after spending the last 20 years of my career working in the us, two years ago i packed up and moved over 10,000 miles to korea to work for samsung. i was curious. as a korean-american, i wanted to join one of the largest companies in the world and see for myself how both the country and the company operated. best-known for its massive consumer electronics hardware business, samsung makes beautiful products that touch the lives of millions of people, including my family. exciting, right? but not the obvious fit for my background in banking and startup environments. navigating life in a new country and learning a totally new industry is tough! i admit it – initially i was clueless. but soon i realized that i had joined samsung at a very important and transformational time. the company is putting a huge strategic focus on software and services, creating intelligent platforms that connect all the samsung devices and services to create a seamless user experience. it is also increasing its engagement and support of third party developers and the innovations they can provide on top of samsung platforms. it is clear to me that we are tasked with collaborating with developers to create future success together. of course this kind of evolution raises a lot of questions. what kind of experiences and services will new “connected thinking” technologies give rise to? what type of business models and partnerships are needed to generate maximum revenue in the new service economy? how will experiences be developed and delivered to users? **#sdc2017 ** we look forward to exploring the possibilities of 'connected thinking' with you at sdc 2017 – our 2 day developer conference taking place on october 18 & 19th at moscone west in san francisco. during the keynotes, you’ll hear more about samsung’s software and services plans and new initiatives from dj koh, president of mobile communications business at samsung electronics and executive vice presidents injong rhee, head of r&d, software & services of mobile communications business and eui suk chung, head of service intelligence of mobile communications business. we are also thrilled to have some very inspiring industry leaders joining us this year including stan lee, world renowned former editor-in-chief of marvel comics. artist and creator rob prior whose commercial works include illustrations and covers for dungeons & dragons, sculptures and props for joss whedon’s firefly, and original monster creations for buffy the vampire slayer, rain paris, musician and youtube star who will join stan lee to discuss how connected thinking motivates creativity and disruption in a session called “comics, movies and music”. in addition, arianna huffington, thrive global founder and ceo, will join marc mathieu, cmo of samsung electronics america in a keynote conversation with on samsung and thrive’s shared philosophy on the use of technology to create social good. we have a packed schedule of interesting technical, business and panel sessions, addressing a wide variety of technologies and topics such as intelligence, iot, vr, health, internet. sdc is also an opportunity for you to meet and network with technology experts and thought leaders from samsung and the industry. check out all the conference details and browse the session catalog. join us! register now for sdc2017 so we can innovate and prosper together in the new, intelligent software and services economy. i look forward to meeting you there.

samsung application management 1. introduction samsung's application management is a solution that helps prevent battery consumption due to unintended background operations of applications. this feature limits background activities according to the application usage patterns such as periods of non-activity and background battery consumption, and applies either the sleeping or deep sleeping modes through data analysis based on these patterns. 2. purpose this guide introduces sleeping and deep sleeping application features, and how to set exceptions to exempt an application from application control. 3. details 1) sleeping applications background applications that have not been used for about 3 days and causing poor system health (ex. battery consumption) will go into the sleeping mode. a bucket restriction applies to any sleeping applications, and features such as job, alarm, and foreground-service are restricted. you can see the different buckets, and the restriction level for each bucket, at the android reference site. restricted bucket application restrictions the user may also turn on the sleeping mode for a specific application. menu path 2) deep sleeping applications applications that have not been used for a long period of time (currently set to 16 days, but subject to change according to samsung policies) will go into the deep sleeping mode. deep sleeping applications only become active when the user opens them, and become inactive when they go into the background. inactive applications can't perform any activities, including notifications or updates. the user may also turn on the deep sleeping mode for a specific application. menu path 3) setting exceptions samsung's automatic application control management system places applications to the sleeping or deep sleeping modes according to their usage patterns. if there are applications that need to be set aside as exceptions, the user can do so at the following path: settings > device care > battery > background usage limits menu path 4. api deeplink api for the sleeping applications, deep sleeping applications, and never sleeping applications screens. // launch the detail activity of background usage limits intent intent = new intent(); intent.setaction("com.samsung.android.sm.action_open_checkable_listactivity"); intent.setpackage("com.samsung.android.lool"); intent.putextra("activity_type", 2); // 0 : sleeping apps / 1 : deep sleeping apps / 2 : never sleeping apps startactivity(intent); 5. changes in one ui 6 (with android 14) to strengthen the android platform, our collaboration with google has resulted in a unified policy that we expect will create a more consistent and reliable user experience for galaxy users. since one ui 6.0, foreground services of apps targeting android 14 will be guaranteed to work as intended so long as they are developed according to android's new foreground service api policy.

