Minicontrol

Minicontrol is small application view that can be shown on the quick panel or lock screen.

This feature is supported in mobile applications only.

The main features of the Minicontrol API include:

• Creating a minicontrol

  You can create minicontrols using the Minicontrol provider API, which requires the http://tizen.org/privilege/minicontrol.provider privilege:

  • To create a minicontrol, use the minicontrol_create_window() function, which returns an Evas_Object of the minicontrol window.
  • To send a request, use the minicontrol_send_event() function to get a minicontrol handle and set the details.
• Hosting minicontrols

  You can host minicontrols, such as lock screens, on your application using the Minicontrol viewer API:

  • To host minicontrols, use the minicontrol_viewer_set_event_cb() function for listening to the request from minicontrol providers.
  • When you get the creation request from a minicontrol provider, use the minicontrol_viewer_add() function to add the minicontrol on your application.
