Introduction: Developing for Tizen OS

"Tizen OS is a new open source operating system for devices including smartphones, tablets, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) devices, and smart TVs"

Hello!! I am back with the new article on the brand new Operating System Tizen for mobile devices and smartphones, Just before some days samsung has reported that they will be announcing Tizen based phones on this Valentines Day. Everyone is excited about the Tizen, while some developers are ready with their apps.

Now, I will guide you step by step in making Hello Tizen app.

A. Setting Up Development Environment:
1. Download SDK with emulator and IDE from Tizen website and Install on machine.

B. Developing Your First "Hello Tizen" App.
1. Launch the Tizen IDE.
2. Create a new project by selecting File > Tizen Web Project > Template > Tizen > Basic > Blank Application.
While creating the project, you can select templates or samples supported by the Tizen IDE. In this example, the Tizen basic template is selected.
3. Enter the project name as "Hello Tizen" and click Finish.

4. The Project Consists of various generated file such as CSS folder, Js folder, config.xml, icon.png and index.html files as you can see in Project Explorer. The Index.html will be the main html page of your app.

5. Now you will get the HTML coded sample in index.html, clear all data and just keep Header as Hello Tizen and subtitle "An tutorial of Hello Tizen". We will also add image in html.
6. Building & Packaging App: In the Project Explorer, just select project and Press Ctrl + b or right-click the project and select Build Project.

7. Running App:
To Run app in a Web Application Simulator: In the project explorer, right click on project name and select Run as> Web Simulator application.
To Run app as Web Application in a Tizen emulator: 
1.In the Tizen IDE menu, select Window > Show View > Connection Explorer > Emulator Manager.

2.Create and launch an Emulator. An Emulator is created as a virtual machine.
4.In the Project Explorer view, right-click the project and select Run > Run As > Tizen Web Application.
