EMULATOR – ALMOST A REAL DEVICE - Speeds up development cycle - Use for screenshots!

- Customize input

- Keyboard/touch (pinch) - Sensors (accelerometers, network, location) - Multimedia (webcam)

- Content is at - C:\Nokia\Devices\Nokia_Asha_SDK_1_0\bin\Storage\10000

- Needs emulator restart if filesystem updated directly - The number will increase (10002, etc) if multiple simultaneous emulators run

REMOTE DEVICE ACCESS When the emulator is not enough http://developer.nokia.com/Devices/Remote_device_access/ Now with the Asha 501(s)! Caveats: - choose modem connection if prompted - install via memory (not via RDA)

PLATFORM COMPATIBILITY (GOOD!)

LWUIT FOR NOKIA ASHA SOFTWARE PLATFORM 1.0

• New port of LWUIT, targeting specifically new Asha platform

• Based on the LWUIT for Series 40 v1.0 • Adds Nokia Asha Software Platform 1.0 Theme • Adds 8 new components • Changes and adaptations of existing

components to new Asha platform • Improved performance especially in themes

memory usage. • 24 Examples in SDK • Double-check you’re including the right JAR!

LWUIT SDK PLUGIN AND DEV GUIDES LWUIT plugin and examples in Asha SDK 1.0 Beta: C:\Nokia\Devices\Nokia_Asha_SDK_1_0\plugins\lwuit Brand new LWUIT Developer’s Library, covering Asha, Series 40 and UX: https://www.developer.nokia.com/Resources/Library/LWUIT

THE NEW LWUIT UI COMPONENTS FOR THE NOKIA ASHA SOFTWARE PLATFORM:

• ContextMenu • DatePicker • GroupHeader • HeaderBar • InfiniteProgressIndicator • NotificationBar • PopupChoiceGroup • RefreshLoadBar

NOKIA NOTIFICATIONS API - Push based solution - Optimized to be data cost and battery-life friendly - Requires a data connection - Shared channel across multiple applications - Works even if application is not running - Environment selector provided for switching between Sandbox and Production

environments (present in SDK/Emulator by default, but not on devices) - Unlike Full Touch devices, in the Nokia Asha SDK 1.0 it’s a public API

TANTALUM

- Thread pooling (worker pattern, asynchronous processing) - Fork-Join (rich UI threading) - Weakreference hashtables (for optimal memory footprint) - HTTP networking with caching (transparent caching on flash or RMS) - Logging - JSON support from org.json.me library - Simplified XML parsing

- … and it’s small!

LINUX DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS - No official support - …but development is very much possible (with SDK integration even) !

- Installing the SDK - http://developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Developing_Nokia_Asha_apps_on_Linux

- Integrating with NetBeans - http://developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Developing_Nokia_Asha_apps_on_Linux
