Tizen Wearable Web Development - Environment

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering what environment you use to build your tizen web apps. Personally I find the Tizen SDK pretty inconvenient. It's missing a lot of things for developing web related things. For example editing stylesheets isn't very comfortable. Do you use something different and just test the device-related functions in the emulator and develope the UI in a browser or maybe have an addon for eclipse?

What do you guys use?

Dear Björn Kapteina,

Thanks for your opinion.

You wrote the "It's missing a lot of things for developing web related things. For example editing stylesheets isn't very comfortable."

Could you explain it in detail? If you give us more information, it will be helpful to us.

By the way, if you use the simulator, I think you can test your stylesheets easily.

That's because we can use the console mode in the chrome browser.

Thanks.

Hello Seoghyun Kang,

do you have anything to do with Samsung or any sub-company? You're questions sounds like you are gathering customer feedback. Anyhow:

I'm talking about several different things. One request would be to rapidly change code and debug it. When developing web applications with aptana and google chrome you could turn on instant refresh and see the impact of changes like javascript or html and css on the fly. For the tizen you always need to compile and debug.

Another thing would be the support for html,css and javascriptcode completion and coding tools. For instance there is no smart edition for css. Aptana for example gives you color-picker when editing css-colors.

I've tried to install aptana plugin for eclipse but I couldn't manage to get it work with the tizen web project. I haven't tried very hard so far and will check it out later. But there is no out-of-the-box environment. Eclipse offers some help, but I think it is by far not enough.

Greetings

Björn
