Application API

This API provides a way to launch other applications and access application management.

The ApplicationManager interface also provides methods to launch other applications explicitly and implicitly through the ApplicationControl interface. The ApplicationControl interface consists of an operation, URI, and MIME type and also describes an action to be performed by other applications and can carry the result from the subsequent application. The ApplicationManager interface also provides methods to handle the application lifecycle, to access the installed applications on the device, and to let an application be notified of a change in the application list.

The Application interface defines the current application's information and the basic operations for the current application such as exit or hide.

Since Tizen 2.4 the Application interface provides application event broadcasting and listening features. An application can broadcast user events to other listening applications and listen to broadcasted user events from other applications. In a future Tizen release, applications will also be able to receive pre-defined system events from the platform.

For more information on the Application features, see Application Guide.

The system tries to find the proper application to perform the requested application control, then launches the selected application.

The application control request is passed to the newly launched application and it can be accessed by the getRequestedAppControl() method. The passed application control contains the reason the application has been launched and information about what the application is doing. The launched application can send a result to the caller application with the replyResult() method of the RequestedApplicationControl interface.

The ErrorCallback method is launched with these error types:

  • NotFoundError - If the system cannot find the application that matches the specified application control.
  • SecurityError - If the application does not have the privilege to call the specified application control operation.

addAppInfoEventListener
Adds a listener for receiving any notification for changes in the list of installed applications on a device.

Deprecated. Deprecated since 2.4. Instead, let the app developers set a listener for getting notified for the changes(add/remove/update) of applications on a device using tizen.package.setPackageInfoEventListener().

long addAppInfoEventListener(ApplicationInformationEventCallback eventCallback);
             

Since: 2.0

It installs a callback that is triggered every time a change occurs on the list of installed applications on a device. This change may occur due to a new installation, uninstallation, or update of an application.

When executed, the implementation must immediately return a listener ID that identifies the listener. After returning the ID, the change detection operation is started asynchronously.

The ApplicationInformationEventCallback must be invoked every time a new application is installed, removed, or updated.

The change detection must continue until the removeAppInfoEventListener() method is called with the corresponding listener identifier.

Parameters:

  • eventCallback: The method to call when a change on the installed applications is made

Return value:

long ID of the listener that can be used to remove the listener later.

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException

    • with error type TypeMismatchError, if any input parameter is not compatible with the expected type for that parameter.

    • with error type UnknownError, if it fails to add a listener because of an unknown error.

Code example:

 var appEventCallback = {
    oninstalled: function(appInfo) {
       console.log('The application ' + appInfo.name + ' is installed');
    },
    onupdated: function(appInfo) {
       console.log('The application ' + appInfo.name + ' is updated');
    },
    onuninstalled: function(appid) {
       console.log('The application ' + appid + ' is uninstalled');
    }
 };
 var watchId = tizen.application.addAppInfoEventListener(appEventCallback);
 
removeAppInfoEventListener
Removes the listener to stop receiving notifications for changes on the list of installed applications on a device.

Deprecated. Deprecated since 2.4. Instead, you can use tizen.package.unsetPackageInfoEventListener().

void removeAppInfoEventListener(long watchId);
             

Since: 2.0

Parameters:

  • watchId: An ID that identifies the listener

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException

    • with error type NotFoundError, if the listener is not found with the specified ID.

    • with error type UnknownError, if it fails to remove a listener because of an unknown error.

Code example:

 var appEventCallback = {
   oninstalled: function(appInfo) {
     console.log('The application ' + appInfo.name + ' is installed');
   },
   onupdated: function(appInfo) {
     console.log('The application ' + appInfo.name + ' is updated');
   },
   onuninstalled: function(appid) {
     console.log('The application ' + appid + ' is uninstalled');
   }
 };
 var watchId = tizen.application.addAppInfoEventListener(appEventCallback);
 tizen.application.removeAppInfoEventListener(watchId);

exit
Exits the current application.
void exit();
             

Since: 2.0

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException

    • with error type UnknownError, if any other error occurs.

