Weird Windows Phone 8.1 issue


I am creating Windows Phone 8.1 app. I created whole with Windows Phone Emulator and Nokia Lumia 430 mobile Testing. App looks good and works perfectly.

But weird thing I show that when I gave to client. Phone which I am using for test and Windows Emulator have windows, back and search keys outside the screen where as Client Mobile (i.e.Nokia Lumia 640 XL) have on the screen. Due to that screen lower part of the screen cannot been seen.

I have seen that all apps are running above that panel but my app bottom part is getting cover by that panel in Nokia Lumia 640 XL

I wanted to know, how do you guys solve this issue.

Solution

  • This is an issue occurring on some phones with soft keys. You can simulate it in the 720p emulator (enable soft keys on the Sensors tab).

    The post at http://blog.zumicts.com/usecorewindow-without-overlapping-navbar-and-appbar-winphone-8-1/ shows you how to fix this issue buy offsetting your Frame when soft keys are available.
