      Implementing Drag-and-Drop across Apps in Multi-Window Mode

      one advantage of the large display in the galaxy z fold series is the ability to split the screen and simultaneously use up to three apps. in multi-window mode, you can split the screen, having one window being the main focus and the other two windows being active but not focused. this means all three windows remain active, not just the largest one. you can therefore multitask in either landscape or portrait orientation, giving you even more flexibility. the drag-and-drop feature of android is one of the operations suitable for multi-window mode. the operation starts when the user makes a ui gesture on the application, such as a long press on a ui element, and the application recognizes it as a signal to start dragging data such as an image, video, plain text, url, and so on. a drag shadow becomes visible during this operation to show that the event is happening. when the user releases the shadow, the operation is ended. one example of the operation is dragging a video from the file explorer to a video player application in order to play the video. the official android guide provides a detailed article on how to implement drag-and-drop in your application. in this blog, we show how to implement the drag-and drop-feature between multiple applications. this means we need to implement the functionality in two test applications and will also demonstrate interaction with other applications such as a web browser. figure 1: multi-window mode so let’s see what is needed to take advantage of the multi-window mode and the drag-and-drop feature. implementation step 1 to ensure that your application works in multi-window mode, you need to add an attribute in its manifest’s <activity> element. if you set android:resizeableactivity to true, the activity can be launched in multi-window or in pop-up view, and can adapt to a different screen size. android:resizeableactivity= "true" note : unless you enable this attribute, the user is not able to open the application in multi-window mode. step 2 to be able to drag your desired view, add setonlongclicklistener to it, as shown below: textview1.setonlongclicklistener { v: view -> val item = clipdata.item(v.tag as charsequence) val mimetypes = arrayof(clipdescription.mimetype_text_plain) val data = clipdata(v.tag.tostring(), mimetypes, item) // instantiates the drag shadow builder val dragshadow = view.dragshadowbuilder(v) val flags = view.drag_flag_global // starts the drag v.startdrag(data // data to be dragged , dragshadow // drag shadow builder , v // local data about the drag and drop operation , flags ) return@setonlongclicklistener true } note : the drag_flag_global flag is required to enable drag-and-drop across applications. this means you can drop this view to another application only when the flag is set. step 3 in mainactivity.kt, register a drag event listener object by calling setondraglistener for each view of the application for which you want to enable dragging and dropping: textview1.setondraglistener(ondraglistenertv1) textview2.setondraglistener(ondraglistenertv2) textview3.setondraglistener(ondraglistenertv3) here, ondraglistenertv1, ondraglistenertv2, and ondraglistenertv3 are callback functions for textview1, textview2, and textview3, respectively. step 4 next, implement the callback functions. here, only the callback function for textview1 is shown. you first need to declare a variable to store the action type for the incoming event. val action: int = event.getaction() step 5 inside dragevent.action_drop, get the dragged item from clipdata and check its mime type. if the mime type is set to text/plain or text/html, get the text value from the item object and allow the drop operation. otherwise, simply show a toast message. val item: item = event.getclipdata().getitemat(0) var mtype = event.clipdescription.getmimetype(0) if(mtype == "text/plain" || mtype== "text/html"){ // gets the text data from the item. dragdata = item.text.tostring() } else{ toast.maketext(applicationcontext,"operation not allowed"+mtype,toast.length_long).show() return@ondraglistener true } note : in textview1, we allow any string to be dragged and dropped. but in textview2, only numbers are allowed and in textview3, only email addresses are allowed. necessary validations are added accordingly. demonstration figure 2: both dragapp and dropapp opened in multi-window mode along with a browser figure 3: selecting text from the browser figure 4: text dropped into dropapp from the browser figure 5: text "hello world!" dragged from dragapp to dropapp sample application a sample application has been developed to illustrate how to implement drag-and-drop between applications in multi-window mode. dragndropblog-multiwindow (1.23 mb) sep 27, 2022 conclusion foldable devices provide a richer experience than phones and to take advantage of their features, every new form factor should be added to the application configuration. the drag-and-drop feature can further enhance the application user experience. additional resources on the samsung developers site the samsung developers site has many resources for developers looking to build for and integrate with samsung devices and services. stay in touch with the latest news by creating a free account and subscribing to our monthly newsletter.

