I have a Windows Phone Silverlight app that calls the CameraCaptureTask to acquire a camera picture. This works fine, except on WP10 devices which have software back, Windows and search buttons, because this navigation bar hides the "accept" and "retake" buttons in the camera capture. To illustrate the problem, I took some emulator screenshots. This is what a normal accept screen looks like on a device with hardware buttons:

camera accept without overlapping buttons

Here's how it looks with the overlapping software buttons:

In this second screenshot, you can just about see the top of the "retake" button, the rest is hidden behind the software buttons.

Is this a familiar problem for anyone, and is there a solution / workaround? I appear to have no control over the layout of the default capture task, but rolling my own just for this silly problem seems like such overkill..

  • Thanks guys, but those posts all apply to WinRT, not Silverlight. Also, they assume I actually have control over the view in question - I don't, this is the built-in camera task. – Elte Hupkes Nov 24 '16 at 09:42
