Creating a Handset

A handset is the hardware control interface (iPad, iPhone, Galaxy S, etc.) for K-Touch. A single project can use multiple handsets when there are multiple interfaces controlling the same devices.

To create a new handset:

1. Open the New Handset Wizard

• After signing in to Builder navigate to File > New Handset

2. Choose a Device Type

• Select and click either iOS or Android.
• Click Next.
  

3. Select the Device you are Using
   This selection is important since a GUI designed for a specific handset can only sync with said handset.

• Click the drop-down box to select the handset model that matches the handset you want to create.
• For an Android platform, choose from an extensive list of devices. If your exact model does not appear, select a handset that matches the resolution of your handset.
• When done, click Next.
  

4. Select a Theme
   Selecting a theme populates your image library with buttons that fit your device and follow the selected theme. You can always add additional images to your project later.

• Click the drop-down box to choose from black gloss, white gloss or brushed metal buttons.
• When done, click Next.
  

5. Import Controllable Devices
   In this step, the software asks you which devices to import into your K-Touch project.
   

• Click Device Library.
  

• To narrow down the extensive list, enter the Vendor Name and Type.
• Click Filter.
• To select the device, click the checkbox on the left.
• Click Import.

6. Click Finish
   Your new handset is created and the builder automatically populated image libraries based on the size / resolution of your handset for the button theme you chose.
   Find image libraries on the right-hand side of your screen in the Images tab.
