you left it. I don't think there is a way to get around this itself. What you would have to do is catch the Activating event in your main page code and Navigate to the desired page from there.
Now I am not completely sure how you would pass the image from the MainPage to the target page. It does not look like there is a property in the Navigation service to store this value. But you could either set it in an application wide variable, ModelView or even store it in the Isolated Storage area.
You could work around this by navigating to an intermediate blank page and have that intermediate page launch the tasks. When the tasks are completed you can then navigate as normal to your new page and only this blank page will show in transit.
Chris is correct that some of the tasks will navigate away from your app (effectively tombstoning it) and will the re-activate your application when the user returns from the task. For the camera this is particularly difficult, as to my knowledge there is no simple way to detect when you are returning from the camera. Also the camera doesn't work when attached to the debugger or Zune software (at least this is true on my HTC Surround), which makes troubleshooting quite difficult!
In my WP7 Barcode Scanning application I ended up using flags on the PhoneApplicationService class to help track where the navigation events are coming from. Something like:
PhoneApplicationService.Current.State["ReturnFromSampleChooser"] = true;
You can then check for these flags in the PhoneApplicationPage_Loaded or OnNavigatedTo method of your main page and redirect to the desired page as needed. Just make sure to clear the flag and be careful to not cause any loops in the navigation, as that might make your app fail certification (back button must ALWAYS work correctly).
For an example of how to use the camera and set/clear flags using PhoneApplicationService check out the source code for the Silverlight ZXing Barcode Library. You can download the full source here or browse the files online.
