@ohos.ability.featureAbility (FeatureAbility)

The FeatureAbility module provides APIs that enable user interaction. You can use the APIs to start or terminate an ability, obtain a dataAbilityHelper object, obtain the window corresponding to the current ability, and connect to or disconnect from a ServiceAbility.

NOTE

The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 6. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version. The APIs of this module can be used only in the FA model.

Constraints

The APIs of the FeatureAbility module can be called only by PageAbilities.

Modules to Import

import featureAbility from '@ohos.ability.featureAbility';

featureAbility.startAbility

startAbility(parameter: StartAbilityParameter, callback: AsyncCallback<number>): void

Starts an ability. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

Observe the following when using this API: - If an application running in the background needs to call this API to start an ability, it must have the ohos.permission.START_ABILITIES_FROM_BACKGROUND permission. - If visible of the target ability is false in cross-application scenarios, the caller must have the ohos.permission.START_INVISIBLE_ABILITY permission. - For details about the startup rules for the components in the FA model, see Component Startup Rules (FA Model).

System capability: SystemCapability.Ability.AbilityRuntime.FAModel

});

featureAbility.acquireDataAbilityHelper⁷⁺

acquireDataAbilityHelper(uri: string): DataAbilityHelper

Obtains a dataAbilityHelper object.

Observe the following when using this API: - To access a DataAbility of another application, the target application must be configured with associated startup (AssociateWakeUp set to true). - If an application running in the background needs to call this API to access a DataAbility, it must have the ohos.permission.START_ABILITIES_FROM_BACKGROUND permission. (Applications developed using the SDK of API version 8 or earlier are not restricted by this restriction when accessing the DataAbility.) - If visible of the target ability is false in cross-application scenarios, the caller must have the ohos.permission.START_INVISIBLE_ABILITY permission. - For details about the startup rules for the components in the FA model, see Component Startup Rules (FA Model).

System capability: SystemCapability.Ability.AbilityRuntime.FAModel

Parameters

Return value

Example

featureAbility.startAbilityForResult⁷⁺

startAbilityForResult(parameter: StartAbilityParameter, callback: AsyncCallback<AbilityResult>): void

Starts an ability. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result when the ability is terminated. The following situations may be possible for a started ability: - Normally, you can call terminateSelfWithResult to terminate the ability. The result is returned to the caller. - If an exception occurs, for example, the ability is killed, an exception message, in which resultCode is -1, is returned to the caller. - If different applications call this API to start an ability that uses the singleton mode and then call terminateSelfWithResult to terminate the ability, the normal result is returned to the last caller, and an exception message, in which resultCode is -1, is returned to others.

Observe the following when using this API: - If an application running in the background needs to call this API to start an ability, it must have the ohos.permission.START_ABILITIES_FROM_BACKGROUND permission. - If visible of the target ability is false in cross-application scenarios, the caller must have the ohos.permission.START_INVISIBLE_ABILITY permission. - For details about the startup rules for the components in the FA model, see Component Startup Rules (FA Model).
