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 the 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 the caller's app_get_data_path(), you should open the file path with the 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 the O_RDONLY mode for the passed file path, because framework grants the read permission to the passed file path.

Typedef Documentation

typedef void(* app_control_action_cb)(const char *action, app_control_h app_control, void *user_data)

Called when another application sends a launch request to the application.

Before calling app_control_cb() function, this callback function is called.

Since :
5.5
Remarks:
After this callback function returns, the handle of the app_control is released. Therefore, if you want to use the handle after returning this callback function, you MUST copy it by using app_control_clone() function.
The action must not be deallocated by the application. The platform frees the string when the app_control action handle is removed.
Parameters:
[in]actionThe name of the app_control action
[in]app_controlThe handle of the app_control
[in]user_dataThe user data passed from the callback registration function
See also:
app_control_add_action_handler()

typedef struct app_control_action_s* app_control_action_h

The application control action handle.

Since :
5.5
typedef bool(* app_control_app_matched_cb)(app_control_h app_control, const char *appid, void *user_data)

Called once for each matched application that can be launched to handle the given app_control request.

Parameters:
[in]app_controlThe app_control handle
[in]appidThe name of the application that can handle the launch request of the given app_control
[in]user_dataThe user data passed from the foreach function
Returns:
true to continue with the next iteration of the loop, otherwise false to break out of the loop
Precondition:
app_control_foreach_app_matched() will invoke this callback.
See also:
app_control_foreach_app_matched()
typedef bool(* app_control_extra_data_cb)(app_control_h app_control, const char *key, void *user_data)

Called to retrieve the extra data contained in the app_control.

Since :
2.3
Remarks:
The key must not be deallocated by the application.
Parameters:
[in]app_controlThe app_control handle
[in]keyThe key of the value contained in the app_control
[in]user_dataThe user data passed from the foreach function
Returns:
true to continue with the next iteration of the loop, otherwise false to break out of the loop

Remarks:
The request and reply must not be deallocated by the application.
Parameters:
[in]requestThe app_control handle of the launch request that has been sent
[in]replyThe app_control handle in which the results of the callee are contained
[in]resultThe result code of the launch request
[in]user_dataThe user data passed from the callback registration function

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

int app_control_send_terminate_request ( app_control_h  app_control)

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.

Since :
2.3
Remarks:
Since Tizen 2.4, this API can be used to terminate sub-applications which were launched as group mode by the caller application. Once callee application is being terminated by this API, other applications which were launched by the callee application as a group mode will be terminated as well.
Parameters:
[in]app_controlThe app_control handle
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

const char *  component_id 
)

Sets the ID of the component.

Since :

Remarks:
If the component_id is null, the component_id set previously will be removed.
The component_id is declared by the component-based app, and it is unique globally.
Parameters:
[in]app_controlThe app_control handle
[in]component_idThe ID of the component which will receive the app_control

int app_control_set_launch_mode ( app_control_h  app_control,
app_control_launch_mode_e  mode 
)

Sets the launch mode of the application.

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

Since :
2.4
Remarks:
Although launch_mode were set as APP_CONTROL_LAUNCH_MODE_GROUP, the callee application would be launched as a single mode if the manifest file of callee application defined the launch mode as "single". This function can just set the preference of the caller application to launch an application.
Sub-applications which were launched as a group mode always have own process.
Parameters:
[in]app_controlThe app_control handle
[in]modeThe launch mode of the application
