Updating Widget Content Through the router or call Event

On the widget page, the postCardAction API can be used to trigger a router or call event to start a UIAbility, which then updates the widget content. The following is an example of this widget update mode.

NOTE

This topic describes development for dynamic widgets. For static widgets, see FormLink.

Updating Widget Content Through the router Event

On the widget page, register the onClick event callback of the button and call the postCardAction API in the callback to trigger the router event to start the UIAbility.

  let storage = new LocalStorage();
  @Entry(storage)
  @Component
  struct WidgetCard {
    @LocalStorageProp('detail') detail: string = 'init';
  
    build() {
      Column() {
        Button ('Redirect')
          .margin(20)
          .onClick(() => {
            console.info('postCardAction to EntryAbility');
            postCardAction(this, {
              'action': 'router',
              'abilityName': 'EntryAbility', // Only the UIAbility of the current application is allowed.
              'params': {
                'detail': 'RouterFromCard'
              }
            });
          })
        Text(`${this.detail}`)
      }
      .width('100%')
      .height('100%')
    }
  }

In the onCreate() or onNewWant() lifecycle callback of the UIAbility, use the input parameter want to obtain the ID (formID) and other information of the widget, and then call the updateForm API to update the widget.

  import UIAbility from '@ohos.app.ability.UIAbility';
  import formBindingData from '@ohos.app.form.formBindingData';
  import formProvider from '@ohos.app.form.formProvider';
  import formInfo from '@ohos.app.form.formInfo';
  import AbilityConstant from '@ohos.app.ability.AbilityConstant';
  import Want from '@ohos.app.ability.Want';
  import Base from '@ohos.base'
  
  export default class EntryAbility extends UIAbility {
    // If the UIAbility is started for the first time, onCreate is triggered after the router event is received.
    onCreate(want: Want, launchParam: AbilityConstant.LaunchParam) {
      this.handleFormRouterEvent(want);
    }

    handleFormRouterEvent(want: Want) {
      console.info('Want:' + JSON.stringify(want));
      if (want.parameters && want.parameters[formInfo.FormParam.IDENTITY_KEY] !== undefined) {
        let curFormId = JSON.stringify(want.parameters[formInfo.FormParam.IDENTITY_KEY]);
        let message: string = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(want.parameters.params)).detail;
        console.info(`UpdateForm formId: ${curFormId}, message: ${message}`);
        let formData: Record<string, string> = {
          "detail": message + ': UIAbility.', // It matches the widget layout.
        };
        let formMsg = formBindingData.createFormBindingData(formData)
        formProvider.updateForm(curFormId, formMsg).then((data) => {
          console.info('updateForm success.' + JSON.stringify(data));
        }).catch((error: Base.BusinessError) => {
          console.error('updateForm failed:' + JSON.stringify(error));
        })
      }
    }
    // If the UIAbility is running in the background, onNewWant is triggered after the router event is received.
    onNewWant(want: Want, launchParam: AbilityConstant.LaunchParam) {
      console.info('onNewWant Want:' + JSON.stringify(want));
      if (want.parameters && want.parameters[formInfo.FormParam.IDENTITY_KEY] !== undefined) {
        let curFormId = JSON.stringify(want.parameters[formInfo.FormParam.IDENTITY_KEY]);
        let message: string = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(want.parameters.params)).detail;
        console.info(`UpdateForm formId: ${curFormId}, message: ${message}`);
        let formData: Record<string, string> = {
          "detail": message +': onNewWant UIAbility.', // Matches the widget layout.
        };
        let formMsg = formBindingData.createFormBindingData(formData)
        formProvider.updateForm(curFormId, formMsg).then((data) => {
          console.info('updateForm success.' + JSON.stringify(data));
        }).catch((error: Base.BusinessError) => {
          console.error('updateForm failed:' + JSON.stringify(error));
        })
      }
    }
    
    ...
  }

Updating Widget Content Through the call Event

When using the call event of the postCardAction API, the value of formId must be updated in the onAddForm callback of the FormExtensionAbility.

   import formBindingData from '@ohos.app.form.formBindingData';
   import FormExtensionAbility from '@ohos.app.form.FormExtensionAbility';
   import Want from '@ohos.app.ability.Want';
   
   export default class EntryFormAbility extends FormExtensionAbility {
    onAddForm(want: Want) {
      let dataObj1 = new Map<string, string>();
      if (want.parameters && want.parameters["ohos.extra.param.key.form_identity"] != undefined) {
        let formId: string = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(want.parameters["ohos.extra.param.key.form_identity"]));
        dataObj1.set("formId", formId);
      }
      let obj1 = formBindingData.createFormBindingData(dataObj1);
      return obj1;
    }
    ...
   };

On the widget page, register the onClick event callback of the button and call the postCardAction API in the callback to trigger the call event to start the UIAbility.

  let storage = new LocalStorage();
  @Entry(storage)
  @Component
  struct WidgetCard {
    @LocalStorageProp('detail') detail: string = 'init';
    @LocalStorageProp('formId') formId: string = '0';
  
    build() {
      Column() {
        Button ('Start in Background')
          .margin('20%')
          .onClick(() => {
            console.info('postCardAction to EntryAbility');
            postCardAction(this, {
              'action': 'call',
              'abilityName': 'EntryAbility', // Only the UIAbility of the current application is allowed.
              'params': {
                'method': 'funA',
                'formId': this.formId,
                'detail': 'CallFromCard'
              }
            });
          })
        Text(`${this.detail}`).margin('20%')
      }
      .width('100%')
      .height('100%')
    }
  }

Listen for the method required by the call event in the onCreate callback of the UIAbility, and then call the updateForm API in the corresponding method to update the widget.

  import UIAbility from '@ohos.app.ability.UIAbility';
  import formBindingData from '@ohos.app.form.formBindingData';
  import formProvider from '@ohos.app.form.formProvider';
  import Want from '@ohos.app.ability.Want';
  import Base from '@ohos.base'
  import rpc from '@ohos.rpc';
  import AbilityConstant from '@ohos.app.ability.AbilityConstant';
  
  const MSG_SEND_METHOD: string = 'funA';

  class MyParcelable implements rpc.Parcelable {
    num: number;
    str: string;
    constructor(num: number, str: string) {
      this.num = num;
      this.str = str;
    }
    marshalling(messageSequence: rpc.MessageSequence): boolean {
      messageSequence.writeInt(this.num);
      messageSequence.writeString(this.str);
      return true;
    }
    unmarshalling(messageSequence: rpc.MessageSequence): boolean {
      this.num = messageSequence.readInt();
      this.str = messageSequence.readString();
      return true;
    }
  }

  // After the call event is received, the method listened for by the callee is triggered.
  let FunACall = (data: rpc.MessageSequence) => {
    // Obtain all parameters transferred in the call event.
    let params: Record<string, string> = JSON.parse(data.readString())
    if (params.formId !== undefined) {
      let curFormId: string = params.formId;
      let message: string = params.detail;
      console.info(`UpdateForm formId: ${curFormId}, message: ${message}`);
      let formData: Record<string, string> = {
        "detail": message
      };
      let formMsg: formBindingData.FormBindingData = formBindingData.createFormBindingData(formData);
      formProvider.updateForm(curFormId, formMsg).then((data) => {
        console.info('updateForm success.' + JSON.stringify(data));
      }).catch((error: Base.BusinessError) => {
        console.error('updateForm failed:' + JSON.stringify(error));
      })
    }
    return new MyParcelable(1, 'aaa');
  }

  export default class EntryAbility extends UIAbility {
    // If the UIAbility is started for the first time, onCreate is triggered after the call event is received.
    onCreate(want: Want, launchParam: AbilityConstant.LaunchParam) {
      console.info('Want:' + JSON.stringify(want));
      try {
        // Listen for the method required by the call event.
        this.callee.on(MSG_SEND_METHOD, FunACall);
      } catch (error) {
        console.info(`${MSG_SEND_METHOD} register failed with error ${JSON.stringify(error as Base.BusinessError)}`)
      }
    }
  }
