I am developing a WP7 application and want to post a picture to the wall. I find that it need a URI for the picture but if I want to post a local picture from the mobile, what I should specify here or how can i get the uri for the local picture? Thanks a lot!
The last time I looked at working with the Facebook SDK it wasn't possible to post a local photo to the user's wall; you had to have the photo hosted online somewhere already. However you can post to the user's photos section.
There is a forum post on the App Hub that gives the code for doing this. I think the Facebook C# SDK supports WP7, but I'm not sure if it will simplify this process any further.

I am trying to integrate my java app to google home.
Agenda : Taking the input from the google home as request and sending it to my application as a request parameter and giving back the response to the Google home. This is my agenda.
I am new to google home so if anyone knows how to do this please help me.
Thanks.
You want to look into the Actions on Google platform.
Actions run in the cloud, not on a device. Your Assistant device (such as a Google Home) acts like a browser.
There is a Java/Kotlin library available.
I'm currently writing an WebApi endpoint that is to accept image uploads with associated Descriptions and titles. I want to be able to send this information up in one post rather than sending the image and then the meta data in a subsequent call.
The client sending this is a mobile application written in Xamarin.
Searching the internet I struggled to fine any direction to doing this kind of thing although I'm sure it's possible.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

I have a twitter share button on a webpage. I have submitted my website for twitter cards, and it is approved. I am using the twitter card tags correctly, but I have troubles to get the images appear on the time-line. On the twitter timeline I only see text and the URL. Only when clicking on the tweet, an image appears below (the tweet expands).
I would like to have this image appear on the timeline, without needing to expand the tweet. Is this possible, or am is it necessary to use a service like twitpic or flickr to make this happen?
My first thought is that this is not possible because twitter only accepts certain image websites to publish their images on the twitter timeline, but I cannot find a twitter dev source that confirms this.
This is the normal behaviour for the twitter card.
Please read https://dev.twitter.com/cards/troubleshooting#timeline
The second point of the troubleshooting might be the solution you're looking for: "For photos and animated GIFs, upload the media directly with the Tweet or consider using the Twitter API to upload media." You can also explore the other solutions offered.
UPDATE: It looks like the solution I was proposing refers to sharing content directly from twitter, so it's not an option. See this twitter community thread
I'd like to do a best of application list. It is just a list with a title and an image.
I saw the MarketplaceDetailTask(); who take the marketPlaceId (marketplaceDetailTask.ContentIdentifier).
My question is, is there a way, knowing this Id, to get the image url of the corresponding app ?
I've done some research but nothing about an API or something to return this url.
There is no built-in API in Windows Phone to retrieve this kind of information. However, you can try querying directly the service used by the Zune client. This service isn't publicly documented, but there's a few blog posts explaining how to use it. For instance:

I am using Google Places to render some hotels from a specific area in a website. I was able to get the details like:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?reference=CoQBfAAAAGnd67oCT886cIfOC8m57hGAHyf9saAs8hueRcbguA22mPcazjkk23BWMUOgvrigofuwM1HfRGpLcFtF1WXxv3_n8gb6WgXfaqQFbA0U4_ytSyLyksipx2tjwWU-3EW39ePYtpYhiCwRq9xlNI72Ah4Wv0WytqiJOTF49iTBwCD9EhD1ez5NJDr-pZMI9WagObi3GhQmn9Dum95KN61ZKamJ27wUoJxjvQ&sensor=true&key=[google_key]
If you see the result, it also has a url to official google page.
Is there any way to get the photo of this place from there?
Because the icon parameter does not have the image from here but a specific google image which is the same for all lodging types places.
The Google Places API does not currently support this feature. If you believe this would be a useful feature you can submit a `Places API - Feature Request' here:

Google Places API Photos like Google Maps Photo. It is not Business Photo.