      Enhancements for Beta Testing Apps in Seller Portal

      beta testing an app allows you to find and fix issues before publishing in galaxy store and provides a better user experience by incorporating feedback from your testers. the galaxy store seller portal team is excited to announce enhancements to beta testing. we’ve listened to you and have implemented your comments and suggestions to improve beta testing functionality! beta test any app at any time if your app is already published in galaxy store, you can now beta test your app while it is being registered or under review. this allows you to test your app or updates to your app at any time. when updating a binary, you must use the same package name and make sure the beta version number is higher than the version number of your existing app. if the beta version number is the same or lower than the version number of your existing app and your beta tester has your existing app installed on their device, this beta tester cannot install the beta version. likewise, when you publish your updated app (the version that will be published in galaxy store after your beta testing is completed), make sure this version number is higher than the beta version number. otherwise, your beta testers are not able to update their beta version to the updated app. that is, when you assign a version number to your beta app and your updated app, the beta version number must be greater than the existing app's version number and the updated app's version number must be greater than the beta version number: (existing app version number) < (beta version number) < (updated app version number). run open and closed beta tests simultaneously an open beta test allows anyone to download your app using the specified link. a closed beta test allows only the testers you specify (identified by their samsung account) to download your app using the specified link. previously, only one type of test could be run at a time. now, you can run both an open and a closed beta test at the same time. add a beta test app to test an app, add a beta test instance in seller portal. in seller portal, select the app for which you want to run a beta test. complete the required information in the app information and binary tabs and click add beta test. select the type of beta test to run, click add, and confirm that you want to add a beta test app. your beta test app is added to the list of apps and the application title displays the type of beta test app being registered. note the status of the beta test app is beta registering. click on the status of the beta test app to open it in seller portal. update any of the information for the beta test app in the tabbed areas (for example, add the binary to be tested). for a closed beta test, you must add tester settings (the samsung account ids of your testers) and feedback channel (an address where you receive feedback), located in the binary tab. note that the beta testing url (the link you share with your testers) is located in the binary tab. after you have entered the required information, click submit beta test (if required information is missing, the button is grey). in the list of apps, when the beta test app status shows beta deployed, your app is ready to be tested! what’s next? these are just a couple of new features we’ve implemented based on suggestions we received and more updates are planned. look for additional announcements about enhancements to beta testing in the near future. refer to the app registration beta test guide in seller portal for more information about beta testing. additional resources on the samsung developers site this site has many resources for developers looking to build for and integrate with samsung devices and services. stay in touch with the latest news by creating a free account or by subscribing to our monthly newsletter. visit the marketing resources page for information on promoting and distributing your apps. finally, our developer forum is an excellent way to stay up-to-date on all things related to the galaxy ecosystem.

      Remote Device Manager, An Easy Way to Launch Your Application with Tizen Studio

      the remote device manager provides a mechanism to deploy a project remotely from tizen studio to a tizen-enabled device, such as galaxy watch. tizen-enabled devices can be connected or disconnected through the remote device manager if they are on the same network. once the connection is made, a device log is shown in the log view. you can also use the interface of the remote device manager for executing sdb shell commands. prerequisites: tizen studio 2.0 or higher launch a project with remote device manager step 1: disable bluetooth if the watch has not been upgraded and the tizen version is below 5.0, bluetooth should be disabled during this process. in upgraded watches, you don’t need to disable bluetooth. path: settings > connections > bluetooth figure 1: disabling bluetooth step 2: enable debugging mode make sure debugging mode is enabled. you can enable debugging mode from the settings menu, as shown below. path: settings > about watch > debugging is turned on figure 2: enabling debugging mode step 3: set the wi-fi to always on this step is optional, but to avoid any unnecessary issues, it is better to set the wi-fi to always on. leaving the setting on auto can sometimes create issues. path: settings > connections > wi-fi > always on figure 3: setting the wi-fi to always on caution: setting the wi-fi to always on can drain the battery drastically. after debugging, it should be set back to auto again for better battery life. step 4: connect to the network connect the watch to the same network as your pc. choose either of the following ways to connect the devices to the same network: • by creating a mobile hotspot • by using wi-fi under the same router step 5: restart the watch after the previous steps have been completed, restart the device. if you do not, the connection setup shows an error. figure 4: rebooting the watch step 6: establish the connection from the remote device manager in tizen studio, go to launch remote device manager. figure 5: launching the remote device manager scan for new devices. the window shows a list of available devices and their ip addresses. you can also add a device manually from the remote device manager window. figure 6: searching for available devices for connection to connect to the device, click on the connect toggle next to the watch ip address and port information. the watch receives an rsa authentication request through a pop-up during this connection setup and it is mandatory to accept the rsa authentication to complete the process. figure 7: connecting to the watch from the remote device manager you are now all set to deploy your app from tizen studio to the wearable device. step 7: permit to install user applications as a security feature, the device or emulator you have connected to does not contain the necessary certificates for installing user applications, and you must install them before being able to run your application on it. to do so, select “permit to install applications” from the context menu of the device in the device manager. if the “the permit to install application is not required for this device” appears, this step is unnecessary. figure 8: setting the permit to install applications in the device manager step 8: launch your project now, deploy your project on your connected watch, as shown in the image below. path: right-click on the project > run as > 1 tizen native application figure 9: deploying the project from tizen studio to a connected watch some helpful tips for connecting your device with the remote device manager check the ip address of your watch from connections > wi-fi -> wi-fi networks > tap on the ssid (your wi-fi name) > ip address. if your device is already shown in the remote device manager's history, delete it and try to connect again. launch the device manager to see the log view. figure 10: the log view from device manager make sure the watch is not connected with any other devices, including a phone. otherwise, the connection fails and you receive the following error message: figure 11: error message during multiple connections if you cannot find the watch after scanning for devices from the remote device manager, make sure your device is on the same network. to check this, go to the command prompt on your pc and ping the ip address of the watch in the following manner: ping < watch_ip > if the ping command fails to connect to the ip address of your watch, it is not on the same network, and the sdb / remote device manager does not work. to fix this, you need to change the network settings of your router or pc. the issue can also be caused by firewall settings, although this is rare. conclusion the main purpose of this article is to help new developers to deploy tizen projects to a real device using the tizen remote device manager. hopefully, this tutorial is helpful for beginners and gives them a good experience with tizen studio. if you have any other problems or queries regarding launching projects with the remote device manager, feel free to reach out through the samsung developers forum.

