A developer oriented introduction to the Nokia X Software platform, with a focus on the technical basis. First, a short introduction to the platform is made, with a comparison to Android-based platforms. Then a business case is presented, explaining the appeal and opportunity presented by the platform. The second half of the session will focus on the Microsoft services provided on the platform (Notifications, In-app payment and HERE Maps), including their APIs and details on how to enable or port applications to use them.

Plus we give youeasy touse online andoffline tools tocheck your applications within seconds.
*For most apps, depending on application complexity and number of used APIs that need porting

Nokia X Analyser engine is verified with 10K Android apps with 99% accuracy!
Nokia X Analyser scans the standard Android
application packages (apk files) for the usage of
• Unsupported Google service APIs ( maps,
notifications and in-app billing)
• NFC
• Minimum API version required
Based on the above APIs’ usage, the application is
flagged as compatible or not.
Failure cases are surfaced to developers with pointers
to fix using SDK plugins

22. Nokia X One APK approach
• The Google and Nokia services can coexist in the applications
• Make sure you fail gracefully!
• You can load and use the one that is present at runtime
• A one time investment in terms of developer effort
• Allows submission of same APK to Google Play and the Nokia Store
• Address more users with a single release
• Simultaneous release of same version (QA permitting) in all stores

23. Nokia X One APK approach – common manifest
<permission android:name="(your_app_pkg).permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="(your_app_pkg).permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.nokia.pushnotifications.permission.RECEIVE" />

24. Nokia X One APK approach – Runtime detection
try {
PushRegistrar.checkDevice(this);
// (continue with Nokia Notifications logic)
} catch (UnsupportedOperationException e1) {
try {
GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this);
// (continue with GCM logic)
} catch (UnsupportedOperationException e2) {
// neither notification service is available
}
}

25. Nokia X Polish and UI considerations
Adopting Android UI to Nokia X UI requires tests, functional testing

26. Nokia X UI Menu

emulator
• FREE of charge
• ~150 devices in the service, from low to high end
