# AGL Application Framework

This page summarizes all materials related to AGL Application Framework

## Source Code

The current code of AGL App-Framework is stored on AGL Code Repository. It's divided in the following projects:

* [src/app-framework-main](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=src%2Fapp-framework-main.git;a=summary) Main services
* [src/app-framework-binder](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=src%2Fapp-framework-binder.git;a=summary): Binder Daemon
* [src/app-framework-demo](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=src%2Fapp-framework-demo.git;a=summary) Demos

## Building AGL with Application Framework support

The Application Framework can be added easily to an AGL build using the feature 'agl-appfw-smack'.

Typically, the following command can be called to initialize AGL build:

    # meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -m porter agl-appfw-smack agl-demo agl-devel
    ...
    # bitbake agl-demo-platform

## Documentation

Technical documentation is maintained in the source code and should be browsable with the [upcoming AGL documentation system](https://github.com/automotive-grade-linux/docs-agl)

Temporarily, a static documentation has been made in PDF format:

* [Introduction to Application Framework](http://iot.bzh/download/public/2016/appfw/01_Introduction-to-AppFW-for-AGL-1.0.pdf)
* [AppFW Core Documentation](http://iot.bzh/download/public/2016/appfw/02_Documentation-AppFW-Core-2.0.pdf)
* [Privileges Management](http://iot.bzh/download/public/2016/appfw/03-AGL-AppFW-Privileges-Management.pdf)

Some extra guides are also available in PDF format:

* [Build your 1st AGL Application](http://iot.bzh/download/public/2016/sdk/AGL-Devkit-Build-your-1st-AGL-Application.pdf)
* Applications Templates are available on [github:iotbzh/app-framework-templates](https://github.com/iotbzh/app-framework-templates)
