I am developing a metro application using visual studio 2012. I am trying to get an AppBar in my metro application. How do I do that?
There are a LOT of samples in the MSDN Dev Center, http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsapps. One of them is specifically an AppBar sample, and the description reads:
This sample demonstrates how to use the AppBar control to present
navigation, commands, and tools to users.
The app bar is hidden by default and appears when users swipe a finger
from the top or bottom edge of the screen. It covers the content of
the app and can be dismissed by the user with an edge swipe, or by
interacting with the app. This sample shows how to add an app bar,
customize the app bar, and control the app bar. Also, it shows how to
use sticky app bars and global app bars.
I think this will get you started.

I am using the library react-navigation-drawer for my app side menu.
My app should be working on iphone and iPad as well.
The default side menu of this library is working well on iPhone.
But on iPad, side menu should be always visible on my app.
I could implement this by drawerLockMode:'locked-open' on some pages.
But Side menu has been overlayed on content screen. and could not doing any actions on content screen.
Even content screen has been pushed aside as width of side menu.
Anyone help me how to implement the responsive side menu on iPhone and iPad?
Thanks
whenever app is running on iPad, set drawerType={'permanent'} for Drawer.Navigator

I develop application both with WPF and GTK platforms using Xamarin forms. I decided to hide the default navbar using NavigationPage.HasNavigationBar="False", but after that, I got an extra space at the bottom of the app window. On WPF everything works good, this bug occurs only in GTX platform.
It looks like this navbar became transparent and moved to the bottom.

On Windows app everything works good, this bug occurs only in Linux app.
Not understanding occurs in Linux app .
By the way , if want to hide NavigationBar in forms , as follow will work :
NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(this,false);
I have just started exploring Titanium.
I am looking for components/help to accomplish the standard Android sub-window back-navigation, where you have the app icon and back functionality in the upper left corner.
I checked the tutorials/SDK and kitchen sink project but don't seem to be able to find anything similar.
On their page with sample customer apps seems to be at least one app that demonstrates this type of navigation, which makes me think it should be available.
Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.
In our Android/iOS application, we use the standard iOS navigation, but on the Android side we built our own custom header view to implement our navigation. This view is added to the top of all other windows and/or main views.
We hooked the android:back button to trigger the navigation view's back feature as well, so we support both "standards".
Before windows 8, if application want to non-intrusively inform user that something happens, it displays tray icon, maybe animated. For example, if e-mail application finds a new e-mail, it displays a new tray icon (outlook) or animate it's own icon in tray (all other e-mail clients).
With new Windows 8 Metro UI it's a new screen with tiles that supposed to be a main thing user will use to launch and switch apps. Where is no tray area in this mode, but many other things - charms area, something like status area that displays clock and battery usage etc.
According to Microsoft Metro UI design guides - what is the new place for poor e-mail app notification icon?
I think what you want is a notification. There are three kinds of notifications: a tile update, a badge update on the tile or a "toast" in the upper right corner of the screen (when in another application). The various options for these types of notifications are listed here.
The new place to let someone know your app has updated information is the tile itself.
These are called "Live Tiles" because they're intended to be dynamic, and change as new data becomes available.

I'm developing metro-style app for Windows 8. Currently I use buttons with arrows for navigation in my app but I want to handle gestures (just like in IE for changing pages, from left to right). How I can achieve this?
If your application is not too complicated, is FlipView an option for you?
