tizen_app_control

Tizen application control APIs. Used to launch apps on a Tizen device.

Usage

To use this package, add tizen_app_control as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

dependencies:
  tizen_app_control: ^0.2.3

Sending a launch request

To send an explicit launch request, create an AppControl instance with an application ID as an argument.

import 'package:tizen_app_control/tizen_app_control.dart';

var request = AppControl(appId: 'com.example.app_id');
await request.sendLaunchRequest();

To send an implicit launch request, create an AppControl instance and specify necessary conditions, such as operation, URI, and MIME type. For example, if you want to share a text message via SMS on a watch device, set operation to http://tizen.org/appcontrol/operation/share_text as follows.

import 'package:tizen_app_control/tizen_app_control.dart';

await AppControl(
  operation: 'http://tizen.org/appcontrol/operation/share_text',
  uri: 'sms:',
  launchMode: LaunchMode.group,
  extraData: {
    'http://tizen.org/appcontrol/data/text': 'Some text',
  },
).sendLaunchRequest();

For detailed information on Tizen application controls, see Tizen Docs: Application Controls. For a list of common operation types and examples, see Tizen Docs: Common Application Controls. Operation and data constants, such as http://tizen.org/appcontrol/operation/view, are defined in the native API references.

Receiving a launch request

You can subscribe to incoming application controls using AppControl.onAppControl.

import 'package:tizen_app_control/tizen_app_control.dart';

var subscription = AppControl.onAppControl.listen((request) async {
  if (request.shouldReply) {
    var reply = AppControl();
    await request.reply(reply, AppControlReplyResult.succeeded);
  }
});
...
await subscription.cancel();
