I just come across about ibeacons technology which introduced by Apple but haven't got any API/framework from Microsoft.
Is there any API or framework available from Microsoft which gives support for Ibeacons implementation?
Thanks
Unfortunately, this is not possible with Windows Phone 8, because it only supports Bluetooth 3.1 iBeacons require Bluetooth 4.0, also known as BluetoothLE.
In October 2013, Nokia announced that upcoming phones would have Bluetooth LE support. Unfortunately, these only allow OS-level pairing with Bluetooth LE devices. There is no public api.
This makes it impossible to develop a third-party iBeacon Library for the Windows Phone similar to the Android iBeacon Library.
Unfortunately, Windows Phone users will have to wait for a later release with either native iBeacon support or a public BluetoothLE API that allows a third party to develop a Windows iBeacon Library.
Update: this appears to remain impossible with Windows Phone 8.1. See my comment on the answer from #keni
Update:
Windows 10 will support Bluetooth LE Advertisements. Current status as of today (4/23/2015) is that the preview build of Windows 10 still has an incomplete SDK implementation and a few bugs. However, next week a new build will be introduced and it can be safely assumed that we'll get a good glimpse on how this will actually work.
Sending and receiving pure Advertisements works already. Have a look at the Sample that you can download from github here:https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/bluetoothadvertisement
Update
a public BluetoothLE API will come in Window Phone 8.1

right now, I’m on a study project for School. I'm french. I have the Mavic Air drone, and I do to control my drone with my computer. DJI Developer has some SDK for different plateforme, whose a Windows SDK. But it was in beta version and he don't support the fly mod.
I think, to take the OX SDK (Android Version in JAVA) and translate it into a Java App for a Windows version. OX SDK support drone control commands. You thinks it's a good ideas ? And some people can help to translate this app ?
Can you help me find a solution? Have you some command-line to give to me?
Thanks you all.
It's unclear from your question if you've actually tried to implement the Windows 10 SDK and ran into difficulties or if you saw something which stated flight is not supported by the SDK. According to the SDK documentation (https://developer.dji.com/windows-sdk/), high & low level flight control are supposed to be supported. For example, the ComponentManager.FlightControllerHandler has methods such as StartTakeoffAsync, StartGoHomeAsync, etc. Joystick control is available via the VirtualRemoteController.UpdateJoystickValue method. So far, I have only used these while my Mavic Air is in simulation mode (without propellers on!) and haven't encountered any issues. But I haven't seen any documentation that states the beta SDK doesn't support actual flight either. Before launching into a conversion effort (does DJI even provide the source? I haven't checked...), I'd stick with with Win10 SDK.
I am looking for some purchasing assistance. I have tried registering on the DJI Forums as well as the DEV forums but I cannot seem to post anything anywhere. I have emailed DJI but I have not yet received any response from them.
I recently watched the Microsoft build conference 2018 vision Keynote. I was fascinated with the presentation about the Windows sdk and the Mavic air. So much so that I want to buy a drone. The video is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EruH-4Fvecc (watch from around 3:30)
I want to buy myself a drone and I fell in love with the Mavic Pro. I would just love to get some info on one or two things.
The demo at the conference was done using a Mavic Air drone. Will I be able to do the same on a Mavic Pro using the new Windows SDK?
I am interested in the live video feed and processing of that feed as it was demonstrated. I believe this has something to do with IOT edge. Again, will I be able to do this on a Mavic Pro?
I don't see the sdk available on the dev site. I saw the guidance sdk but I believe this is something else and not the same sdk which DJI is currently working on with Microsoft. Any idea when this will officially launch?
I want to ensure I buy the correct drone to fit my needs. It would be a lot of money to spend only to find out later that I cannot do with it what I intend to. Information on this subject is very scarce online.
Yes. Mavic Pro will be covered in the final release of WindowsSDK.
Live video feed is a standard feature provided by the SDK. The IoT Edge stack consumes the feed and runs additional software (in the case of the demo, the AI stack that detects the damages)
The WindowsSDK is currently given as an exclusivity to Build attendees. It will later be released to the rest of DJI developer community (early June) through developer.dji.com. The final release is for the end of 2018.
Source: I run developer technologies at DJI.
The SDK is now downloadable (since end of Oktober, beginning of November 2018?) from https://developer.dji.com/windows-sdk/
Only needs a DJI account, I think, which you should have (and might need anyway) when you fly any DJI drone.
I'm trying to learn something about iBeacon and I have a question:
As far as I understood Apple provides API in order to develop iBeacons app since IOS7, but for android how does it work? The only thing I found is that It works only from version 4.3 (Is it correct?) But are there any sdk or library to use?
Yes, you can use the open source Android Beacon Library, which gives Android the same basic capabilities to detect and transmit as beacons as provided by CoreLocation on iOS devices. This library is designed to be vendor neutral, and works with a wide variety of beacons. There are also a number of proprietary Android SDKs offered by beacon manufacturers, some of which harness special features that only work with those beacons.
The main thing to understand on Android is that while 4.3+ devices can all detect Bluetooth LE transmissions, there is no native beacon framework, and working with beacons typically requires quite a bit of logic beyond reading the Bluetooth LE packets they send out. As a result, Android beacon apps typically bundle a small library like mentioned above with the app to provide beacon detection and/or transmission capability.
Full disclosure: I am the lead developer for the Android Beacon Library.
You can use as well kontakt.io Android SDK which handles Beacons with IBeacon profile. In the latest release some optimizations in terms of battery consumption were made. Additionally, it supports filtering and modes (Android Lollipop and upwards) according to which scan is performed (explanation in brief here).
To start, visit http://docs.kontakt.io/android-sdk/quickstart/ and follow the instructions.
There is a sample app demonstrating SDK functionalities here. I suggest observing the project as it is the first place where new changes are being introduced.
As #davidgyoung pointed, there is no native framework for IBeacons in Android at the moment.
I developed sip application in Android. and now I am developing it in Windows Phone 8. I am new in Windows phone and don't know anything that Which library should be use here? Do Microsoft provide free library for SIP?
Please any suggest me Which way will be best for developing or any source code or library or demo application?
I think you can start from this example.
There is a full sample app there.
Take a look at boghe, it's the SIP video client for Windows Phone 8 and Surface Pro. You'll learn a lot from there.
It also cover VoIP apps for Windows Phone 8, which teaches you to integrate VoIP into WP8 experience
I am developing windows mobile application to scan a product barcode by using in built camera. Can you tell me something about barcode reader sdk which are supporting windows mobile 7?
In Windows Phone 7, with the upcoming Mango update, there will be direct access to the camera feed, without having to take a picture of the barcode. Prior to Mango, there is a library that can be downloaded from Codeplex, called ZXIng (Zebra Crossing). http://silverlightzxing.codeplex.com/
Are you developing for Windows Phone, or Windows Mobile? There is no Windows Mobile 7 - with the complete rewrite, the name changed to Windows Phone.
There is always this library (zxing):
http://silverlightzxing.codeplex.com/
It does a pretty decent job, and is able to read a number of different barcodes/qrcodes/and so on.
I updated the link to the silverlight version.
You can see the documentation here:
http://silverlightzxing.codeplex.com/documentation
It's fairly easy to implement, as he's given everything you need for WP7.
