Tizen SDK for Wearable released
Hello, Habr!
Earlier, we already managed to talk about the new wearable devices Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo and their functions . But today we are pleased to announce the release of an instrument for developing applications for smart watches! Introducing the Tizen SDK for Wearable, now available for download . This is only the first beta, but it has everything you need: both the familiar Eclipse IDE and the QEMU emulator.
The SDK is very similar to the Tizen SDK with all the features, and the interaction is through the Samsung Accessory Protocol . Through SAP, you can manage music, transfer notifications and files, search for your phone and much more.
Consider the components of the SDK and what the Tizen SDK for Wearable can do.
Offers an almost complete Web API optimized for wearable devices. It includes WebKit and runtime for web applications. Most interesting features supported (full list available here ):
1. Support for W3C / HTML5 specifications:
2. Changes to W3C APIs:
3. Support for Khronos specifications: WebGL, Typed Arrays
4. Device APIs - to access the platform support for device capabilities:
5. Support Camera API - preview, change settings, capture photos and videos
6. Web UI framework - a set of javascript, css, html to create a native UI adapted for wearable devices
7. Support Clock widget - own clock widgets on the desktop
1. Operating system support: Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 (32- or 64-bit), Microsoft Windows XP (32-bit) Service Pack 2 or later, Microsoft Windows 7 (32- or 64-bit), Apple Mac OS X 10.7 Lion (64-bit), Apple Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (64-bit), Apple Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks (64-bit)
2. IDE Eclipse
3. SDB (Smart Development Bridge): installation, removal, access shell
4. Emulator:
5.CLI tools: assembly, installation, removal, signature
Warning, announcement! This Friday, March 21-22, the Hackathon will be held as part of MobileFest 2014 . At the hackathon there will be a nomination from Samsung: you can start developing the application for Gear 2 and get a valuable prize! Also on Friday at 2:30 p.m. at the Boomerang Hotel there will be a panel discussion “What large corporations prepare in secret laboratories: strategic guidelines for ecosystem companies” with the director of Samsung Media Solution Center. Come!
