6. Select your device screen size, as presented in Fig. 6. You must select the resolution based on the device that you are intended to emulate. Samsung Wave has 480×800 resolution. The form will be created based on this size.

7. Fill the basic settings… as shown in Fig. 7

8. Select the configurations in which you want to deploy, as presented in Fig. 8. I suggest you to select all the options. Let’s better understand each one:
Simulator-Debug: Emulate your app on windows;
Target-Debug: Allows you to debug your app in the device;
Target-Release: Compiles your code to be released in Samsung Apps (AppLog is disabled in this option).

9. The next screen presents to you a project summary (Fig. 9)

10. Now, you’re ready to start developing. Your project was created, as shown in Fig. 10

If you want to run your default app, you must select your build option, as presented ing Fig. 11. To emulate in Windows, choose Simulator-Debug option.

Now, you can run your app, as shown in Fig. 12

In this example, we’ve selected 240×400 resolution, so we’ve got a Samsung Scotia skin while emulating (Fig. 13). Note that the FORM was created in 240×400 folder.
If you need to edit the Form you must always edit the Form in Resource view. Don’t try to edit the xml file (you can get serious problems).

You can see some emulation options, such as Event Injector, right clicking over the device skin, as shown in Fig 14.

Now, a very important tip for you.
Interested in bada sample codes?
In the IDE, select the “bada SDK Samples” view (Fig. 15 and Fig. 16). You’ll see a lot of sample codes.
Double-click and the project will be available into your workspace. Enjoy the codes
