DISTRIBUTION OF TIZEN-BASED WATCH APPS HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED
Empty States
Empty states are displayed when your app can’t show its regular content. An empty list is what a user sees when no alarms are set, a gallery after all photos have been deleted, or an empty device list when the watch can’t find any Bluetooth device to connect to. To avoid completely blank screens, provide a simple image and text even when there is no content to show.
Basic empty states
Basic empty states display a non-interactive image and a tagline.
-
Non-interactive images
An empty-state image should look good against the background. We recommend you use your app icon or an image that represents your brand identity.
-
Tagline
Present empty states with a short amount of text that describes the current status of a page. It can either explain that the app doesn’t have any content to display or that the user doesn’t have any content for the app.
Adding items on empty states
Users can add content to empty states when there is no content to display. Any action must be initiated by tapping the empty state image.
-
Interactive image
Use a button-type icon so users can add content. We recommend using a text-based button which implies adding content.
-
Tagline
Provide short and concise text to inform users if and how they can add content.
Title bars for empty states are provided for apps only, not for widgets.
