Windiws 8 search for contact by phone number - windows

I know how to use the ContactPicker to pick a contact from the people app and get the contact details, but I do not know how to search for a contact and get the contact details by a phone number for example.
Anybody has some sample JavaScript code?


I don't think there's any way to search or iterate through the contacts. You could open the Search charm and seed it with the phone number you want to search for using SearchPane.Show(), but it does not seem like the People app searches by phone number. It also seems like you cannot get phone number data from the hotmail SDK for contacts.

Search API for Windows Phone 8.1?

I'm developing an app on Windows Phone 8.1. I would like to let users type a name of a place, a restaurant for example, as an autocomplete event, and retrieve all the related places according to the name of the restaurant. Did somebody use something like that on windows phone 8.1 ? Is There a google place api that can be used for Windows Phone 8.1 or a nice Bing Search api ? About the last option, could someone confirm that we need to pay that service according to the number of transactions (requests)?

So you would like to use some service which offers that data either for free or at some cost? There is no such general purpose service, but you can leverage some existing:
Foursqare has a list of places nearby. These often include Batcave or Hogwarts though.
Google Places - https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/
You can build a startup around correct places search API :)

wp8 how do i tell if a user has rated my app

I can get a user to rate my windows phone 8 app by displaying the REviewTask. However, I can't tell if they actually submitted a rating.
Is there some way to tell if a user of my app has rated it?
For bonus points, can I tell what rating they gave?

There is really no way to tell this. You may be able to retrieve a list of reviews (and related informations such as rate, user name, device model), but you can't associate them to a specific Windows phone device.
I would advice to generate a code for users who are using your app and then make them type it into the review. So that, when you fetch the list of reviews, if you are able to find that code, the user rate your app. You can finally also check which rating they gave you.

How to get user phone number in palm webOS

i am going to develop an application in palm webOS, for that i need to get phone number from device. Is it possible to get phone number?. please help me to get phone number from palm device. ThanQ...

There is no way through the use of the official APIs to get that information, just like accessing contacts emails, this would allow potential misuse.

You could always use the nuid. Not sure if that will be useful for your app:
