Windowsphone8 outsourcing team Beijing node flying software-install Windows Phone 8 SDK and Simulator

Recently, not only Windows 8 is available, but Windows Phone 8 is also available for mobile phones. Then we can see the final version of Windows Phone 8 SDK. Now that you already have a Windows 8 Pro tablet, let's take a look at the Touch Experience of Windows Phone 8.

 

A good computer can simulate WP8

At present, Microsoft has released the WP8 SDK download and provided the configuration requirements. To smoothly run the WP8 mobile phone simulator included in this SDK, its system requirements are not low, the operating system must be Windows 8 Pro or later, and the physical memory must not be less than 4 GB. the disk space available is at least 4 GB, but when you install the software, you will find that its capacity is faster than 7 GB.

 

 

WP8 SDK is easy to set

A major prerequisite for installing this SDK is to enable hyper-V. Haha, didn't we get it done when we made the new surface pro just now? It's really worth the effort. After installing the SDK, enable hyper-V to find another virtual machine. You can click vs express for Windows Phone on the metro interface to go to the start page of Visual Studio express 2012 for Windows Phone.

Create a project from the file options in the upper left corner, and select the Windows Phone applicationProgramTemplate. For the platform, select Windows Phone OS 8.0. After entering the page, you can select a simulated environment in the green triangle on the top, and the displayed on the Left can be distinguished by the phone you want to simulate. After the selection, click the green triangle to enable the simulator. It takes some time to enable the simulator (once again proving that the configuration requirements are really not low), and then you can see a WP8 mobile phone simulator.

Win8 Metro testbed again

At this time, you can use the mouse to operate the simulator. But to be honest, it is a brainless action to control a mobile phone system with the mouse. To fully experience the WP8 system, you only need to use touch. Haha, do we still have Win8 Metro testbed? Why not use it to change the PC to a WP8 mobile phone!

Experience WP8 System

After Win8 Metro testbed is used to assign the touch function to the PC, the simulator actually has the complete touch function, and because WP8 and Windows 8 touch gestures are completely consistent, therefore, the operation can be completely simulated, and WP8 does not have a border operation bar. Using such a condition to use iPad for WP8 system experience can basically be completely simulated.

It means that the page is not much different from the current wp7.5. I estimate that the operation will be performed in the lowest configuration mode, but the smoothness of the WP8 mobile phone simulation is still satisfactory. However, we can see from the details that Microsoft's multi-platform system integration goal is. In the game, I found the Xbox interface, which means that the WP8 mobile phone will be bound to the Xbox account. In fact, you can bind your Xbox account to the Windows 8 app store on the desktop, the integration of PC, mobile platform, and game host multi-platform enables Microsoft to have more powerful competitiveness on the Home Entertainment platform.

E-wallet is a function currently not available for wp7.5 mobile phones. This function allows NFC-supported WP8 mobile phones to have the payment function, you can save your credit card, coupon, and various member information in your mobile wallet, and set a payment password to prevent unauthorized credit card swiping.

Another interesting thing is that WP8 can finally set the background! This problem, which has been criticized by many WP powders for a long time, can finally be solved. However, the simulator is still too simple and only supports the black and white background of the device, but this is also a huge step, I believe that the official version of WP8 is rich and colorful!
