Gear S app with settings - free text box

Hi,

I am trying to add a free text box to my settings.xml file for the Gear  S app that I'm working on.
Unfortunately, the examples I find do not have free text input. So, is it textbox, text, edittex ?

What is the correct notation of XML code for putting a textbox to my settings ?

Thanks.

Hello,

You can find info in API Documentation:

http://img-developer.samsung.com/contents/cmm/SamsungGearApplication_Programming_Guide_1.0_140723.pdf

Paragraph: 5.1.4 <Item>

Thanks. But that document doesn't explain anything.

For example, I couldn't find the setting type for a free text entry (text box ?)

Also, it is not clarified how to parse the settings on the Gear app.

 

any idea on those 2 points ?

Hello,

1. If there is not settings type for free text entry then what makes you think that it exists.

2.  Register an application control in the config.xml file to receive setting changes:

<tizen:app-control>
   <tizen:src name="index.html"/>
   <tizen:operation name="http://tizen.org/appcontrol/operation/remote_settings"/>
</tizen:app-control>

And  implement code for reading the updatedsettings.xml file:

function readUpdatedSetting(doSetting)
{
   if(!doSetting)

   return;

   var path = "wgt-private/updatedsettings.xml";
   tizen.filesystem.resolve(path, function(file) 
   {
      file.readAsText(function(text)
      {
         doSetting((new DOMParser()).parseFromString(text, "text/xml"));
      });
      file.parent.deleteFile(path);
   });
}

For more info please see documentation.

Because it should exist. If not, then we wouldn't be able to get text preference from user.

>>2.  Register an application control in the config.xml file to receive setting changes.

I already did that. But I don't understand to which variable the settings will be stored, and how shall I read them in the code.

 

Thanks.

the textbox equivalent seems to be inputbox. I can get a text input now.

But I don't know how to reach the set variables. 

in which documentation can I find that ?
