How to Develop on Samsung Smart TV with Tizen (Part III)

In our previous post, we reach the goal to run a demo app over a Samsung Smart TV Simulator. 

To reach that objetive, we had to read a little about Tizen, the Samsung development plataform, and Install last versión of Tizen SDK, and do some adicional update to get the right emulator versions.

After that, our demo app was on the simulator... but, How we could make the next step? The app in a real Samsung Smart TV

In this post, we will describe the steps that we had to make to install the app in the Samsung Device

Let´s Start

This is how we run our app over the Samsung Simulator, according our previous post:

The selected demo App is TVSlideShowDemo is from the gitHub repo https://github.com/Samsung/TizenTVApps

And here we go:

Step #01: Switch Samsung Smart TV to Developer Mode

The way to switch to developer mode would be different depending of the Samsung Smart TV model, but, in my case I am doing the tests over a Samsung JU6500 with Tizen Operating System, and firmware version 1460, and software version HKMUABC-1460

So, to switch to developer mode:

1) Make sure that the Notebook and Smart TV are on the same local network

2) Turn on TV ==> Go to Apps ==> Pressed 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 

3) Turn ON developer mode. Entered the PC's IP address. Pressed OK 

4) Then, I reboot TV

I typed the private IP from the PC where I have the Tizen SDK, and after the reboot of TV we have the config how we need:

Our config

• TV IP private:            192.168.0.102
• Macbook IP private:  192.168.0.103

Step #02: Connect Tizen SDK to Samsung Smart TV

Let see how we can connect the Tizen SDK to the Phisical Samsung Device:

And now, we are ready to Launch the app

And, the first time that we run the app, we should configure the security profile:

 The Preferences Dialog, after "add" a new profile named "pablo"

 And the Keystore and certificate generator:

 The place where the keystore will be generated

And now, we are ready to Launch the app to run on the phisical device:



A little warning message:

And the app TVSlideShowDemo is installed on the Samsung Smart TV:

And we can see the TVSlideShowDemo in action on the TV:

And we have finished our new goal to deploy an App over a Samsung Smart TV with Tizen operating system.

Next Steps

We realize that is pretty simple develop over web Tizen plataform, because this is basically html, javascript and jquety. We should have at out fingerprints a pair of good links with the API definition and the list with the available widget that we have to our provision.

Fortunately, we can find its in:

• UI Component Reference
• Tizen Mobile Web UI Framework Reference
• Tau tutorial
