Remarks:

Since Tizen 2.4, if all added paths with this key are under the caller application's data path which can be obtained by calling app_get_data_path() function, those will be shared to the callee application. Framework will grant a temporary permission to the callee application for those files and revoke it when the callee application is terminated. Paths should be regular files. The callee application can just read them. Note that the callee application doesn't have read permission of the directory that is obtained by caller's app_get_data_path(), you should open the file path with read only mode directly. For example, access() call to the file path will return error because access() needs the read permission of the directory. The callee application can call open() with O_RDONLY mode for the passed file path, because framework grants read permission to the passed file path.

app_control_reply_cb()

app_control_enable_app_started_result_event()

Sends the terminate request to the application that is launched by app_control. This API is only effective for some applications that are provided by default for handling platform default app_controls. You are not allowed to terminate other general applications using this API.

Remarks:

Since Tizen 2.4, this API can be used to terminate sub-applications which were launched as group mode by caller application. Once callee application is being terminated by this API, other applications which were launched by callee application as group mode will be terminated as well.

Since :

2.3

Parameters:

[in]

app_control

The app_control handle

Returns:

0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Return values:

APP_CONTROL_ERROR_NONE	Successful
APP_CONTROL_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter
APP_CONTROL_ERROR_PERMISSION_DENIED	Permission denied

app_control_send_launch_request()

app_control_set_launch_mode()

Sets the ID of the application to explicitly launch.

Since :

2.3

Parameters:

[in]	app_control	The app_control handle
[in]	app_id	The ID of the application to explicitly launch (if the app_id is NULL, it clears the previous value)

Returns:

0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Return values:

APP_CONTROL_ERROR_NONE	Successful
APP_CONTROL_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter
APP_CONTROL_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY	Out of memory

app_control_get_app_id()

Sets the explicit category.

Since :

2.3

Parameters:

[in]	app_control	The app_control handle
[in]	category	The explicit category (if the category is NULL, it clears the previous value)

Returns:

0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Return values:

APP_CONTROL_ERROR_NONE	Successful
APP_CONTROL_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter

See also:

app_control_get_category()

Sets the launch mode of the application.

This function allows callee application to be launched as group or single mode.

Remarks:

Although launch_mode were set as APP_CONTROL_LAUNCH_MODE_GROUP, callee application would be launched as single mode if the manifest file of callee application defined the launch mode as "single". This function can just set the preference of caller application to launch an application.

Sub-applications which were launched as group mode always have own process.

Since :

2.4

Parameters:

[in]	app_control	The app_control handle
[in]	mode	The launch mode of app

Returns:

0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Return values:

APP_CONTROL_ERROR_NONE	Successful
APP_CONTROL_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter

app_control_set_launch_mode()

app_control_launch_mode_e

Sets the explicit MIME type of the data.

Since :

2.3

Parameters:

[in]	app_control	The app_control handle
[in]	mime	The explicit MIME type of the data this app_control is operating on (if the mime is NULL, it clears the previous value)

Returns:

0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Return values:

APP_CONTROL_ERROR_NONE	Successful
APP_CONTROL_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter

See also:

app_control_get_mime()

Sets the operation to be performed.

The operation is the mandatory information for the launch request. If the operation is not specified, APP_CONTROL_OPERATION_DEFAULT is used for the launch request. If the operation is APP_CONTROL_OPERATION_DEFAULT, the package information is mandatory to explicitly launch the application.

Since :

2.3

Parameters:

[in]	app_control	The app_control handle
[in]	operation	The operation to be performed (if the operation is NULL, it clears the previous value)

Returns:

0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Return values:

APP_CONTROL_ERROR_NONE	Successful
APP_CONTROL_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter

Sets the URI of the data.

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

Since Tizen 2.4, if the parameter 'uri' is started with 'file://' and it is a regular file in this application's data path which can be obtained by calling app_get_data_path() function, it will be shared to the callee application. Framework will grant a temporary permission to the callee application for this file and revoke it when the callee application is terminated. The callee application can just read it.

Parameters:

[in]	app_control	The app_control handle
[in]	uri	The URI of the data this app_control is operating on (if the uri is NULL, it clears the previous value)

Returns:

0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Return values:

APP_CONTROL_ERROR_NONE	Successful
APP_CONTROL_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter
