The Application Management service APIs help to control and obtain information about applications.

IPC interfaces binding

All functions of this API are provided by the tafUpdateSvc service.

The following example shows how to bind to the application management service.

bindings:
{
    clientExe.clientComponent.taf_appMgmt -> tafUpdateSvc.taf_appMgmt
}

Application Control

taf_appMgmt_Start() starts an application.
taf_appMgmt_Stop() stops an application.
taf_appMgmt_Uninstall() uninstalls an application.

Application Information Query

Users can get application information through the app list using the following functions.

taf_appMgmt_CreateAppList() / taf_appMgmt_DeleteAppList() creates and deletes app list references.
taf_appMgmt_GetFirstApp() / taf_appMgmt_GetNextApp() get the first or next app reference.
taf_appMgmt_GetAppDetails() gets the operator details.
taf_appMgmt_GetState() gets the current application state.

The following example illustrates how to obtain application information.

// Create list.
listRef = taf_appMgmt_CreateAppList();
// Traverse list
appRef = taf_appMgmt_GetFirstApp(listRef);
while (appRef != nullptr) {
    taf_appMgmt_GetAppDetails(appRef, appInfoPtr);
    // Do something with appInfoPtr.
    appRef = taf_appMgmt_GetNextApp(listRef);
}
// Delete list.
taf_appMgmt_DeleteAppList(listRef);
