Introduction
Windows Phone 8 platform supports app-to-app protocol for 3rd party applications. It means that we can launch one app from another app by using Launching API for Windows Phone. This article describes how to use Nokia Music app-to-app protocol for Windows Phone 8 in our application to avail Nokia Music service. The Nokia Music Windows Phone API provides Launchers that allow easy integration with Nokia Music. Using this URI Scheme, we can launch Nokia Music app, search for an artist or an album, get details of a particular song or an album, get nearest gigs etc.
What is app-to-app protocol ?
App-to-app protocols allow one app to launch another app with a specific URI Scheme. With Windows Phone 8, we can also register our app as 3rd party application to support app-to-app protocol and can allow other app to open our app and use elements of our app into their app.
But here we will see how to use Nokia Music API Launchers for Windows Phone 8 to use various services of Nokia Music. To call app-to-app protocol, we need to use Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(Uri) method and pass URI schema in it. For example, to launch Nokia Music app from other app, call Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(Uri) with URI Schema nokia-music://
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(“nokia-music://”));
Note: This code cant be tested on Windows Phone 8 Emulator due to lack of Nokia Music app but can test only on Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8 device. If you want to test this code in Emulator, You need .xap file of Nokia music to install Nokia Music app manually.
Nokia Music app-to-app protocol
Here are the list of Nokia Music app-to-app protocol with example.
Launch App
| Task | URI |
|---|---|
| Launch App | nokia-music:// |
Example:
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(“nokia-music://”));
Search Artist
| Task | URI |
|---|---|
| Search | nokia-music://search/anything/?term={searchtext} |
Example:
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(“nokia-music://search/anything/?term=green day”));
Show Artist Details
| Task | URI |
|---|---|
| Show Artist Details By Id | nokia-music://show/artist/?id={id} |
| Show Artist Details By name | nokia-music://show/artist/?name={name} |
Example:
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(“ nokia-music://show/artist/?name=green day”));
Play Artist Mix
| Task | URI |
|---|---|
| Play an Artist Mix | nokia-music://play/artist/?artist={name} |
Example:
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(“nokia-music://play/artist/?artist=green day”));
Show Gigs Around You
| Task | URI |
|---|---|
| Show Gigs Around You | nokia-music://show/gigs |
Example:
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(“nokia-music://show/gigs”));
Search for Gigs
| Task | URI |
|---|---|
| Search for Gigs | nokia-music://search/gigs/?term={term} |
Example:
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(“nokia-music://show/gigs”));
Show Curated Mixes
| Task | URI |
|---|---|
| Show Curated Mixes | nokia-music://show/mixes |
Example:
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(“nokia-music://show/mixes”));
Play a Curated Mix
| Task | URI |
|---|---|
| Play a Curated Mix | nokia-music://play/mix/?id={id} |
Example:
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(“nokia-music://play/mix/?id=18523926”));
Show Product Details (e.g. Album)
| Task | URI |
|---|---|
| Show Product Details (e.g. Album) | nokia-music://show/product/?id={id} |
Example:
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(“nokia-music://show/product/?id=36100035”));
