API Usage

Pre-requisites

1. Visual Studio 2015 or 2017 RC with Xamarin or Xamarin Studio
2. Register your applciation and obtain an MSA client ID from https://apps.dev.microsoft.com

Getting Started

Initialize the Connected Devices Platform

Platform.FetchAuthCode += Platform_FetchAuthCode;
var result = await Platform.InitializeAsync(this.ApplicationContext, CLIENT_ID);

The FetchAuthCode handler is used when the platform needs an authorization code from the user (i.e. form OAuth with Microsoft Account). See the sample for more details.

private async void Platform_FetchAuthCode(string oauthUrl)
{
    var authCode = await AuthenticateWithOAuth(oauthUrl);
    Platform.SetAuthCode(token);
}

Now, discover devices

private RemoteSystemWatcher _remoteSystemWatcher;
private void DiscoverDevices()
{
    _remoteSystemWatcher = RemoteSystem.CreateWatcher();
    _remoteSystemWatcher.RemoteSystemAdded += (sender, args) =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Discovered Device: " + args.P0.DisplayName);
    };
    _remoteSystemWatcher.Start();
}

Finally, connect and launch URIs using LaunchUriAsync

private async void RemoteLaunchUri(RemoteSystem remoteSystem, Uri uri)
{
    var launchUriStatus = await RemoteLauncher.LaunchUriAsync(new RemoteSystemConnectionRequest(remoteSystem), uri);
}
