Can live tiles be updated by taking values from the app without firing it in WP7?


I have live tiles in my app and is not a web service app. Live tiles are updated on exiting of the app. So if the user does not open the app for a day it does not get updated.

Can I update without having to go to a server?? Can Tiles take the values from the app by firing the app by itself or can live tiles take values from app with out having the user opening it on a daily basis?

Solution

  • If you register a PeriodicTask and you will have 25 seconds to execute every 30 minutes, during which time you can update your live tiles.
