Tizen Service App Guide

In this guide, we will show you how to write a hello world tpk (Tizen Package) using lwnode.

1. Generate a Tizen native app project using Tizen CLI

Create a project

Create a project with the command below.

tizen create native-project -n <app-name> -p <profile> -t ServiceApp

For example,

tizen create native-project -p iot-headless-6.5 -t ServiceApp -n "helloworld"

Add index.js in the res folder

There will be a res folder in your project. It's the place where your code should be.

Create a JavaScript file named index.js in the folder. It will be an entry point for your app.

For example,

// path: res/index.js
console.log('hello world');

Configure your application information

tizen-manifest.xml, the application manifest, consists of application information, such as package, privileges, and version which are available for your application. To run your code on lwnode, you need to write an executable file path as below.

<!-- add `/usr/bin/lwnode` into the `exec` attribute. -->
<service-application appid="org.example.hello" exec="/usr/bin/lwnode" ...>

2. Create a tpk (Tizen Package)

Use the commands below to pack your app as a tpk.

mkdir -p .buildResult
zip ./.buildResult/<app-id>.tpk * -r
tizen package -t tpk -- ./.buildResult/<app-id>.tpk

3. Install and run the app on a device

Install the Tizen package on a target device and run it. You can find the console log, hello world, using dlogutil <app-id>.

dlogutil <app-id>
