Vibration API in Tizen Web app
PUBLISHED
Introduction
To provide tactile feedback to user or to interact with user even when the device volume is low, vibration can provide a better user experience and improve the perception of application. When it comes to Tizen app development, external third party library is not required to implement vibration as this is included in Tizen API.
In this document, a simple web app is developed to show the use of vibration in different patterns and types in Tizen Web app.

Topic extraction from Message Text using external scripts/library
PUBLISHED
Introduction
Topic modeling means detecting “abstract” topics from a collection of texts. There are various techniques like: statistical technique, LDA, Hierarchical Dirichlet process etc. Amongst all of the techniques, Latent Dirichlet Allocation(LDA) has got more success based on accuracy and usability.
This statistics based text processing algorithm takes text as input and produces a list of topics based on inner implementation of LDA variant. Number of topics to be detected should be pre-defined before applying LDA method.
Tizen Web: Broadcasting and Listening for Custom Events
PUBLISHED
Introduction
Tizen Web applications have the ability to broadcast a custom event to all applications (the ones listening for that particular event). Thus, a developer is facilitated with triggering custom events depending upon need.
For security purpose, Tizen web application also offers broadcasting trusted events to only trusted listeners having the same certificate as sender application. Applications not having the same certificate won’t be able to listen to broadcasted event if trusted protocol is used.
Using Web SQL Database in Tizen Web App
