Silverlight 4 did not have P/Invoke support for calling native functions; Silverlight 5 does (see Pete Brown's blog for more details http://10rem.net/blog/2011/09/01/silverlight-5-rc-now-available). Our objectives for this HowTo article is no different from my previous article with almost exactly the same Title. That article dealt with COM support. It is important to go through that article first - most of the steps covered there won't be covered here (CustomMediaStreamSource.aspx).

According to Google, “A sixth grade student can also build Android apps using the AppInventor.”
The applications developed from app inventor can be tested on an emulator or a phone. If all goes well, we can package the app to the phone and use it.