      Best of Galaxy Store Awards 2019 Winner: iGear Radio, Best Watch App

      we continue to celebrate the top performing apps in creativity, quality, design, and innovation who were winners of our best of galaxy store awards. next in our blog series, we feature igear radio, winner of best watch app for 2019. pavel slaby, developer of igearradio shares with us why he developed igear radio, what it takes to make a successful app, and some of the samung developer program resources that helped him during the development process. how did you get into developing watch apps? programming has been my hobby for many years. i downloaded tizen studio and found that my experience in developing different application formats (html, javascript, and css) is a great basis to get started. so i got into it. what inspired your idea for igear radio? i like to listen to the radio. i always have my watch on my hand, and i don't want to carry my mobile with me all the time when i want to play the radio. but unfortunately i didn't find any applications, so i programmed one. what is your process for developing a watch app? first, i did a good research to see if there was the same or similar application. then i created an application that i wanted to be functional. it must do exactly what i want. at this stage, it is constant testing and testing. finally, i focused on the final design and user-friendliness. when developing a watch app, what is the most important ux consideration in terms of design? the most important thing is to make an application that is simple to use, but includes all the features you want. it must not be too complicated, as users will not want to use it. the screen on the watch is small, so it is important to allow the user to quickly access a specific item. what is the biggest technical/design hurdle when designing a watch app? make an app that everyone would love. i was constantly watching user comments. first of all, i learned from the comments that were not very commendable. gradually, i improved the application based on how users felt working with it. can you tell us about igear radio and what made it so successful? people still like to listen to the radio. igear radio is an application that includes over 20,000 radio stations from over 170 countries. most importantly, you don't have to carry your phone with you. the application is completely independent of the phone. it is enough if the watch is connected to the internet via lte or wifi. you can connect headphones to your watch and take a walk, only carrying your watch, to listen to your favorite radio station. since winning the best of galaxy store award, you launched igear radio pro. what changes did you make with igear radio pro? i released the free version of igear radio so that users can experience the app and decide whether it is usable for them. at the same time, i released a paid version of igear radio pro, where users can choose from over 20,000 stations worldwide. they can also create their own favorite stations list at igearradio.com. my biggest focus with igear radio is to keep all streams live. where there specific samsung developer program resources or support you used during your app development process? using templates directly in tizen studio helped me a lot. the galaxy store badges are also great because i could put them on my site. i also used the developer forum several times, which helped me a lot in some situations. what is next for igear radio? i'm still trying to improve the app based on both my and my users' experiences. my goal is to make the application perfect in both technical and design aspects. what advice do you have for new developers looking to create a successful watch app business? if you have a really good idea, don't hesitate. try tizen studio, it's a great helper for developing watch applications. how has samsung helped your business? i very much welcome samsung to help me distribute my application. samsung has a great galaxy store portal for sellers, where you can view statistics from many angles. i must also mention the excellent cooperation in promoting my application. thanks to pavel for sharing his insights on watch app development and the importance of the user experience in creating a successful app. be sure to check out igear radio in the galaxy store. follow us on twitter at @samsung_dev for more developer interviews as well as tips for building games, apps, and more for the galaxy store. find out more about our best of galaxy store awards.

