M2soft update : Microsoft Band SDK available for app developers

Microsoft has now launched the full version of its SDK for Microsoft Band For all platforms. With the help of this SDK  Developers can create Windows 10 apps using Android and iOS code.

A preview SDK had been available since February, but apps created using that could not access all the features and sensors of the Band.

Additional functionality to the SDK includes the ability to:

1. Build apps that support Windows.

2. Create your own custom layouts for pages on third-party tiles using icons, text, buttons, and barcodes for payment options.

3. Receive events and button-click callbacks from the Microsoft Band to your phone app. If you press a button on a page inside your tile, your app would know which button was pressed.

4. Connect to the Band from background tasks.

5. Tap into calorie subscription from the Microsoft Band.

The SDK allows Windows, Windows Phone, Android and iOS developers to create apps for Microsoft Band by taking advantage of all sensors in the wearable device. 

Until now, they have only had access to a slightly paired down SDK, but with this version they can build fully fledged apps that support Windows, create custom layouts, access the device from background tasks and get data from Microsoft’s calorie subscription service. 

At the same time as launching the full SDK, Microsoft has also made available sample code for developers to download.

Useful Xcode Features to Simplify iOS App Development

There are many small but highly useful features in xcode. But sometimes either we are not aware of them or may not be using those features at its optimum level.

In this article we will see 6 useful features of xcode which we can use during ios application development.

1. FIXME :

FIXME tag is used to remind yourself of things that you need to fix back again at some later stage.

2. TODO :

TODO tag is used to remind yourself of things that you need to get back to at some point. It is found at the top of the source file within the main comment block to remind us of features that need to update or add. Here you can see that.

3.  #Warning :

I#Warning  is used when you want to differentiate code into two category. One is for experiment and another is actual. For example.

If we change 0(zero) to 1(one). Than warning is automatically removed as shown below.

4. po

PO command is useful at debug time.Normally, to print the value of a variable we have to move mouse pointer there and click on it and select print description print value of it. This is sometimes not programming friendly. With po command, this can be done easily and quickly.

5. Code snippets :

Well formatted code is vital for any complex application. So it is easy for other iOS developer to understand the code For this we will have to organize code in a standard format. But to organize code of larger applications, it will take some time. Xcode provides a functionality called snippets library. With the use of it we can organize code easily.

 

Xcode provides Code Snippets Library section where you can find all default code snippets provided by it. We can also create our custom code snippets as per our need.

6. Find your File

To find file Quickly in a project press cmd + shift + o.
Open Quickly window will open. Write just name of your file that you are looking for and then press Enter. It will redirect you on that file.

These are the things that might be very useful in coding if you are iOS developer.

Now Let me know "what do you think about this article"... share with us in COMMENTS..

US mobile carrier is trying  new way to transform the way people buy mobile phones for T-mobiles.In a new program that they call “Test Drive”,In a new program that they call “Test Drive”, T-Mobile is offering free trials to potential customers, offering them an apple iPhone 5S and 7 days of unlimited service to give their network a spin.

       According to the company, let the customers see if they get good reception at their home and office.

There is, of course, at least one small catch: they put a $700 (APPROX. 42000 in rs) hold on your credit card until the device is returned and, if you beat the thing up, they’ll charge you $100 ( APPROX 6000 in rs).


        The fourth-ranked mobile carrier says nearly half of total customers who have signed up for a wireless plan have wanted to leave their provider, and that one in 10 has quit within 30 days of making a switch. The free trial will give customers a chance to try before they buy at no cost.

The company said customers can sign up for a "test drive " online starting from Monday, and they'll receive a phone in the mail a few days later.
