Fake Band

Library to enable programming against the Microsoft Band SDK without connecting to a physical band See http://peted.azurewebsites.net/fake-microsoft-band/ for further details and usage

From the package manager console in Visual Studio

Install-Package FakeBand

Then you can use the library like this example:

  FakeBandClientManager.Configure(new FakeBandClientManagerOptions
  {
      Bands = new List<IBandInfo>
      {
          new FakeBandInfo(BandConnectionType.Bluetooth, "Fake Band 1"),
          new FakeBandInfo(BandConnectionType.Bluetooth, "Fake Band 2"),
      }
  });

  // Use the fake band client manager
  IBandClientManager clientManager = FakeBandClientManager.Instance;

  // Microsoft Band SDK code
  var bands = await clientManager.GetBandsAsync();
  var bandInfo = bands.First();

  var bandClient = await FakeBandClientManager.Instance.ConnectAsync(bandInfo);
  var meTile = await bandClient.PersonalizationManager.GetMeTileImageAsync();

  var wb = meTile.ToWriteableBitmap();
  MeTileImage.Source = wb;

Where MeTileImage is a XAML image control

Or this example to subscribe for sensor data:

var uc = bandClient.SensorManager.Accelerometer.GetCurrentUserConsent();
bool isConsented = false;

if (uc == UserConsent.NotSpecified)
{
    isConsented = await bandClient.SensorManager.Accelerometer.RequestUserConsentAsync();
}

if (isConsented || uc == UserConsent.Granted)
{
    bandClient.SensorManager.Accelerometer.ReadingChanged += async (obj, ev) =>
    {
        await Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
        {
            // Update User Interface...
        });
    };

    await bandClient.SensorManager.Accelerometer.StartReadingsAsync();
}

fake-band's Issues

TypeLoadException in FakeBandClientManager with latest Band Nuget Package 1.3.20217

When using the latest Microsof.Band Nuget Package 1.3.20217
there is a TypeLoadException when using FakeBandClientManager:

An exception of type 'System.TypeLoadException' occurred in BandApp1.exe but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Method 'GetBandsAsync' in type 'FakeBand.Fakes.FakeBandClientManager' from assembly 'FakeBand, Version=0.0.8.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' does not have an implementation.

This problem does not occur with earlier versions (<= 1.3.20115) of the Microsoft.Band Nuget Package.

Adding the following Code to the App Constructor triggers the TypeLOadException on Debugging Startup (x86 - Local Machine)

FakeBand.Fakes.FakeBandClientManager.Configure(
                new FakeBand.Fakes.FakeBandClientManagerOptions() {
                    Bands = new List<IBandInfo>() {
                        new FakeBand.Fakes.FakeBandInfo(BandConnectionType.Bluetooth, "Fake Band 1", FakeBand.Fakes.BandVersion.BandTwo)
                    }
                });

Add code samples

Implement TileManager API

Allow sensor data to be read from disk

Base sensor data on data specified in disk files or from memory to make the results more testable

Make fake-band compatible with Xamarin's Microsoft.Band.Portable

What need to be changed to make the existing Fake-band compatible with this?
https://github.com/mattleibow/Microsoft-Band-SDK-Bindings/tree/master/Microsoft.Band.Portable

Add wallpaper image for Band 2 - different size

Upgrade to Microsoft.Band 1.3.20628

Please upgrade to the latest Band SDK.

Implement NotificationManager API

Make dummy sensor values more realistic

Base the distribution of each sensor value reflect real-life data from the band

FakeBand is not compatible with Xamarin.Android (Mono)

FakeBand or one of its direct dependencies have strong dependency on Google.Protobuf that makes it incompatible with Xamarin.Android.
If its aligned with the goals of this project this issue/task is to ensure that Fake.Band works with Xamarin.Android out of the box

Persist values stored on the band

Persist some values which should continue beyond a session until Factory reset

• theme
• total distances
• etc.
