In Tizen applications, you can use portrait, landscape, and reversed landscape view modes.

NOTE: In Tizen applications, the reversed landscape view mode is available, however, avoid using it.

The portrait view is the default screen orientation for most application designs. For special purposes, such as games or a camera, you can specify the landscape view as the default. However, we recommend supporting both views with your application and optimizing the screen design layout for both.

The Tizen platform features a range of UI components. The purpose and functionality of your application determine the components and layout you select.

In this section, we use available Tizen UI components to demonstrate the most basic application structure.

NOTE: For applications that require a special layout (such as camera, video player, and games), the following guidelines cannot be always applied.

For applications with a structure, display a list of items and only show details when an item is selected.

Design your application to offer visually impaired users an accessible, consistent, and enjoyable user experience.

Interactions on touch devices normally execute functions immediately, so you do not need to create focus functionality for an object on an additional screen.

However, you can create additional focus functionality to increase device usability in situations that involve the use of a hardware input device, such as:

In Settings, users can view and customize various functions that an application offers to avoid repeatition and to ensure consistency when executing a function. By offering the right setting at the right time, you can enrich the user experience of your application.
