Application Group: Managing Groups

This tutorial demonstrates how you can define the application launch mode and manage your applications in a group.

Warm-up

Become familiar with the Application API basics by learning about:

• Controlling the Launch Mode

  Set the launch mode when calling an application through an app control.

Controlling the Launch Mode

To launch an application in a GROUP mode, you must learn how to define the application control object and launch the application:

1. Define the application control object with the GROUP mode:

   var appControl = new tizen.ApplicationControl("http://tizen.org/appcontrol/operation/view",
                                                 null, "image/jpeg", null, [], "GROUP");
   

2. Define an array with callback functions for the tizen.application.launchAppControl() method:

   var appControlReplyCallback = 
   {
      /* Callee sent a reply  */
      onsuccess: function(data) 
      {
         console.log("onsuccess");
      },
      /* Callee returned failure */
      onfailure: function() 
      {
         console.log("onfailure");
      }
   }
   

3. Launch the application in the GROUP mode with the previously defined application control object:

   tizen.application.launchAppControl(appControl, null,
                                      function() {console.log("launch application control succeed");},
                                      function(e) {console.log("launch application control failed. reason: " + e.message);},
                                      appControlReplyCallback);
