How to change the current / existing Launcher Application in Tizen Emulator or Device.

Hi! All.,

Am working on Tizen Native application development. At present running apps on emulator( Using Tizen 2.2 SDK ) till we bring up our device.

I am developing an launcher application which contains bunch of my own applications (different icons are displayed inside my app).

Now , I want to override the existing launcher app with my application. I want to display/launch my app while device(emulator) boots up.

Experts, Please help me to achieve this functionality.

Thanks in advance !.

Ganesh Kumar R.

If you want to develop your own home launcher app,then to be registered as home screen app, category of the application should be specified as 'http://tizen.org/category/homeapp' in manifest file. (in advanced > category feature) Then name of the application will be shown on Settings > Home screen. From here you can launch ur own applications.

Please join tizen.org and than you can access source code for the reference Home screen on following page. https://review.tizen.org Web applications are not possible to make a home launcher app

Hi Ganesh Kumar, I am able to set my application as Default Home Screen using Settings -> Home Screen - > Home Screen Type. Is there any way we can set the Default Home Screen from Coding ?? I mean instead of going to Settings Screen , I want to achieve it using Coding.

Hi Uday Bhaskar,

I guess I need to run the above code in Command line. But I want to do it from the application scope. Lets say, when I launch the application first time, then I need to set my application as Default HomeScreen
