Module Agenda

Create background tasks

Consume background tasks

Integrate WinRT components into a solution

What is a background task?

Run code even if the app is not running

Features already available

Windows push notifications

Playback Manager for audio in background

Background transfer API for upload/download files

Share contracts

Appropriate scenarios for background task?

Downloading new content for app (such as mail)

Show toast notification (such as a chat request)

Updating service with change (such as user present)

Not appropriate?

Exhaustive work-loads

Anything requiring user interaction

How to create a background task

Create a javascript worker file

Implement task behaviors in worker file

Register background task

Declare background task in application manifest

task.js // this file runs in context of WorkerGlobalScope(function () {

// importScripts is method of WorkerGlobalScope importScripts( “//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/js/base.js”, “/js/app.js” );

// do work here, possibly using code from /js/app.js

// close is a method of WorkerGlobalScope close();})();

WebUIBackgroundTaskInstance(function () { // imports

// access background task via current property var currentTask = WebUIBackgroundTaskInstance.current; // instanceId, progress, succeeded // getDeferral for async calls within task // canceled event handler

// close})();

BackgroundTaskBuilder// create “namespace”var back = Windows.ApplicationModel.Background; // create instance of BackgroundTaskBuildervar builder = back.BackgroundTaskBuilder();builder.name = “task name”;builder.taskEntryPoint = “js\\task.js”;builder.setTrigger(new back.TimeTrigger(15, false));

// register the taskbuilder.register();

Module Agenda

How tasks are triggeredTrigger type Trigger event Trigger event detailsControlChannelTrigger ControlChannelTrigger On incoming messages on the control channel. MaintenanceTrigger MaintenanceTrigger It’s time for maintenance background tasks. PushNotificationTrigger

PushNotificationTrigger A raw notification arrives on the WNS channel.

SystemEventTrigger InternetAvailable The Internet becomes available.SystemEventTrigger LockScreenApplicationAdded An app tile is added to the lock screen.SystemEventTrigger LockScreenApplicationRemoved An app tile is removed from the lock screen.SystemEventTrigger ControlChannelReset A network channel is reset. SystemEventTrigger NetworkStateChange A network change such as a change in cost or connectivity occurs. SystemEventTrigger OnlineIdConnectedStateChange Online ID associated with the account changes. SystemEventTrigger ServicingComplete The system has finished updating an application.SystemEventTrigger SessionConnected The session is connected.SystemEventTrigger SessionDisconnected The session is disconnected.SystemEventTrigger SmsReceived A new SMS message is received by an installed mobile broadband device.SystemEventTrigger TimeZoneChange The time zone changes on the device (for example, when the system adjusts the clock for daylight

saving time).SystemEventTrigger UserAway The user becomes absent.SystemEventTrigger UserPresent The user becomes present.TimeTrigger TimeTrigger A time event occurs.

Tasks can have conditions

Background task condition The condition that must be satisfied

InternetAvailable The Internet must be available.InternetNotAvailable The Internet must be unavailable.SessionConnected The session must be connected.SessionDisconnected The session must be disconnected.UserNotPresent The user must be away.UserPresent The user must be present.
