Parameters
Type | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
SafeAppControlHandle | handle |
Properties
View SourceApplicationId
Gets and sets the application ID to explicitly launch.
Declaration
public string ApplicationId { get; set; }
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
string | (if the application ID is null for setter, it clears the previous value.) |
Examples
AppControl appControl = new AppControl();
appControl.ApplicationId = "org.tizen.calculator";
Log.Debug(LogTag, "ApplicationId: " + appControl.ApplicationId);

Category
Gets and sets the explicit category.
Declaration
public string Category { get; set; }
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
string | (if the category is null for setter, it clears the previous value.) |
ExtraData
Gets the collection of the extra data.
Declaration
public AppControl.ExtraDataCollection ExtraData { get; }
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
AppControl.ExtraDataCollection | Extra data for communication between AppControls. |
Examples

...
View Source
LaunchMode
Gets and sets the launch mode of the application.
Declaration
public AppControlLaunchMode LaunchMode { get; set; }
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
AppControlLaunchMode | Although, LaunchMode were set as AppControlLaunchMode.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 property 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. Since Tizen 3.0, if launch mode is not set in the caller application control, this property returns the AppControlLaunchMode.Single launch mode. |
Examples
AppControl appControl = new AppControl();
appControl.LaunchMode = AppControlLaunchMode.Group;
View Source
Mime
Gets and sets the explicit MIME type of the data.
Declaration
public string Mime { get; set; }
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
string | (if the mime is null for setter, it clears the previous value.) |
Examples
AppControl appControl = new AppControl();
appControl.Mime = "image/jpg";
Log.Debug(LogTag, "Mime: " + appControl.Mime);
View Source
Operation
Gets and sets the operation to be performed.
Declaration
public string Operation { get; set; }
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
string | The operation is the mandatory information for the launch request. If the operation is not specified, AppControlOperations.Default is used for the launch request. If the operation is AppControlOperations.Default, the package information is mandatory to explicitly launch the application. (if the operation is null for setter, it clears the previous value.) |
Examples
AppControl appControl = new AppControl();
appControl.Operation = AppControlOperations.Default;
Log.Debug(LogTag, "Operation: " + appControl.Operation);
View Source
SafeAppControlHandle
Gets the SafeAppControlHandle instance.
Declaration
public SafeAppControlHandle SafeAppControlHandle { get; }
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
SafeAppControlHandle |
Uri
Gets and sets the URI of the data.
Declaration
public string Uri { get; set; }
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
string | 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 property DataPath in ApplicationInfo class, 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. (if the uri is null for setter, it clears the previous value.) |
Examples
public class AppControlExample : UIApplication
{
...
protected override void OnAppControlReceived(AppControlReceivedEventArgs e)
{
...
AppControl appControl = new AppControl();
appContrl.Uri = this.ApplicationInfo.DataPath + "image.jpg";
Log.Debug(LogTag, "Set Uri: " + appControl.Uri);
}
}
Methods
View SourceGetMatchedApplicationIds(AppControl)
Retrieves all applications that can be launched to handle the given app_control request.
Declaration
public static IEnumerable<string> GetMatchedApplicationIds(AppControl control)
Parameters
Type | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
AppControl | control | The AppControl. |
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T><string> | ApplicationIds. |
Examples
IEnumerable<string> applicationIds = AppControl.GetMatchedApplicationIds(control);
if (applicationIds != null)
{
foreach (string id in applicationIds)
{
// ...
}
}
Exceptions
Type | Condition |
---|---|
System.InvalidOperationException | Thrown when failed because of an invalid parameter. |
SendLaunchRequest(AppControl, AppControlReplyCallback)
Sends the launch request.
Declaration
public static void SendLaunchRequest(AppControl launchRequest, AppControlReplyCallback replyAfterLaunching)
Parameters
Type | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
AppControl | launchRequest | The AppControl. |
AppControlReplyCallback | replyAfterLaunching | The callback function to be called when the reply is delivered. |
Remarks
The operation is mandatory information for the launch request.
If the operation is not specified, AppControlOperations.Default is used by default.
If the operation is AppControlOperations.Default, the application ID is mandatory to explicitly launch the application.
Since Tizen 2.4, the launch request of the service application over out of packages is restricted by the platform.
Also, implicit launch requests are NOT delivered to service applications since 2.4.
To launch a service application, an explicit launch request with the application ID given by property ApplicationId MUST be sent.
Examples
AppControl appControl = new AppControl();
appControl.ApplicationId = "org.tizen.calculator";
AppControl.SendLaunchRequest(appControl, (launchRequest, replyRequest, result) => {
// ...
});
Exceptions
Type | Condition |
---|---|
System.ArgumentException | Thrown when failed because of the argument is invalid. |
AppNotFoundException | Thrown when the application to run is not found. |
LaunchFailedException | Thrown when the request failed to launch the application. |
LaunchRejectedException | Thrown when the launch request is rejected. |
OutOfMemoryException | Thrown when the memory is insufficient. |
PermissionDeniedException | Thrown when the permission is denied. |
System.TimeoutException | Thrown when failed because of timeout. |
SendLaunchRequest(AppControl)
Sends the launch request.
Declaration
public static void SendLaunchRequest(AppControl launchRequest)
Parameters
Type | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
AppControl | launchRequest | The AppControl. |
Remarks
The operation is mandatory information for the launch request.
If the operation is not specified, AppControlOperations.Default is used by default.

Exceptions
Type | Condition |
---|---|
System.ArgumentNullException | Thrown when failed because of a null argument. |
System.InvalidOperationException | Thrown when failed because of an invalid operation. |

SendTerminateRequest(AppControl)
Sends the terminate request to the application that is launched by AppControl.
Declaration
public static void SendTerminateRequest(AppControl terminateRequest)
Parameters
Type | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
AppControl | terminateRequest | The AppControl. |
Remarks
You are not allowed to terminate other general applications using this API. This API can be used to terminate sub-applications, which were launched as a group mode by the caller application. Once the 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.
Examples
AppControl terminateRequest = new AppControl();
terminateRequest.ApplicationId = "org.tizen.calculator";
AppControl.SendTerminateRequest(terminateRequest);
