Dashboard: The Dashboard allows developers to monitor their applications and components for the Intel AppUp developer program from within the Eclipse environment. (The status information provided by this option is a subset of the information from My Dashboard on the Intel AppUp developer program portal.) The Dashboard allows developers to:
1. Monitor status of each application or component from initial upload until it is published
2. Monitor the number of downloads for each published application or component (free and paid)
3. Monitor overall customer rating for each application or component.
Once the plug-in is installed, you can click the Dashboard icon on the plug-in toolbar to access the Intel AppUp developer program Dashboard. Or you can select the Dashboard item from the Eclipse IntelAppup(TM) menu. If you are not currently logged into the Intel AppUp developer program portal, you will be asked to log in first. Use the same ID and password you used to join the Intel AppUp developer program.
Each row of the Dashboard table lists a product name (application or component) and product version. The Status entry shows current status of the product (from In Validation through Published) along with the date of the Status entry. The Downloads entry lists the total number of downloads for the product. Finally, the Avg. Rating entry shows the average customer rating of the product (from those customers who provided ratings). The bottom center of the Dashboard window shows current server connection status (Server Connected or Server Not Connected) and displays the version of the SDK installed. Buttons on the bottom right of the Dashboard window allow you to Refresh the window from the server and to Switch User accounts (in case you have multiple accounts). The close window icon in the upper corner of the window closes the Dashboard window.
Developer resources
Once the Plug-in is installed, you can click the Developer Resources icon on the plug-in toolbar to access the Intel AppUp developer program Developer community. The Developer Resources option allows developers to access the Intel AppUp developer program community from within the Eclipse environment. These resources include articles, blogs, forums, etc. to help developers plan, develop, and sell applications and components through the Intel AppUp center. (These same developer resources can be accessed on the Intel AppUp developer program portal.)
Project Developement
Project Development features make it easier for developers using Eclipse to create/port applications for the Intel AppUp center. These features allows developers to easily:
Create a new application project in Eclipse using the New Project option
1. Integrate the Intel AppUp Authorization code into an existing Java application using the Intel AppUp Software Development Wizard.
2. Automatically add appropriate Intel AppUp SDK libraries to a project (this is performed by both of the previous options).
3. Start and stop the Intel AppUp Software Debugger for application debugging and testing using Start and Stop buttons.
1. Create New Project: The New Project option integrates into and extends the existing Eclipse Application Wizard by including the Intel AppUp SDK Library when creating Java projects. you can create a New Intel AppUp Project by clicking on File->New->Project: The Intel AppUp Project file will create a Appup Project with the Intel AppUp SDK already integrated and the Intel AppUp SDK code implemented automatically. Below is the screenshot
2. The Intel AppUp Software Development Wizard The Intel AppUp Software Development Wizard guides developers through the process of adding the appropriate entries to an existing Java application to get it ready for testing and upload to the Intel AppUp developer program portal. Once the Plug-in is installed, you can click the Intel AppUp Software Development Wizard.
For each step, the wizard: Allows you to identify the insertion point in the source code by placing the cursor in the desired location. Inserts the code at that location as shown in the figure below. You then click Next to proceed to the next screen if you accept the current code placement. Or move the cursor to a different location to move the code insertion. Click Cancel to close the wizard; you will be presented with options for saving or not saving changes. The wizard displays the Welcome screen, as shown below.
Click Start to continue. The wizard displays the Include Header and Libraries screen
In the Eclipse editor, place your cursor inside the import section in the application. The wizard automatically inserts the Intel AppUp software Import reference, as shown in the preview screen. Click Next to accept the insertion and move to the next step. After clicking Next, the wizard displays the Authorization screen.
In the Eclipse editor, place your cursor inside the function used to initialize the application. The wizard automatically inserts the Intel AppUp software Authorization code, as shown in the preview screen. Click Next to accept the insertion and move to the next step.After clicking Next, the wizard displays the Cleanup screen.
In the Eclipse editor, place your cursor inside the function used to shut down the application. The wizard automatically inserts the Intel AppUp software Cleanup code, as shown in the preview screen.Click Finish to accept the insertion and close the wizard.
Advanced User Information
An alternate method of inserting Intel AppUp software SDK code into your application is to use the right mouse button instead of the wizard. Place the cursor in a desired insertion point in your source code, then click the right mouse button to display a menu of options, as shown below.
Four menu options are provided, as follows:
1. Add Intel AppUp software Packages – same as Packages and library code insertion performed by the wizard.
2. Add Authorization Code for Intel AppUp software – same as Authorization code insertion performed by the wizard.
3. Add Cleanup Code for Intel AppUp software – same as shutdown/cleanup code insertion performed by the wizard.
4. Get Application GUID for Intel AppUp software – Requests an Application GUID from the Intel AppUp developer program portal and automatically inserts it into the source code.
If you are not currently logged into the Intel AppUp developer program portal, you will be asked to log in before interacting with the community. To receive a GUID, you will need to provide information that uniquely identifies your application. Inserting an Application GUID is typically performed after testing with a Debug GUID is complete.
Start/Stop Intel AppUp Software Debugger: The Intel AppUp Software Debugger emulates the Application Services of the Consumer Client. This allows the SDK API calls for an application to be tested in the development environment. With the Intel AppUp SDK Plug-in 1.1 for Eclipse 3.5.2 installed and the Intel AppUp SDK code included, you can use the Eclipse debugger and Intel AppUp Software Debugger to debug your application. Below is the screenshot.
Click on “Start the Intel Appup Software Debugger”. You will see the below window:
Debug your application. If the Intel AppUp SDK code is included you will see the below window
Get and Swap In a Production ID.You can get the Production GUID using the plugin.Right click on the ApplicationId.DEBUG_ID and click on "Get Intel Appup Application GUID".
Create an Installation Package: Create a single JAR file that includes the Intel AppUp SDK library jar file, application jar file(s), and an application manifest file. The Intel AppUp SDK Software Packaging Utility can help creating these Java runnable jar packages. For a list of packaging requirements and tips on packaging applications for Java, refer to http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/article/intel-appup-java-packaging-utility
Pre-Validate the Installation Package: The Intel AppUp SDK Software Validation Utility can help validate Java runnable jar packages. Please refer to refer to http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/article/intel-appup-java-packaging-utility to get complete information.
Submit the Application: Submit your application package by following the steps on the Intel AppUp developer program portal. You can then monitor status of the application via the My Dashboard page on the portal. Alternately, with the Intel AppUp SDK Plug-in for Eclipse software installed, you can use the Dashboard feature to monitor status.
