How to hide application's icon in tizen mobile?

I need to hide an Tizen application from being accessed from other Tizen apps. The idea is to launch this app only from my second app.  
I know we can do it in Android, however I was not able to find anything related to it in Tizen.

Therefore my question is: 
Is it possible to hide an application from being accessed from other tizen apps or launched directly by the user?
If so, please share the steps in order to accomplish it.

Thanks,

Fabio Souza

Hi,

I am not sure that this is exactly what you are looking for but you can take a look at the trusted application control:

Hi Alex,

Thank you for you reply, but I really need to hide the application's icon so that the user can not access my app from tizen apps directly.

Hi Fabio,

If you app doesn't need UI then you can try to implement it as service application:

I believe Web Service App would not be the way to accomplish what Fabio needs, because he still needs the app to be "launchable" from inside his own app. In other words, the app does have UI associated.

What he needs is basically to have an inner app launchable from an outer app, which contains the first one. And, also, not have the first app displayed on Tizen's app panel.

Alex, 

Actually I need UI for this purpose.

Thank you for your support.

Hi I know post is too old. I am facing the same issue with web-app .

In tizen native app we can achive the same by chnaging nodisplay and taskmanage attributes in mainfest file like this.

 

<ui-application appid="xyz" exec="/opt/usr/apps/xyz/bin/xyz" nodisplay="true" multiple="false" type="capp" taskmanage="false" indicatordisplay="false" effectimage-type="edj-default" portrait-effectimage="/opt/usr/apps/xyz/shared/res/xyz.edj">

Is there is similar anything or workaround for tizen web-app too.