      Minimizing Risks When Distributing an App

      when you are about to launch a new or updated app, have you ever worried that you may need to make a last-minute change to fix an issue or adapt to a change in the market? worry no more! a new feature, staged rollout, has been added to seller portal that allows you to distribute your app gradually while monitoring user responses. now, when using staged rollout, if there is an unexpected issue with your app, you can quickly and easily pause the distribution of your app while you fix the problem. in the meantime, new customers are able to download the previous version of your app. the staged rollout option is initially set from the publication tab of your app and is available for android apps only. launch your app to a small group of users using staged rollout, you can target a small group of users who can download your app, allowing you to distribute your app in a more stable and controlled manner. the rollout rate, a number from 0 to 100, sets the percentage of users who will be able to download your app. these users are randomly selected and don’t know that your app is going through a staged rollout. if there is an issue with your app, fewer users are affected by the problem. as you start to see positive results, you can gradually increase the rollout rate, increasing the number of users who can download your app. if you set a rollout rate of 0%, your app is not published in galaxy store. if you set a rollout rate of 100%, your app is distributed normally (to all users who are eligible to download your app). launch your app in selected countries using staged rollout, you can choose the countries in which you distribute your app allowing you to control the availability of your app. for example, you may want to monitor how users in china react to your app before distributing it to the rest of asia. select apply staged rollout rates by country to display the regions and countries in which you can distribute your app. you can also set the rollout rate for selected countries. for countries that are not selected, the rollout rate set at the top of the staged rollout section is used. in the example above, unselected countries have a rollout rate of 0% (your app will not be published in galaxy store in those countries). after you are satisfied with the rollout in china, you can select additional countries in asia (and countries in other areas of the world) and then set a rollout rate for each country. if you want to roll out your app to all countries, select apply to all countries where the app is sold and set the rollout rate. or, if you want to distribute your app normally (to all users globally), you can disable staged rollout. pause staged rollout without staged rollout, if you find an issue with your app after distribution, you must suspend the app’s sale which removes it from galaxy store. when you suspend an app, new customers are not able to download the previous version of your app. depending on how long it takes for you to fix the issue, this can adversely affect your business. using staged rollout, you can pause the distribution. when you pause the distribution, new customers are able to download the previous version of your app from galaxy store. after pausing a staged rollout, you can resume the existing staged rollout or resume the staged rollout after updating your app. update staged rollout options after submitting your app for review, you can quickly access and update the staged rollout options from the app list. once your app is published and the staged rollout has started, you cannot decrease the rollout rate. we want your feedback! take a minute to tell us what you think about staged rollout by completing this short survey. you can also share your opinions about other features in seller portal and how we can continue to improve our services to you. additional resources on the samsung developers site the samsung developers site has many resources for developers looking to build for and integrate with samsung devices and services. stay in touch with the latest news by creating a free account and subscribing to our monthly newsletter. visit the marketing resources page for information on promoting and distributing your apps. finally, our developer forum is an excellent way to stay up-to-date on all things related to the galaxy ecosystem.

