Canvas incompatible with Tizen 2.3.2 Wearable WebWidget?

Canvas incompatible with Tizen 2.3.2 Wearable WebWidget?

BY 30 Jan 2017 Web Application Development

I am trying to use the canvas element in a web widget on the Gear S2/S3, with Tizen 2.3.2.

As part of the main web app, there is no problem with a canvas, but in the web widget, I see the dreaded “It appears your browser cannot render HTML5 canvas” message.

 

To duplicate:

  • Create a new project in Tizen Studio: File -> New-> Tizen Project -> Template -> Wearable 2.3.2 -> Web Application -> Widget
  • Change only the file index.html under the ./widget/Widget directory, to include a canvas in the body:

<body>
  <div id=”page”>
      <canvas id=”canvas” width=”360px” height=”360px”>
        It appears your browser cannot render HTML5 canvas.
      </canvas>
    <div id=”container”>
      <p id=”content-text”>Hello Widget</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</body>

 

The widget comes out all white, with the “cannot render” message centred on the first line, barely visible.

Am I doing something wrong, or is canvas incompatible with Tizen 2.3.2 Wearable WebWidget?
