Samsung BADA, Starting with sample application

Hurrayh!! You downloaded all the required stuffs right? ( Didnt get my point :( ? Please refer to the earlier post ;). 
Hope you already installed the IDE with language packs. If so just run the IDE. Specify your BADA workspace where all your projects are supposed be resided. And continue...

So! Now we are totally ready to go for the sample applications right? Its really easy and fun at the same time. Hope the BADA IDE is running behind your web browser. Now all you need to do is follow the steps given here to run some sample applications. Playing with these applications will make you familiar with this IDE, as well as give you a brief idea over the BADA SDK. Anyway, lets stop my tattling and start working.

1. Open the window of BADA SDK samples window. Go to “Window > Show view > Other”. This will show you a dialog like following.


Select Bada SDK samples from this dialog. Click OK. The window of sample application list is opened.

2. Right click on any application ( Say Basic app ). Select “Copy into my workspace...”. This will copy the whole project into your workspace. You can find these sample applications in  [BADA_IDE_ROOT]\1.0.0b3\Samples directory. In my case this is C:\bada\1.0.0b3\Samples.

3. You need to build the application first. Then it will be able to run. BUT before that you need to configure the build settings. There are three build configurations...
  • Simulator build ( A build to run in the simulator )
  • Target build ( A build to run in the physical device )
  • Target release.
Running in Simulator
To run in simulator select the first one ( Simulator build ).

4. Right click. Build the project
5. Again, Right click. “Run As > bada Simulator Application”.

The Basic app should successfully run in simulator.

Running in Target
To run in your target device, select second one ( Target build )

4. Build the project.
5. “Run As > bada Target Application”. ( Make sure your target device is connected with the PC through USB )

The basic app should run in the target device now.

Note:
Running or debugging in target device requires some driver ([BADA_IDE_ROOT]\1.0.0b3\Tools\S8500-Driver-V5_02_0_0.zip ) setup and some other things to be done. Please refer to the pdf if you face any problem.

Hope by now the Basic app is running in your Samsung BADA phone.

Next post will be on the basic architecture of a Bada application. So stay tuned :)

    Thanks for an anonymous comment ;)
    Also its great to hear about your passion after bada app development.

    Yes working with database is a major section for bada app development. I will be writing some posts on explaining different kind of databases on bada.

    But, for the time being, you can look into a sample application named "Dictionary" demonstrating all type of db connections and CRUD operations. If it seems tough to understand please allow me few days to come up with my explanations.


    Thank you :D

Ajax form submission with tiny MCE editor

Hi, I was working with a Ajax form submission where the form contains a tinyMCE wrapped textarea. I was using prototype library for Ajax. Problem is when I called Form.serialize('form_id') , it couldn't retrieve the value of the textarea as it is wrapped by tinyMCE. At last I got a solution by just calling a tinyMCE method before the Ajax operation. Here is the stepwise detail: 1. My tiny MCE declaration was very simple like: <script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript"> tinyMCE.init({ theme:"simple", mode:"exact", elements:"desc" }); </script> 2. Following is my HTML form: <form onsubmit="return processForm()" name="submitForm" id="submitForm" method="post" action="request.php"> <label for="name">Name: </label><br /> <input type="text" name="name" i...

Bada tutorial: Application basics

Image
Now as we know how to create a project and already met the containers , we can start writing our application right away. And for this we will need to have a little concept about some basics of starting up an application. So today's post is on some elementary stuffs. May seem little bit boring but yet required!!  I will not repeat the words already said in bada API doc. I put the links of API doc with each description. Please read the doc and find some additional concerns in this post. First lets look at the following state diagram of an application.  Fig: Application life cycle. Collected from bada API doc. You probably already have seen this earlier. To start with an application we need to know exactly how to handle all the methods indicated in the diagram. Lets start with the first one... OnAppInitializing: At the time of launching your application the system will call OnAppInitializing method to initialize it. Take a look at the bada API doc for this...
