How do you wrap your head around Bixby Programming?


grettings.

I am new to this forum so if I made any mistakes please inform me.

So I am here today because I can't wrap my head around the bixby developer documentation. I am trying to build an capsule but every time I try to learn specifics about a subject, I get either distracted learning the complementary features or lost thinking how as specific features plays its role in an app. The documentation mainly focuses on details and technical jargon for the feature but not its role.

For e.g I am trying to build an action (FindTheQuotes) but as I am referencing to dev docs for bixby language keys (https://bixbydevelopers.com/dev/docs/reference/type/action). I see there is a new key recently added delegate-to it tells you more about it in details but it dosen't mention how that piece fits into the big puzzle. Hence, I was asking the question: "How do you make sense of bixby as whole in general?" and if you have a visual graph for me to look at then that would be wonderful.


Solution

  • Welcome to SO. As George said, it is a very broad question. However just to share my experience, I started with https://bixbydevelopers.com/dev/docs/get-started/overview and then tried few of the sample Capsules available to understand concepts first hand. As the code runs on remote server, the IDE Debug console helped me a lot in understanding the flow and system behavior.

    The sample capsule collection on github has several examples to look for inspiration or imitation :). https://github.com/bixbydevelopers/capsule-samples-collection
