Encoding Scheme

All files (i.e., .html, .css, and .js) are to be encoded in UTF-8. This is needed for supporting multilanguages. Widgets may not be displayed correctly especially when widgets contain non-ASCII characters when encodings other than UTF-8 are used.

config.xml

config.xml is used to define all necessary properties required by a Web widget. It is mandatory to have a config.xml for each Web widget. This section describes the complete list of supported elements with their usages when defining properties.

TIMEOUT The length of time specified by the timeout property has elapsed before successfully acquiring a new Position object. 3

Web Device API

The following describes Web device APIs supported by Widget Engine. Supported interfaces and methods are generally the same as the interfaces and methods supported by Tizen API, respectively. If there are exceptions, they are explicitly mentioned below.

API Description
Application This API allows a widget to launch and access installed applications. Note that launching other Web widgets installed on the same device is deprecated from Tizen 3.0, so such use is not recommended.
Unsupported methods:
- ApplicationManager: Application getCurrentApplication()
- Application: void exit()
- Application: void hide()
- Application: RequestedApplicationControl getRequestedAppControl()
Preference This API allows to store and retrieve a (key, value) pair to set application preferences.
Sensor This API provides interfaces and methods for getting sensor data from the various device sensors.
System Information This API provides information about the device's display, network, storage and other capabilities.
Unsupported feature: Getting 'LOCALE' value using addPropertyValueChangeListener() is not supported. Because when 'LOCALE' is changed, web widget will be restarted so it is not possible to get 'LOCALE' at runtime.
SAP * The Samsung Accessory Protocol (SAP) APIs offers services that enable mobile devices to establish connections and exchange data with web widget applications.
Widgetservice This API provides information about installed widgets.
Unsupported methods:
- WidgetInstance: void changeUpdatePeriod()
- WidgetInstance: void sendContent()
- WidgetInstance: void getContent()
Important Notice
- The WidgetInstanceId in interface WidgetInstance is not persistent, i.e., each widget instance is assigned a new WidgetInstance.id at every reboot of a wearable device. Therefore, it cannot be used to identify a widget instance existed before rebooting a device.
* The SAP (Samsung Accessory Protocol) is a Samsung device API.
