Creating Your Application

4. In the Select a Application Template page, select the application template and click Finish.

   

   The created application template is shown in the Project Explorer view within the project.

   

   You can code the required application features within the added template. Open the project sources in the Code Editor.

   

Tizen Studio for RT provides various features to ease code writing and improves your coding productivity when developing your applications:

• The API assist helps you to write code quickly by completing the names of the APIs automatically when writing a part of the API name.
• The API hover displays information about API functions, API-related types, and macros for the native framework.
• The API link helps you to check the original content of a linked API quickly.
• The Outline view allows you to see the structure of the code currently open in the Code Editor.

Using API Assist

When you write code, the API assist feature provides API suggestions to complete the code faster.

To receive the API suggestions manually, type at least one letter of content, and press Ctrl + Space. The suggestion list appears. Use the arrow keys to select a suggestion from the list, and press Enter to complete the code.

If you already use the Ctrl + Space shortcut key in the Ubuntu system for other purposes, such as the keyboard input source change, you must change to another shortcut, or you can change the API assist key in the Tizen Studio menu: Window > Preference > General > Keys > Content Assist.

Using API Hover

When you hover over an API function in the Code Editor, a popup window appears below the function. In that window, you get detailed information about the API function, such as a brief description, defined parameters, return value type, and exception information.

Using API Link

When you hover over an API function in the Code Editor, you can move to the original content of the hovered API by pressing the F3 key or Ctrl + Mouse click.

Using Outline View

The Outline view displays the structure of the code that is currently opened in the Code Editor.

Building the Project

You must build your project before flashing or debugging it.

To build the Tizen RT project:

1. Select the project in the Project Explorer view.

2. To build the selected project, use one of the following:

   • In the Tizen Studio for RT menu, select Project > Batch Build Project.
   • In the Tizen Studio for RT toolbar, click the Build TizenRT Project icon ().

   

3. In the Build TizenRT Project Wizard, select the board and build option for building your project, and click Build.

   

   You can view the build progress dialog box.

   

   You can check the build logs in the Console view.

   

Selecting Applications for Running

If you want to configure only certain applications to run on the board, set those applications as the entry point with the Application Manager:

1. Click the arrow next to the Build TizenRT Project icon () and select Application Manager in the drop-down menu.

   

2. In the Application Manager dialog box, select the check box for the application you want within a list of applications, and click Set Entry.

   

   The entry point name next to the Set Entry button changes.

3. Click OK.
