I'm using C# and Windows Phone 8.1 as Universal App.
I used background task by this article: http://www.romasz.net/how-to-add-a-backgroundtask/
I want when my application is in background, open a site and grab html source. I've used this code (in the background project):
public async void Run(IBackgroundTaskInstance taskInstance)
{
Debug.WriteLine("Background started\nRetrieving data");
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(new Uri("http://mysite"));
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)await request.GetResponseAsync();
string pageSource = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
pageSource = (System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlDecode(pageSource));
Debug.WriteLine("source: " + pageSource);
ToastTemplateType toastTemplate = ToastTemplateType.ToastText02;
XmlDocument toastXml = ToastNotificationManager.GetTemplateContent(toastTemplate);
XmlNodeList textElements = toastXml.GetElementsByTagName("text");
textElements[0].AppendChild(toastXml.CreateTextNode("My first Task - Yeah"));
textElements[1].AppendChild(toastXml.CreateTextNode("source: " + pageSource));
ToastNotificationManager.CreateToastNotifier().Show(new ToastNotification(toastXml));
}
Here is my debug output for background:
