Cordova Tizen

Cordova Tizen

Cordova Tizen is a skeleton web application which allows a developer to build and run a Cordova web application on Tizen. Cordova port to Tizen is done thanks to a simple JS wrapper (shim layer) doing the mapping of the Cordova Web API to the Tizen Web API.

Set up your environment

Open a terminal, and navigate to the root cordova-tizen folder. A Makefile resides here; You can run make on individual target tasks:

• make js – builds phonegap.js from source javascript files to libs/phonegap.js
• make copy_js – copies libs/phonegap.js to framework/phonegap-$(PGVERSION).js (e.g: phonegap-1.5.0.js). Modify this path if you want it in another location.
• make sample_app – package the skeleton web application as a “wgt” widget package which can be imported from Tizen SDK IDE. (File->Import->Widget [Project and Widget File] -> select widget)