Code example:

 var app = tizen.application.getCurrentApplication();

 app.exit();
 
hide
Hides the current application.
void hide();
             

Since: 2.0

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException

    • with error type UnknownError, if any other error occurs.

Code example:

 var app = tizen.application.getCurrentApplication();

 app.hide();
 
getRequestedAppControl
Gets the requested application control passed to the current application.
RequestedApplicationControl getRequestedAppControl();
             

Since: 2.0

Gets the requested application control that contains the application control passed by the launchAppControl() method from the calling application. The requested application control contains the reason the application is launched and what it has to perform. For example, an application might be launched to display an image on a page by another application's request. In all of these cases, the application is responsible for checking the contents of the application control and responding appropriately when it is launched.

Return value:

RequestedApplicationControl The details of a requested application control

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException

    • with error type UnknownError, if the application control cannot be retrieved because of an unknown error.

Code example:

 var reqAppControl = tizen.application.getCurrentApplication().getRequestedAppControl();

 if (reqAppControl) {
     console.log("Requester AppID : " + reqAppControl.callerAppId);
 }
 
addEventListener
Adds a listener which will invoke a callback function when an event occurs.
long addEventListener(EventInfo event, EventCallback callback);
             

Since: 2.4

System events do not require an application identifier to be specified. Therefore, the appId attribute of the EventInfo dictionary should not be specified when listening for system events. If it is specified, the event to listen for will be interpreted as an user event.

Parameters:

  • event: Event which will invoke the callback
  • callback: Callback function to be invoked when the event occurs

Return value:

long Listener identifier

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException

    • with error type TypeMismatchError, if any input parameter is not compatible with the expected type.

    • with error type UnknownError in any other error case.

void broadcastEvent(EventInfo event, UserEventData data);
             

Since: 2.4

An application can listen to events from other applications. However, it can only broadcast its own events. Therefore, the appId attribute of the EventInfo dictionary must be the identifier of the application which calls this method.

Parameters:

  • event: Event to broadcast
  • data: User defined event data to broadcast

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException

    • with error type TypeMismatchError, if any input parameter is not compatible with the expected type for that parameter.

    • with error type UnknownError in any other error case.

Code example:

 var myCustomData = {
   foo: 'bar'
 };

 var app = tizen.application.getCurrentApplication();

 app.broadcastEvent({"name": "custom_user_event"}, myCustomData);
 
broadcastTrustedEvent
Broadcasts a user defined event to all the trusted listeners which are listening for this event. Applications which have the same certificate as the sending application can receive the event.
void broadcastTrustedEvent(EventInfo event, UserEventData data);
             

Since: 2.4

An application can listen to events from other applications. However, it can only broadcast its own events. Therefore, the appId attribute of the EventInfo dictionary must be the identifier of the application which calls this method.

Parameters:

  • event: Trusted event to broadcast
  • data: User defined trusted event data to broadcast

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException

    • with error type TypeMismatchError, if any input parameter is not compatible with the expected type for that parameter.

    • with error type UnknownError in any other error case.

Code example:

 var myTrustedCustomData = {
   foo: 'bar'
 };

 var app = tizen.application.getCurrentApplication();

 app.broadcastTrustedEvent({"name": "custom_user_event"}, myTrustedCustomData);

 // Let's assume that at least two applications are installed
 function onListInstalledApps(appsInfo) {
   var appId = null;

   if (appsInfo.length > 0 && app.appInfo.id != appsInfo[0].id) {
     appId = appsInfo[0].id;

Since: 2.4

System events do not require an application identifier to be specified. If one is specified, the event will be interpreted as an user event.

Dictionary members

ApplicationId appId
The unique identifier of the application which is broadcasting an event.

An application can listen to events from other applications. However, it can only broadcast its own events. Therefore, when broadcasting an event, this dictionary member must be the identifier of the application which is broadcasting the event.

System events do not require an application identifier to be specified. If one is specified, the event will be interpreted as an user event.

Since: 2.4

DOMString name
Name which describes the event.

Must only contain the ASCII characters "[A-Z][a-z][0-9]_" and may not begin with a digit. Must be at least 1 byte in length and not exceed the maximum name length of 127 bytes.
