Our Groceries app available - "Your Grocery List" in Gear app store

[Redflea]

I used the app while shopping today at two different stores, and I felt like **** Tracy. For those too young to know, **** Tracy was a detective in the Sunday comics who had a watch he could make video calls on.

But I think this app is even cooler than that.

@cm_walkaround - Christof:

Can you tell me the name of the app (the "package" name, if you know what I'm trying to refer to, not the name of the app in the Gear store).

I'm trying to launch your app from a watch face in WatchMaker app, but the WM app has a bug that is blocking launching non-Samsung apps from their built in tap action options. So I'm going to try launching your app from a command in a script.

The command will be like below, including both the app nick name and the package name:

wm_action("w_app:Your Grocery List`com.xxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxxx")

I need the nick name (which I assume is Your Grocery List) and the package name.

Thanks.

Hi Redflea,

I extracted this from the manifest:
application id="JqzWEo2vMN.OurGroceries" package="JqzWEo2vMN"
The SDK gave it a somewhat strange ID (not the usual com.* pattern).
Hope this helps.
Regarding one of the requests I got for the app in the app store: I use the watch-widget "flaunt" to keep the grocery list alive during my shopping tours. I'll try to implement this later on but for now, Flaunt works very well.
Best
Christof

You can run

pkginfo --listapp

in shell to list all application infos on your watch including app ids.

For some reason tizen developers go with 10 chars limit for web applications, so all web applications have random id's like that.

Excellent! Used sdb shell and then your command and it listed everything.

I'm running it in a "DOS" command window. (You can tell how old I am now.) The command lists all the apps but the scroll buffer in the window CMD window runs out of space. Is there a way to direct/pipe the output to a file on my (Win10) laptop?

Since I'm running the command in a shell (won't run w/just plain sdb...) is there a way to send the file to my laptop from the shell? I can't pipe it to a file on the watch and then pull it, as when I try to pipe to a text file I get "read only file system."

I have only a slight understanding of what I'm doing, if that's not clear. Eager, but sort of non-tech poli sci/mba type.

There is an ansicon.exe in the same path as sdb.exe, better use that instead of dos/cmd.

Yes

 sdb.exe shell pkginfo --listapp [B]> asd.txt[/B]

will output into asd.txt

You can also do

pkginfo --listapp | grep Appid

if all you need is app ids.

either use

sdb push{local_file_path} {remote file_path}

and

 sdb pull {remote_file_path} {local_file_path}

to push pull files or use Connection Explorer view in tizen studio. To get around "read only file system" push your files into /tmp/

@10urshin, thanks! I have my text file exported to my PC via this from you. The info you provided above is going into my "save forever" cache.

 sdb.exe shell pkginfo --listapp > asd.txt

So my evil plan is to use this info to launch the Christof's app from a watch made in the WatchMaker app, using a script. There is an option in the WM app to set Tap actions and choose apps from the watch via a drop-down, but for some reason the built-in tap actions don't work (yet?) with non-Samsung apps on the watch.

So I'm trying to use the Lua-based scripting in the WM app to use a short script to launch the WM app from an object on my watch face. I'm using the following script suggested by another person in the WM G+ forum, which does not work, unfortunately. I've tried several variations of below, swapping package and appid places, etc.

syntax: wm_action("w_app:<package>'<Appid>")

wm_action("w_app:JqzWEo2vMN'JqzWEo2vMN.OurGroceries")

App info from the pkginfo command:
Appid: JqzWEo2vMN.OurGroceries
Package: JqzWEo2vMN
Exec: /opt/usr/apps/JqzWEo2vMN/bin/JqzWEo2vMN.OurGroceries
Apptype: webapp
Appcomp: uiapp
Pkgtype: wgt
Icon: /opt/usr/apps/JqzWEo2vMN/shared/res/JqzWEo2vMN.OurGroceries.png
Label: YourGroceryList
Effectimage-Type: image
Aliasappid:
component: uiapp

Any experience w/Lua that would suggest a different approach to launch Christof's app via script?

Christof - apologies for thread hijack, but I hope that this will enable others to launch your app from their watch faces for quicker/easier access.

Hmm I don't really have Lua experience much but even if i did that wm_action method is inside the watchmaker, so unless you have knowledge about how that method works, lua experience wont bring much to the table.

I saw this post by developer of watchmaker Alex Curran https://plus.google.com/102436534884531510368/posts/YEq6tiFFict , that is the version he implemented tap actions for gear, maybe you didn't updated the companion app or samsung did not released it on store yet? Better ask a question tagging Alex on Google+ group to get a better answer.

Thanks very much. WM app actually uses Lua for its scripting, interestingly.

Yes, I'm running the Tizen beta that supports this, and have asked Alex in the G+ forum and via email and he hasn't responded, unfortunately. I'll ping him again... Thanks for all the help you provided!

This works on my S2

wm_action("w_app:JqzWEo2vMN`JqzWEo2vMN.OurGroceries")

Hi @ all,

FYI:
I will recode this app in native C/C++ style for the next release to get all the features we need (the web-app was just to get the job done quickly). Accordingly, the ID will also change..

Thanks! Someone in the G+ community also figured it out...have to use ` and not ' between the package and app ID! So subtle I missed it even when looking at the corrected version next to what I was using.

Now we have the secret recipe to launch. When the ID changes w/the new native version, Christof can share the new ID (or we can pull it) and keep launching.

Yeah, that was me. I'm Debra.

That sounds great, Christof. I really wish I had been born w/the right wiring/talent to write software, I imagine it's quite rewarding to create.

Thanks for sharing your cool toys w/us.

Christof:

Checking back to see if you're still thinking about a C/C++ version.

Thanks.

@christof
No new suggestions to add. Those already stated are excellent ones.
Just wanted to say thanks for this app. Installed it on Gear S2 with a GearWatchDev face that I made which includes a tapzone using the previously mentioned app id.
Ready to make a PayPal donation to you or to pay on Gear App Store when the kinks are worked out.

Wishing you Great Success.:good:
