Editor's Notes
- #9: Now that we discussed about service applications, let us look at how service applications can share their functionality with other applications. Also, we will look at how other applications will make use of the functionality exposed by service applications. One of the popular features available in most modern mobile operating systems is the ability to use the functionality offered by other applications in the system to complete a task. For example, take a common task like sending email. If every application had to write its own code for handling emails, it would be very inefficient and leads to duplication of effort. Instead, if an email application can “share” its sending functionality and make it available to other applications in the platform, then other applications can make use of only this function without having to duplicate the effort. AppControl API helps Tizen native applications to export selected functions to be used by other applications. There are two ways to use the functionality provided by other applications. Explicitly launching the other applications’ functionality by using the application ID and the operation we want to perform Implicitly launching the other applications’ functionality by specifying the operation, URI or MIME type and letting the user choose which application will complete the action. Let us explore these launch types and API further.

Instead, if an email application can “share” its sending functionality and make it available to other applications in the platform, then other applications can make use of only this function without having to duplicate the effort. AppControl API helps Tizen native applications to export selected functions to be used by other applications. There are two ways to use the functionality provided by other applications. Explicitly launching the other applications’ functionality by using the application ID and the operation we want to perform Implicitly launching the other applications’ functionality by specifying the operation, URI or MIME type and letting the user choose which application will complete the action. Let us explore these launch types and API further.
- #32: Now that we discussed about service applications, let us look at how service applications can share their functionality with other applications. Also, we will look at how other applications will make use of the functionality exposed by service applications. One of the popular features available in most modern mobile operating systems is the ability to use the functionality offered by other applications in the system to complete a task. For example, take a common task like sending email. If every application had to write its own code for handling emails, it would be very inefficient and leads to duplication of effort.

- #37: And that concludes the webinar on the Tizen Application Framework API and lifecycle. We have so far covered the basics of Tizen native mobile applications, the application lifecycle, UI and service applications. We also discussed about how one application can launch another application using AppControl API. The amount of API in the application framework is quite extensive to fit into one webinar. I hope this session would have given you enough information to help you get started with writing applications for Tizen Mobile devices. Thank you for your participation and hope to see you in another Tizen webinar.
