Windows App Store - use of "results" view for my own search - search

I have implemented a search mechanism in my app. The user fill a textbox and then click on a button. is there a way to use the nice results view of Microsoft? i'm talking about the view you can see in the image attached.

I am giving you few resources, please check it out and let us know if you face any problem.

Windows 8 and the future of XAML: Part 4: Contracts in WinRT/Windows 8
Search contract sample from MSDN

That's just a page and layout that someone created for that given app... given the Contoso branding it's some sample, though I don't immediately recognize it. I assume you saw the image, but don't have the source to it?
In Visual Studio, within an existing app you can use the Add>New Item dialog and select Search Contract to include a template page (with grid, filter combo box, etc.) to get you jumpstarted.
In the Windows 8 Camp Training kit, there is a fairly polished sample - Contoso Cookbook - that also includes a filtered search page, so that may be helpful as a start too.

How to create links to MS Teams tabs which can be used from within MSTeams on a page

In a MSTeams channel I have a tab which has a sharepoint page added to it. If it is important the sharepoint page resides within the same sharepoint site set up automatically by MS Teams for this team.
I want to use a sharepoint Quick Links web part to provide a link to another MSTeams channel tab.
Currently I am copying the link to the tab within the MSTeam desktop app. In the sharepoint Quick Link I am then pasting the link in the "From Another Link" choice of the Quick Link link.
This works if you click on these links within the Desktop App and if you use the Web Online version, however it does not work if you use the iOS MS Teams app.
Is there another way to link to channel tabs? There is this question and answer but this only applies to the web online application.
I see on the MS UserVoice that there is still no way to change the landing page when clicking on a channel. Am I correct? Here is the link to the UserVoice
I've been researching into this a bit but I can't find a good answer - I feel like Deeplinking should support this somehow, but I haven't got a clear answer. It's possible (but I've not tested it), that you can use standard Deep Link syntax, but use the App Id and Entity Id that you'd get from the Graph Api (e.g. here).
Another possibility is just to use an app that's more geared towards this, like Quicklinks (disclosure: I work on this app).

Configure printer for Acumatica

Using this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2Y_GC4Zm54 we are trying to print out the shipments as indicated in the video. This would be a great approximation as it would take us closer to printing documents from a new page we created called "Work Orders" which is the fnal requirement.
I have 2 questions:
In the video there is a customization package called "Devicehubinstalled" that adds the Print Queues and Scale pages. Is this customization available for the community? if so, where could I find it?
In this Help article from Acumatica (https://help.acumatica.com/Main?ScreenId=ShowWiki&pageid=de3b7e31-58f7-4e36-a6ec-d40ac9755037) is described how to configure a USB printer in ther server or workstation. I am currently trying it locally and the request is being sent to the printer and it's being placed in queue but without any results. Has anyone face a similar scenario?
Thanks.
1) There is a section to enable scale integration on the partner portal: https://portal.acumatica.com/downloads/advanced-fulfillment-download/
You have to scroll down to the Configuration area. On this page, you can find customizations for different versions of Acumatica. Starting from 2018R1 the DeviceHub for Printers is included in the core product as a feature and there is a separate customization to activate scales and packaging there.
2) The issue can be that the labels printer is not shared. Please check this and change the shared name on the batch file, if needed. You can also have a look at the article about labels printing configuration here: https://www.acumatica.com/blog/technical-tuesday-printing-shipping-labels-using-acumatica/

Why won't the Note Board SharePoint 2013 web part work?

I am trying to create a dashboard via SharePoint and I would like to create a section beneath a displayed document where users can type and submit a description of what is going on in the document above. I don't want the users to be able to edit the site page in order to add text to the page so I believe the best solution would be the creation of a web part where a user can create and submit their desired description. The only web parts that I've come across to do something like this are the Note Board web part and the Microfeed web part. The Microfeed part seems too much like a social media page. My problem is I would like to try the Note Board web part but whenever I insert it on the page it never displays an area to type in, just the title "Note Board".
So it seems that this problem came up because of the way my account is related to this particular SharePoint site that I am editing. My account doesn't have a profile attached to it essentially and the way that these notes are shared and stored directly relates to having one of these profiles. The Note Board Web Part turned out to be working perfectly fine my account is just not capable of posting within it. (I figured I'd answer incase anyone else comes up with this problem.)

Android Studio: Have app access the users app drawer

I am trying to make an app that can enable/disable the auto rotate feature on certain apps.
I have no idea if it's even possible to tell my app to access the users "App Drawer" to select certain apps. It's hard to explain but the best example that i can think of makes sense if you have used Tasker. In Tasker, when you start a new profile it brings up "Application" "Day" "Event" etc. and when you select "Application" a big grid menu pops up with all of the Apps that are in the users phone and it's titled "App Selection" I want to use something exactly like this but have no idea about how to go about it. Any advice would be appreciated or a link to any video that might help. Thank you very much for reading this!
I can answer part of your question.
1. To get the list of installed application you can use PackageManager
2. You can then create a view in which you put them in a gridview of some sort. (Using Packagemanager you can get its icon, package name etc)

Load a web part before other

I am stuck with a problem. I am having tool part where I get all the Lists present in the Site.
I have other web part which should get the selected List in the tool part.
I see that the web part is loaded first then the tool part. so the web part is unable to the List selected in the tool part.
Please note that the text box is in a User Control.
Please help me.
I have looked at your code and found the following:
First things first. You need to move AWAY from using ToolParts and the SharePoint native webpart. they are deprecated and are a remnant from SPS2003. In MOSS / WSS 3.0 you can and should use the ASP.NET WebPart.
Secondly, I think you are mixing things up. The ToolPartGetLists is not a toolpart, it is a webpart, that in itself loads the CustomToolPart, which in turn allows you to select a list.
This toolpart is only shown when you edit the shared webpart in the UI. The list you select is then persisted to the SelectedList property of the webpart using the toolpart.
The connected webpart then tries to read the SelectedList property I guess.
Like I said, I could go and try to fix the code for you, but it is not the way to go, you really (REALLY) need to switch to ASP.NET WebPart based webparts. The native sharepoint one WILL be fased out in the (near) future.
Here you can find an example, with code! (scroll to bottom for download link). As a bonus, it uses the built in sharepoint listpicker
I don't know of any way you could control the load order of elements (web parts) on the same page.
Sounds more like you want to have your second web part (the display of the lists) have a "default" when the page loads--which could be empty. Then it would be changed to the selected list only when the user clicked a new selection in the other web part (the list of lists).
