Bada type Widgets

Hey guys! I have one doubt, is it possible to make widgets in html like the ones in bada? For the homescreen I mean...

If so, could you help me on setting it up? I cannot find any information anywhere.

Thank you!

In tizen Home screen is nothing but the menu screen , so there is no way you can have another widget there

So it isnt possible to have widgets like in android or in bada?
From release notes for Tizen SDK 2.1: https://developer.tizen.org/downloads/sdk/2.1-release-notes "... Native Framework New Features ... * Dynamic Box Supports showing the widget and its Drop View on the Home screen * Shortcut manager Supports adding application shortcuts on the Home screen ..." ???
Vineet Tiwari
Yes because there is no scope for creating and adding there

I think that android or bada widget that you said is similar to web dynamic box in Tizen. web dynamic box was announced on Tizen 2.1. web dynamic box is only made by web technologies like HTML, Javascript, CSS. To create your web dynamic box, fist you have to dynamic box viewer like android home screen displaying widgets Unfortunatly Tizen 2.1 SDK image dosen't provide default viewer. But Tizen 2.1 provides dynamic viewer sample as native application. To test web dynamic box on Tizen 2.1 SDK, you should do the following steps. 1. install dynamic viewer sample, tizen native application (if you try to create Tizen Native Project, you can see sample application list. And then you can find dynamic viewer application on that list.) 2. install web dynamic sample (https://developer.tizen.org/help/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.tizen.web.appprogramming%2Fhtml%2Fguide%2Fdynamicbox_guide%2Fdynamicbox.htm) dynamic viewer is similar to android home screen including widgets. So when I consider android phone, I think that viewer like homescreen is very important. You may not like dynamic viewer provided as sample. If so, you can make your dynamic viewer as refering to the following page. https://developer.tizen.org/help/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.tizen.web.appprogramming%2Fhtml%2Fguide%2Fdynamicbox_guide%2Fdynamicbox.htm

Hey! Thanks for your help, so I tried it but I dont understand what you mean in step number 2? Could you please help me? Thank you a lot
Yunchan Cho
Oh, it seems that my comments are a little short regarding step 2. 2. install web dynamic sample I means that you install web dynamic box sample in Tizen web project on SDK. And then please execute dynamic box viewer that you installed at the previous step. Next, you can see 1 item listed up on the viewer. Select the item. Finally you will be able to see web dynamic box! Best Regards,
Daniel Anton
Do I have to do something to connect tem? So the item appears in the viewer? Im sorry but my emulator isnt working right now so i cannot test it.
Yunchan Cho
No, you don't need to connect something to display your dynamic box. The viewer app reads installed dynamic boxes, and then display them on the list.
Daniel Anton
Thanks! So when uploading them to the tizen store do I have to upload both the native app and the web app¿

Contrast to Android SDK emulator, Tizen 2.1 emulator doesn't have installed dynamic box viewer like widget screen. (Surely, there is a sample dynamic box viewer installable by user, but it has been not installed as default on emulator) Your dynamic box can be created and used only when tizen device of users has already installed dynamic box viewer. I think that most of commericalized tizen devices will have own dynamic box viewer as default like widget screen. In that case, when your web application including web dynamic box is installed on such devices from tizen store, your dynamic box can be used on that devices. You don't need to provider dynamic box viewer as native application. (But if you don't like dynamic box viewers made by tizen manufactures, you can surely provide own viewer, using tizen native class.)

So I just got my reference device and when I open them, they just open as a normal Web app... Any help?
