Web application API

Account API

• The Account API provides functionality for using existing configured online accounts and providers, and for creating accounts of known types.

• The basic concepts are:– Provider is an online service provider entity, such as Google, Vodafone or

Facebook. A service provider is identified by its applicationId. Accountprovider will be registered while the application is installed. The information will be used in the "Add account" screen in Settings.

– Account collects all the data (user name, credential, settings) needed for connecting to services. An account is always bound to a single provider, and has a list of service instances bound to the account. The services can be individually enabled and disabled on the given account. For instance, [email protected] can identify a Google account, giving access to services such as gmail, gtalk, Picasa, and Youtube with each service having a separate service instance bound to the account.


8


Web application API

Archive API

• The Archive API provides functions to create and

manage archive files (for example ZIP archives).

• You can extract files, add a file to an archive file, and so on.


9


Web application API

Badge API

• The Badge API provides Badge management functionality. It provides

functions for creating and updating a badge. The application with new

unread information has a number in the upper right hand corner of

the app icon.

• This number is called a badge. For example, when a new message is

received the badge count appears on the app icon.

The badge remains until the message is read by the user.


10


Web application API

Exif API

• The Exif API provides interfaces and methods for manipulating Exif data from a JPEG file.

• The ExifManager object provides methods to retrieve theExifInformation object from a JPEG file and save the Exif data from the ExifInformation object in the JPEG file.

• The ExifInformation object provides functionality to get and set the Exif attributes corresponding to the Exif tag. Changing the value of the attribute in the ExifInformation object stores the Exifdata in the ExifInformation object. It does not change data in the JPEG file.

• For applying the modified Exif data to the JPEG file, the saveExifInfo()method of the ExifManager object should be called with the ExifInformation object that has the modified Exif data.


11


Web application API

• The FMRadio API provides interfaces and methods for

accessing FM Radio.

• Functionalities:

– Start and stop radio

– Seek radio frequency

FMRadio API


12


Web application API

Sound API

• The Sound API provides functions to control volume level for

several sound types.

• You can get the maximum volume level for system, notifications,

alarm, media and so on. Also, you can change or get the current

volume level.


13


Web application API

HumanActivityMonitor API

• The HumanActivityMonitor API defines interfaces and methods to

manage human activity data from various sensors on the device.

• The following human activity monitor functionality is provided:

– Set up callbacks for data change notification

– Get current human activity monitor data

• The human activity monitor data that can be monitored:

– PEDOMETER

– WRIST_UP - Wrist up gesture

– HRM - Heart rate monitor

– GPS


14


Web application API

Sensor API

• The Sensor API defines interfaces and methods to

manage sensor data from various sensors on the device.

• The following sensor functionality is provided:

– Start and stop sensor

– Set and unset notification of the sensor data change

– Get current sensor data

• You can use the following sensors:

– LIGHT, MAGNETIC, PRESSURE, PROXIMITY, ULTRAVIOLET


15


Web application API

• The SystemInfo API defines interfaces and methods that provide web applications with access to various properties of a system. This API also provides interfaces and methods that can retrieve statuses of hardware devices, get the value of selected properties, and subscribe to asynchronous notifications of changes for selected values.

• You can use this API to get access to:– BATTERY

– CPU

– STORAGE

– DISPLAY

– DEVICE_ORIENTATION

– BUILD

– LOCALE

– NETWORK

– WIFI_NETWORK

– CELLULAR_NETWORK

– SIM

– PERIPHERAL

SystemInfo API


16


Web application API

Calendar API

• The Calendar API provides interfaces and methods for users to

manage their schedule. Separate calendars can be implemented for

group related events or tasks. For example, a user may have a work,

personal, and family calendar.

• A calendar entry is called an event and is composed of a series of

attributes, such as purpose, starting time, and duration. A calendar is

a collection of events.


17


Web application API

Contact API

• The Contact API provides functionality for managing address books.

• A address books is a set of information that describes a contact.

• Contact contains information about:

– Name

– Address

– Phone numbers

– Emails

– Dates (e.g. Birthday, anniversaries)


18


Web application API

Content API

• The Content API provides functionality to discover content such as

images, video, music and other files.

• API can receive notifications when content items are added, updated

or removed.

• The Content API also provides functionality for playlists.


19



Application states


20



Application lifecycle

• Application framework starts

an application by creating a new

proccess and calls the entry

point of the application

• In the Tizen application, the

main task is to hand over control

to the Application framework by

calling ui_app_main() function


21



Application Framework

• Application – manages the application’s main loop, state change

events, basic system events and gets information about application.

It’s also used to launch application

• Service Application – handles Tizen service application (non UI-

application) state changes, etc.

• Application Manager – gets information such as application ID and

path to shared data directory of the current application and other

installed or running applications

• Badge – creates and removes badges of the application’s home

screen icon


22



Application Framework continued

• Bundle – string-based dictionary

• Data Control – exchanges data between applications

• Message port – sends and receives small messages between

applications. Each message is a bundle.

• Notification – creates, inserts, and updates notifications

• Package manager – stores and receives information related to

packages installed on the device

• Shortcut – adds application shortcuts to the device home screen


23



EFL

• Elementary – High level API + widgets + wrapping

• Evas – core scene graph + rendering

• Ecore – Mainloop + events + messaging + animation/timing

• Eina – Data structures + Low level

• Edje – Canvas object "meta” files from on-disk themes


24



EFL Design model

• EFL is Mainloop-centric

• Mainloop Application state & UI in ONE THREAD

• Child threads work async & message mainloop

• Thread worker pool APIs