      How to Customize and Enhance Text Elements on a Watch Face

      watch face studio (wfs) is an intuitive graphical tool that provides designers a means to design watch faces for the wear os smartwatch ecosystem without the need for coding. basic information on a watch face is typically presented as text, and watch face studio enables you to customize how the text is displayed. this article introduces three features you can use to enhance the text on your watch face design: tag expressions curved text bitmap fonts you can follow along with the demonstrations in this blog by downloading the sample project. tag expressions tag expressions enable you to create watch face components for which the rotation, placement, and opacity changes based on tag values. the tag values represent watch data, such as the date and time, battery status, sensor and health data, moon phase, and mathematical operations. for example, you can create a watch face that shows the date and time, and a progress bar that fills up each minute. this section describes how to implement this using tag expressions. to implement the dynamic watch face: create a text component. in the "properties" panel, select the text field text box. select the tags button that appears. figure 1: tags button to add the hour text, from the tag list, select [hour_0_11], then select done. figure 2: tags list similarly, to add the minutes text, create a text component with the [min] tag. to implement the progress bar for the seconds display: a. create a progress bar component. b. define its value as the [sec] tag and set its maximum value to 60. create text components for the date-related elements: [day_week_f] (day of the week), [mon_f] (name of the month), and [day_1_31_z] (day of the month). note : you can also display the weekday and month information as numbers, by using different tags. keep in mind that in watch face studio, sunday is the first day of the week. the following figure shows the progress bar on the watch face after some visual adjustments. figure 3: seconds progress bar on watch face for more examples of tag expression implementation, see the tag expressions code lab for watch face studio. curved text you can place text around a curve by selecting from predefined angular ranges, or by defining a specific start position and distance. you can also easily set the text direction. to place curved text around the top of the watch face: create a text component and define the text you want to display. in the "properties" panel, select apply curved-text. select ok. the curved text settings appear. in the "curving" fields, define the width and height of the circle or oval around which the text is to be placed. the width and height values are in pixels. for this demonstration, set both the width and height to 436. to place the text around the top of the watch face, in the "range" section, select the upper half circle. figure 4: configuring the curved text the following figure shows the curved text on the watch face after some visual adjustments. figure 5: curved text on a watch face note : you can also implement curved text on complications. bitmap font bitmap fonts enable you to replace information on the watch face, such as digits, symbols, and day of the week, with customized images. use different icons and images in the bitmap font to make your watch face more interesting. to implement icons for the am/pm tag: create a text component. in the "properties" panel, select the text field text box. select [ampm] from the tags list, and select done. figure 6: am/pm tag in the "text appearance" section, select bitmap font. open the "bitmap font setting" dialog. figure 7: bitmap font configuration in the "bitmap font setting" dialog, select the other tab. to add an image for a specific string, select + and browse to the image on your computer. do this for both the "am" and "pm" strings. to close the dialog, select ok. figure 8: adding a bitmap font image the watch face displays the selected images in place of the "am" and "pm" text strings. a watch face can have multiple bitmap fonts. you can add another bitmap font from the dropdown menu and apply different bitmap fonts to different text elements. figure 9: creating another bitmap font note : the sample project contains two bitmap fonts. conclusion watch face studio provides various text options for the watch face. the text customization features described in this blog can help you create an eye-catching watch face. resources for more information about watch face studio, see the watch face studio documentation. you can also visit the samsung developers forums, an active and friendly community where you can ask for and receive help with your application development. the samsung developers site has many resources for

      Create Your Tizen Web App On Visual Studio Code

      developers that want to create apps for galaxy watch have traditionally used tizen studio for their work. tizen studio consists of an ide, emulator, toolchain, sample code, and documentation and can run on windows, mac and linux. it allows one to develop native and web applications. the tizen development process also allows the developer to build an app using the command line interface (cli), without relying on official tizen studio. however, to develop a .net application, developers need to install visual studio. recently, tizen also started supporting visual studio code, or vs code, for developing tizen web apps through a visual studio code extension. this extension provides features such as preview, javascript assistant, structure view, new page, html assistant, undo, and redo. the extension also offers intellisense, a popular feature of visual studio, which displays a list of recommended values when specifying attributes or apis and displays a description of an attribute or an api when you hover the mouse over that attribute or api. today, we will see how to set up the environment for developing tizen web app in visual studio code. in the future blogs, i will cover running your app on real device or emulator, certificate management, wysiwyg design editor and intellisense. let’s get started. prerequisites visual studio code extension for tizen support oracle java development kit (jdk) 8 or openjdk 12 to use tizen baseline sdk tizen baseline sdk node.js setting up your environment start the visual studio code development environment and follow these steps. step 1 in the activity bar of vs code, click on extensions and in the search bar, type tizen web. click install and it will start the installation of the extension. it will install three extensions pack consists of wappl for baseline sdk, taurine for tau, design editor for wysiwyg design editor. step 2 in vs code, click view > command palette. then type ‘tizen web: change tizen sdk path’ and click on ‘tizen web: change tizen sdk path’ after it appears. step 3 as the path is not set, it should show ‘null’. click on “change path”. step 4 after clicking on “change path”, a dialog appears to submit the tizen sdk path. in this case, “c:\tizen-studio” is the default path on windows and will be used here. step 5 in the input field of the command palette that appears, type “tizen web: install tizen baseline sdk” and press enter. step 6 if you have already installed tizen studio, click on ‘yes’. if you have not installed, after clicking on ‘no’, it will allow you to install. project creation now, the visual studio code for tizen web is ready for development. let’s create a project. step 1 in the command palette search box, type ‘tizen web: create wizard project’ step 2 click on ‘new project’ as shown below, step 3 create a project from template for example. you can also check the sample apps. step 4 select ‘wearable’ to create a project for galaxy watch and then select tizen 4.0 as the target version. step 5 select ‘tau basic’ template. however, there are other options like: basic ui project, tau list and ime template. you can get more about tizen advance ui(tau) here. step 6 define a project name desired package id and finally click on ‘finish’ button. at this point, your project is ready to develop in vs code. conclusion in this article, an example is shown of setting up the environment of tizen web in visual studio code. so far, the new tizen web experience with vs code seems great. the rich features in vs code, such as the drag and drop design editor and intellisense, are quite impressive. if you have any question regarding this, please feel free to ask questions in the samsung developer forums.

