What Uri Protocols Exist on Windows Phone 8

What URI protocols exist on Windows Phone 8?

URI schemes for Add new and Edit contact in windows phone 8.1

To add a new contact you don't need a Uri scheme as its actually a Phone Task.

For windowsphone os 8 and below there is a specific library to implement all such functions as Microsoft.Phone.Tasks

Your contact Add problem solution example can be found here

Windows Phone 8 Reserved URI / File Associations

As of Windows Phone 8.1, the best approach is to register as a target for the share contract. This enables you to show up whenever the user wishes to share a file of a particular type from any app on the phone.

Prior to WP8.1, extending the photos share picker is your only option.

Looking for example Windows Phone 8 app that has registered a URI protocol with Windows Marketplace

Michelin Guide has registered the michelin: protocol.

e.g. michelin://Datasheet/?id=70972

---

Nokia Music has registered the nokia-music: protocol.

e.g. nokia-music://play/artist/?artist=deadmau5

Windows Phone 8.1 Store app - Link to store

In Windows Phone 8.1, We can use ms-windows-store protocol to link to the store.

To detail page:

var uri = new Uri(string.Format("ms-windows-store:navigate?appid={0}", appid));
await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri);

To review page:

var uri = new Uri(string.Format("ms-windows-store:reviewapp?appid={0}", appid));
await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri);

To search page:

var uri = new Uri(string.Format(@"ms-windows-store:search?keyword={0}",keyword));
await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri);

Windows Phone 8.1 : how to Launch an Installed app From My app

If the app has a registered URI, then you should be able to use Launcher.LaunchUriAsync for this. You can also find some help, here at MSDN - How to launch the default app for a URI.

Otherwise I don't think it's possible.

Is it possible to launch theme settings or power save mode settings page?

Unfortunately not.

There are no URI schemes for these settings pages. The link you provide lists all of them that are available.

How to send windows phone 8 application data to server

You can try using WebClient's UploadStringAsync() function :

string URI = "http://www.myurl.com/post.php";
string myParameters = "param1=value1¶m2=value2¶m3=value3";

var wc = new WebClient();
wc.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
wc.UploadStringAsync(new Uri(URI, UriKind.Absolute), myParameters);
