This week we have selected Hardware Info by team Nokia Developer as our Featured Project. A Windows Phone based project that aims to provide availability/non-availability of various hardware features of the device. The project basically consists of a Pivot control which has two views integrated, one named as ‘Availability’ displays the status of availability of hardware features(like accelerometer,gyroscope,FM radio etc) in the form of list while the second view ‘Characteristics’ displays the resolution of the device along with the memory info for the application itself.
The project also proves beneficial to those who have an application dependent on some hardware feature(like Front Camera) but that is not available in all the phone models available,thereby that can set to hidden etc. as per the requirement. Source code availability is one of the important feature which makes this project more usable for others.
We are always looking for such cool & usable projects, so if you have one such in mind then don’t delay to share/host it with Nokia Developer Projects.
