Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. You can download this sample as a standalone ZIP file from docs.microsoft.com, or you can download the entire collection as a single ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.
This sample allows the user to view the proximity detection reading as a boolean value. It includes the following scenarios:
- Proximity sensor data events
- Polling proximity sensor readings
- Proximity Monitoring to Turn the Display On or Off
- Background Proximity Sensor
Proximity Sensor Data Events
When you choose the Enable button for the Data Events option, the app will begin displaying proximity sensor detection readings in real time.
Polling Proximity Sensor Readings
When you choose the Get Data button for the Polling option, the app will retrieve the current sensor readings.
Proximity Monitoring to Turn the Display On or Off
When you choose the Enable button for the Display On/Off option, the app will request the system to monitor the proximity sensor detection state to automatically turn the display on or off.
Background Proximity Sensor
This demonstrates using a Proximity sensor's state as a background trigger. When you click the 'Register Task' button, an available proximity sensor will be used to register for notifications in the change of proximity. When a change in the proximity is detected by the sensor, the registered background task gets fired. Proximity Sensor readings are then retrieved from the trigger to update the scenario UI.

- If you download the samples ZIP, be sure to unzip the entire archive, not just the folder with the sample you want to build.
- Start Microsoft Visual Studio and select File > Open > Project/Solution.
- Starting in the folder where you unzipped the samples, go to the Samples subfolder, then the subfolder for this specific sample, then the subfolder for your preferred language (C++, C#, or JavaScript). Double-click the Visual Studio Solution (.sln) file.
- Press Ctrl+Shift+B, or select Build > Build Solution.
The next steps depend on whether you just want to deploy the sample or you want to both deploy and run it.
- Select Build > Deploy Solution.
- To debug the sample and then run it, press F5 or select Debug > Start Debugging. To run the sample without debugging, press Ctrl+F5 or selectDebug > Start Without Debugging.
