I need to code the front-end development for a smart tv application that will work for Samsung, LG and Panasonic.
I read that Samsung has its own SDK for Eclipse and an emulator but I am not sure if developing it with Samsung SDK will work on the other two platforms, do you know if there is a way to develop it that works for all three platforms?
There is platform difference for all the three platforms but there is framework called the TAL framework with which you can create Universal application.
Refer to BBC talframework http://fmtvp.github.io/tal/getting-started/introducing-tal.html
but i doubt that samsung QA team may not allow it.
Mostly smart tv app are based on HTML5, Jquery, so you can build same interface for all the apps and can modify jquery according to platform(LG, Samsung, etc).
you can use this TV SDK http://www.inio.tv/ (I am member of team who develop this...) or some other multiplatform TV framework.
If you have some questions I can answer

Need some help on xamarin Platform. I understand it can be used to develop Android-base and iOS-base App on Xamarin. I have the following questions:
For Android and iOS-based app develop on Xamarin, can the app run on Android-tablet ad iOS-tablet respectively? what I need to do for both tablets respectively?
If there are new controls for android and iOS, how Xamarin will update this for development?
1) Yes they can run on Android Tablet and iPad. Your code logic would remain the same but you would need to provide for the UI since the resolutions are different.
For iOS, Xamarin makes it simple by providing for a Universal template which allows you to provide different layouts for iPhone & iPad.
For Android, there is no template as such but the process remains the same just as you would for phones with different resolutions.
2) Assuming you are talking about the default controls, they will made available in the Xamarin framework via their regular update channels. First they are in Alpha, then in Beta and once the bugs have been ironed out, they are made available to Stable channel which can then be used in the production apps safely.
I would recommend you go through their docs which are quite good and explains this whole thing in quite detail. Xamarin Docs
I’m working on an app which is required to run on multiple different platforms. The original code is written in J2ME (Java ME).
The documentation online regarding using J2ME Polish for targeting multiple platforms is scarce and difficult to follow.
Can anyone here offer advice on targeting these 3 platforms using one code base? I’m currently using NetBeans 7.3 + the J2ME Polish plugin.
I’d ideally like to support:
Android 2.1+
BlackBerry OS 5.0+
J2ME/Java ME devices
Since I want to develop for ICS I would like to buy a 4.0.3 smartphone for testing my applications. I don't want to release apps I only tested with emulators (I guess who's ever developed j2me apps knows why...).
I have to choose between the S2 and the Nexus i9250.
S2 seems to be more powerful and it is very popular but it is not the original ICS 4.0.3 style. Nexus i9250 OS is pure android ICS, also it is a bit cheaper.
Do android applications look different on the S2? Im talking about widgets like TimePickers and so on.
Sincerly,
Wolfen
EDIT:
The main question is:
Will TouchWiz affect my applications in any way?
Yes, they will.
Touchwiz and HTC Sense change the look of widgets such as buttons, date and time pickers etc. Starting from Ice Cream Sandwich, you can force the device to use the stock Android Holo theme look. But remember that Galaxy S2 comes with Gingerbread unless you update it.
In terms of Graphics, the Mali-400 GPU of the S-II beats the PowerVR SGX 540 of the Nexus...
But if you're testing certain features like NFC, you're likely to go with the Nexus.
Why not wait for the S-III? It's got the features of both.
I'm new to mobile development.
I want to know the developing sites for Symbian OS Nokia development?
I'm working in eclipse pulsar,In J2ME language. Then how to develop the Application
on S605th edition?
Download java wireless toolkit and configure with Eclipse Pulsar. Symbian 5th edition mobiles mostly Touch enabled mobiles. Look at Nokia Developer Documentation for your reference.
FYI: You can use LWUIT framework. LWUIT provides swing like features and touch enabled by default.
I am a J2SE Java developer, and i am currently trying to learn Java mobile development to create mobile applications. I have a couple of startup questions please :
Do i have to install JDK 6.0 or above, or only a J2ME SDK is quite enough ? (I don't know if the JDK includes J2ME API or not).
I have seen other Java mobile SDKs like Metismo and AlcheMo that still allow me to write Java coded mobile applications, so are these better than the J2ME SDK or there are better options ?
I will use Eclipse Pulsar + J2ME SDK in development. Do i need anything else ? And is this developing environment suitable to write Java coded mobile applications to run on most mobile types or there are better options ?
For the Emulator does J2ME SDK include an emulator ? I have seen a Free emulator called Micro Emulator so is this suitable, or there are better choices ?
If you have any advices / Tutorials for me before i start learning the language and coding my applications that would be very nice.
I suggest Netbeans better for mobile development. Even you can use Eclipse pulsar also. Netbeans already having sun java SDK. you can download the Emulator from following sites,
Sprint SDK
Sony Ericsson SDK
Samsung SDK
Motorola SDK
Nokia SDK