      Increase Downloads from Galaxy Store with Galaxy Store Badge Updates

      you invest so much time and effort on engineering and creating amazing content; however, it’s also important to invest in promoting your product. to help developers and designers find success in galaxy store, we chatted with niklas lyback, head of the developer success team, about the latest updates to galaxy store badges. what are galaxy store badges? galaxy store badges are a marketing tool to help increase app downloads. a badge provides a direct, trackable link to help optimize and improve marketing efforts. you can use these links in social media, on websites, in email campaigns or anywhere on the web when you want to send users to the product detail page of your content in galaxy store. badges have two distinct elements: a galaxy store short url and the actual badge image. a short url looks more professional on social media and, in addition to tracking clicks, helps with reporting and consumer insights. a galaxy store badge is a visual cue that helps the consumer understand that the link will take them to the app store. what are the main benefits that badges offer developers? badges allow you to be more proactive in your marketing – they improve targeted advertising, help you understand your audience better, and support overall brand-building and promotion. it’s also been proven that badges help drive consumers to your store. the reports in the seller portal show how the page views and downloads are driven by different sources: downloads from the badge links versus organic searches. what are the new updates to galaxy store badges? there are two improvements to galaxy store badges: the way sellers request performance reports and new information the report provides. moving forward, the click count report which was previously available on program.developer.samsung.com is deprecated and you are provided a new form where you specify the time period you wish to examine. this report is generated in minutes and emailed to you. new information now in the reports is the cumulative clicks per country. this information helps you to optimize your marketing efforts, as you will learn more about your customers. both these changes were just rolled out in december. what is the process of signing up for galaxy store badges through galaxy store seller portal? once the game, app, watch face or theme has been certified and has obtained sale status, under the promotion tab and badge, you can create the short link to content item. you need to create the tag “galaxy.store/weather” and then the tag can be considered as a campaign code that can be used to create multiple links for different channels, in order to test which one converts the best. you can find more details about the full process on our website. are there any galaxy store badge success stories that you’d like to highlight? best of galaxy store awards 2019 winner matteo dini is a great example of how badges can be integrated into your strategy to develop a successful brand. matteo used galaxy store badges to not only help build his brand, but as a promotional tool that helped him manage the success of campaigns through monitoring clicks and results. how can others emulate his success? start early in building your brand and create a presence on social media. it will pay off in the long run. marketing and user acquisition are key strategies to develop alongside your product. something else to keep in mind is to invest in paid promotion, since it increases organic discovery. when you promote an item and it gets downloads, it climbs up the rankings. since merchandizing teams use an internal top growing list to discover new items to share, paid promotion is a big part of increasing your chances of being featured in galaxy store. are there any resources developers and designers should be consulting? in addition to badges, we have a complementary collection of marketing resources - social promotion guidelines, social media kits, galaxy store asset creator, and lifestyle photo assets - to help you create polished content for digital and social media. the new galaxy store badge click report with country information is available here. are there any final thoughts you’d like to share? when you invest in your store and take control of promotion, it can help with customer acquisition and ultimately financial success. galaxy store badges are an excellent tool to help you understand your audience and build brand legitimacy. we want to thank niklas for sharing compelling insights on galaxy store badges to help developers and designers successfully promote their products. follow up this site has many resources for developers looking to build for and integrate with samsung devices and services. stay in touch with the latest news by creating a free account or by subscribing to our monthly newsletter. visit the marketing resources page for information on promoting and distributing your apps. finally, our developer forum is an excellent way to stay up-to-date on all things related to the galaxy ecosystem. follow us on twitter at @samsung_dev for more developer interviews as well as for tips on building games, apps, and more.
