Windows phone facebook app navigation


I'm learning Windows Phone development and I have some trouble to identify how the facebook app is working for the navigation.

Could you please tell me what is the component for navigation in red?

Also, what is the green component to support sliding?


Solution

  • The top navigation with icons can be done by using the Pivot control and a ListBox that are both linked together with the selected index. Complete example can be found here http://depblog.weblogs.us/2013/08/29/twitterate-your-windows-phone-app/

    For creating that side slide panel, I would suggest you use this control https://slideview.codeplex.com/ because there is no standard one in the current WP8 framework. ( in Windows 10 there is a SplitView that can do this )
