Custom booting and shut down animations

Knox Configure for wearables require animation files to be in EDJ file format as opposed to the QMG file format for smart phone animation files.

Create animation file

To create an .edg animation file for Knox Configure for wearables, follow the steps below:

1. Open Tizen Studio.

2. Select the Basic UI with EDC template.

3. Open the project and the res/edje/(project_name).edc file.

4. Under the EDC editor’s settings, set your animation to the image path. The default path is set to project_name/edje/images.

5. Create the EDC file as shown in the following example:

   //project_name.edc file
   images {
       image:"/images/Tizen_power_on_01.png" COMP;
       image:"/images/Tizen_power_on_02.png" COMP;
       image:"/images/Tizen_power_on_03.png" COMP;
       image:"/images/Tizen_power_on_04.png" COMP;
       image:"/images/Tizen_power_on_05.png" COMP;
       image:"/images/Tizen_power_on_06.png" COMP;
       image:"/images/Tizen_power_on_07.png" COMP;
       image:"/images/Tizen_power_on_08.png" COMP;
       image:"/images/Tizen_power_on_09.png" COMP;
       image:"/images/Tizen_power_on_10.png" COMP;
       image:"/images/Tizen_power_on_11.png" COMP;

               program {
                   name: "poweron";
                   signal: "show";//start animation
                   action: STATE_SET "default" 0.0;//state for the image part
                   target: "poweron";//part name
                   transition: LINEAR 4;//animation type and duration in seconds
                   after: "poweron_end";
               }
               program {
                   name: "poweron_end";
                   action: SIGNAL_EMIT "end" "animation";
               }
           }
       }
   }
   

   A header file can be used to include image files.
