Key to the Missing

Here are a set of few questions and solutions related to Tizen app development. If you have more questions feel free to post here and we will try to get answers for your queries.

1. My Tizen application consists of a widget, UI application, and a service application. Can I package these in a single package?
   Answer: Yes, you can package these in a single package. Tizen supports multi-project applications that combine different types of application templates. You can develop a UI project with service or widget projects as a package. For more information, see Developing Multiple Projects as a Combined Package.
    
2. I have developed a UI, which accepts user input via keypad. However, when the input area is focused, the input UI is hidden by the keypad. How can I resolve this?
   Answer: You can resolve this by using the Conformant widget. This widget can be used in elementary apps to account for space taken up by the indicator, virtual keypad and softkey windows when running the illume2 module of E17. So conformant content will be sized and positioned considering the space required for such stuff, and when they popup, as a keyboard shows when an entry is selected, conformant content will not change. For more information, see Conformant.
    
3. I have developed a Tizen wearable application but some of the APIs are returning permission denied error. I have passed all the parameters correctly. What could be the reason for this?
   Answer: Please verify whether you have added all the required privileges in the tizen-manifest.xml file. You can also use Check API and Privilege Violations With Build in Tizen IDE to verify the same.
    
4. I have created a Tizen application. I have a Tizen device but I am unable to install the application on my device for testing. How do I test my application?
   Answer: You can first test your application using the Tizen Emulator Manager. For more information, see Running on the Emulator. You can then test your application on the target device by connecting the wearable target device to your computer and follow the steps mentioned under Running on a Target Device.
    
5. I want my Tizen application to be supported on multiple screen sizes. How do I achieve this?
   Answer: Tizen offers Multiple Screen Support. Tizen is available on various devices, which support different screen sizes and resolutions. For more information, see Multiple Screen Support.
