Maybe it’s right under my nose but I can’t find it. How do you detect the WP8 resolution at run-time when it’s from a background agent?
There’s MSDN multi-resolution article that provides a way, but it uses the App object:
App.Current.Host.Content.ScaleFactor
I don’t think this object is available in a background agent.
Thanks!
I don’t think it’s possible from within the background agent, but you can detect the resolution when the app is first launched and store it in IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings. Then you can use these values in your background agent.
