Samsung Mobile SDK and Samsung Smart App Challenge 2013 for GALAXY Note

Hi, Habr!

The first release candidate for the Samsung Mobile SDK for Android, which includes 10 independent packages, saw the light. These tools can be used together or separately. They allow you to speed up and facilitate the development of Android applications. Use them for free, and also participate in the second part of the Samsung Smart App Challenge 2013 contest for new GALAXY Note devices.



So, what does the new Samsung Mobile SDK consist of?
')
Chord - provides a simple and fast way to exchange messages and files between devices on the same subnet in real time. Added support for secure channels.

Gesture - allows you to recognize custom gestures.

Image Filter - allows you to process images, use filters and alpha channels.

Look - allows you to use the special features of the Android View System in Samsung phones.

Media Control - provides sharing features, such as movies, music and photos between network devices.

Motion - allows you to recognize the movement of the device using motion sensors.

MultiWindow - allows you to simultaneously run multiple applications with resizable windows.

Pen - provides functions for developing applications using handwriting, fingers, and various types of virtual brushes.

Professional Audio - provides functions for developing applications using virtual musical instruments, and allows these applications to share sound with each other.

Visual View provides various animation tools and effects in Android applications based on OpenGL Es.

On the Samsung Mobile SDK, it looks like this:



Installation is quite simple and is done directly in Eclipse. After installation, the packages, examples and documentation will be placed in the ~/samsung-sdk folder.

Later we will talk more about using some packages.

To take part in the competition, you need to develop an application for GALAXY Note 3 or GALAXY Note 10.1 (version 2014), using the Pen or Look package.

Good luck!