this is the final blog in a series to introduce the sample application workout, a tizen example for monitoring health sensors on a wearable device. the first blog, workout -- a tizen sample app for monitoring health sensors, presented the basic features of the application. the second blog, adding distance traveled to the tizen workout sample app, described how distance traveled is calculated. the third blog, adding heart rate summary to the tizen workout app, demonstrated how heart rate data is gathered. this blog describes how the application uses the tizen.wearable.circularui extension of the xamarin.forms framework. this extension provides a set of components customized for the wearable profile that makes development easier and efficient. it provides, among others, a circlelistview component, which is used on the summary view of the application. the list contains elements that differ from each other in terms of appearance. apart from the different contents of the text, they allow you to: use different icon images set different positions of text elements on selected elements use converters for selected list items display the action button on selected elements of the list time distance pace intensity itemsource the information about how the individual elements of the list should look like is provided by itemsource, which is represented by the list of elements of the detailsitemdata class. views/workout/detailspageview.xaml <cui:circlelistview.itemssource> <x:array type="{x:type models:detailsitemdata}"> <models:detailsitemdata name="time" value="{binding elapsedtime}" icon="images/details_time_icon.png"> <models:detailsitemdata.valuebounds> <rectangle x=".5" y="193" width="-1" height="-1" /> </models:detailsitemdata.valuebounds> <models:detailsitemdata.namebounds> <rectangle x=".5" y="245" width="-1" height="-1" /> </models:detailsitemdata.namebounds> </models:detailsitemdata> <models:detailsitemdata name="distance" value="{binding distance}" icon="images/details_distance_icon.png"> <models:detailsitemdata.valuebounds> <rectangle x=".5" y="193" width="-1" height="-1" /> </models:detailsitemdata.valuebounds> <models:detailsitemdata.namebounds> <rectangle x=".5" y="245" width="-1" height="-1" /> </models:detailsitemdata.namebounds> </models:detailsitemdata> <models:detailsitemdata name="average pace" value="{binding averagepace}" icon="images/details_average_pace_icon.png"> <models:detailsitemdata.valuebounds> <rectangle x=".5" y="193" width="-1" height="-1" /> </models:detailsitemdata.valuebounds> <models:detailsitemdata.namebounds> <rectangle x=".5" y="245" width="-1" height="-1" /> </models:detailsitemdata.namebounds> </models:detailsitemdata> <models:detailsitemdata name="intensity" value="{binding intensity, converter={staticresource bpmrangevalueconverter}}" icon="images/details_intensity_icon.png" isactionbuttonvisible="true"> <models:detailsitemdata.valuebounds> <rectangle x=".5" y="172" width="-1" height="-1" /> </models:detailsitemdata.valuebounds> <models:detailsitemdata.namebounds> <rectangle x=".5" y="224" width="-1" height="-1" /> </models:detailsitemdata.namebounds> </models:detailsitemdata> </x:array> </cui:circlelistview.itemssource> models/workout/detailsitemdata.cs using xamarin.forms;

welcome to the latest entry in the 2018 source code: a dev’s guide. to help devs make the most of 2018, we’re posting informative q&as with industry experts throughout the month of january. in this post, matt smith, vp of visa developer platform, shares his insights, tips and predictions for the mobile payments space. how do you think the rise of mobile commerce changes the way devs design apps? the rise of mobile commerce has forced developers to design and develop for mobile-first user journeys. the ability to conveniently find and transact on things from anywhere at any time is having a profound impact on the way developers design applications. companies are seeing the need compete on the differentiated experiences they create. consuming outside api-based services that complement your application’s purpose and thus let go of traditional development philosophies that mandated owning your entire value chain provides agility and supports focus on the customer experience. these commerce experiences rely heavily on all tenants of responsive design and a core of api-centric resources. in short, mobile commerce has pushed developers to consume and produce apis that can be harmonized to create convenient digital journeys for their customers. mobile payments are a space where devs need to collaborate with big financial players/institutions. what’s your advice to devs on strategic partnerships? devs should always keep an open mind on who to partner with. there have been many instances where defined markets have failed to adopt or partner with new technologies and ways of executing, which has caused many large name brands and companies to fail. video rental companies refused to invest in online streaming. taxi companies refused to develop or deploy an easier way to catch a ride. big retailers have almost gone bankrupt refusing to modernize and compete with online retailers. strategic partnerships can help you move forward and show you new perspective on solving problems. innovation is key, and strategic partnerships should be fostered to enable and encourage that innovation. doubts about security can get in the way of consumer adoption regarding mobile payments. how can devs ensure that the information shared across apps is secure? the goal of a mobile developer in the payment space in regards to security should be to answer the question following question: “how do i gain and maintain my customer’s trust?” security is, and will continue to be, paramount in the mobile payments industry. ssl, tls, encryption and biometrics are all technologies that every mobile developer wanting to deliver payment apps should be using. proper vetting of resources that you want to consume will help to ensure that your customer’s data is kept secure. today’s customers are willing to make commerce a daily part of their mobile routine; your app’s security should always reinforce that decision. the future of mobile payments is rapidly changing. what is the one big bet that developers should be making in 2018 when it comes to developing mobile app payment solutions? 2018 will see the continued rise of the collaborative open api ecosystem. devs will be building payment journeys that consume services cross-industry and that produce new services that are published back out for others. these journeys will include emerging standards and payment apis. consuming a partner’s flexible apis to build new mobile-first user experiences will enrich the global api ecosystem. this ecosystem lifecycle will itself become a metric of health as it relates to developers and their inter-dependency on each other. thanks to matt for sharing his expertise. be sure to like us on facebook and follow us on twitter so you don’t miss any other great content from our partners.
