Access Vibration Function in Windows 8 WinRT?

Question

Is there a WinRT API in Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8 to use the vibration function?

Answer 1

Try the following: (only works on Windows Phone!)

var vibrationTime = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(100); Windows.Phone.Devices.Notification.VibrationDevice.GetDefault().Vibrate(vibrationTime); 

Answer 2

The leaked documents mention the Microsoft.Devices.VibrateController class, available in both WP7 and WP8. I don’t think there is anything like that in WinRT. I think tablets usually don't have a vibrator? This seems to be more like a phone feature that you can store in your pocket.

Answer 3

We have one for Windows Phone 8 and 7, but we do not have a WinRT tablet

Answer 4

You can use the VibrateController or VibrationDevice class to achieve the vibration effect in Windows Phone applications.
