Camera, Photos, and Media

Abstract

This chapter will walk you through the methods in which a developer can enhance their application’s photo experience by integrating with the built-in extension points provided in the Windows Phone 8 SDK. We will start off the chapter by covering how to access the user’s media library, as well as basic and advanced photo capture integration. We will then demonstrate how to extend your Camera app for media-sharing purposes. Finally, we will wrap up the chapter with a recipe that demonstrates how to incorporate background audio into a Windows Phone application.
