@ohos.app.ability.Want (Want)

Want is a carrier for information transfer between objects (application components). Want can be used as a parameter of startAbility to specify a startup target and information that needs to be carried during startup, for example, bundleName and abilityName, which respectively indicate the bundle name of the target ability and the ability name in the bundle. When UIAbility A needs to start UIAbility B and transfer some data to UIAbility B, it can use Want a carrier to transfer the data.

NOTE

The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

Modules to Import

import Want from '@ohos.app.ability.Want';

Attributes

System capability: SystemCapability.Ability.AbilityBase

Example

• Basic usage: called in a UIAbility object, as shown in the example below. For details about how to obtain the context, see Obtaining the Context of UIAbility.

  import common from '@ohos.app.ability.common';
  import Want from '@ohos.app.ability.Want';

  let context = getContext(this) as common.UIAbilityContext; // UIAbilityContext
  let want: Want = {
    deviceId: '', // An empty deviceId indicates the local device.
    bundleName: 'com.example.myapplication',
    abilityName: 'FuncAbility',
    moduleName: 'entry', // moduleName is optional.
  };
  
  context.startAbility(want, (err) => {
    // Start an ability explicitly. The bundleName, abilityName, and moduleName parameters work together to uniquely identify an ability.
    console.error(`Failed to startAbility. Code: ${err.code}, message: ${err.message}`);
  });

• Currently, the following data types are supported: string, number, Boolean, object, array, and file descriptor (FD).

  • FD

    import fs from '@ohos.file.fs';        
    import common from '@ohos.app.ability.common';
    import Want from '@ohos.app.ability.Want';
    import { BusinessError } from '@ohos.base';
    
    
    let context = getContext(this) as common.UIAbilityContext; // UIAbilityContext
    
    
    let fd: number = 0;
    try {
      fd = fs.openSync('/data/storage/el2/base/haps/pic.png').fd;
    } catch(err) {
      let code = (err as BusinessError).code;
      let message = (err as BusinessError).message;
      console.error(`Failed to openSync. Code: ${code}, message: ${message}`);
    }
    let want: Want = {
      deviceId: '', // An empty deviceId indicates the local device.
      bundleName: 'com.example.myapplication',
      abilityName: 'FuncAbility',
      moduleName: 'entry', // moduleName is optional.
      parameters: {
        'keyFd': { 'type': 'FD', 'value': fd } // {'type':'FD', 'value':fd} is a fixed usage, indicating that the data is a file descriptor.
      }

    context.startAbility(want, (err) => {
      console.error(`Failed to startAbility. Code: ${err.code}, message: ${err.message}`);
    });
    

  • Usage of parameters: The following uses ability.params.backToOtherMissionStack as an example. When a ServiceExtensionAbility starts a UIAbility, redirection back across mission stacks is supported.

      // (1) UIAbility1 starts a ServiceExtensionAbility.
      import common from '@ohos.app.ability.common';
      import Want from '@ohos.app.ability.Want';
  
  
      let context = getContext(this) as common.UIAbilityContext; // UIAbilityContext
      let want: Want = {
        bundleName: 'com.example.myapplication1',
        abilityName: 'ServiceExtensionAbility',
      };
      context.startAbility(want, (err) => {
        console.error(`Failed to startAbility. Code: ${err.code}, message: ${err.message}`);
      });
  

      // (2) The ServiceExtensionAbility starts UIAbility2, carrying **"ability.params.backToOtherMissionStack": true** during the startup.
      import common from '@ohos.app.ability.common';
      import Want from '@ohos.app.ability.Want';
  
  
      let context = getContext(this) as common.ServiceExtensionContext; // ServiceExtensionContext
      let want: Want = {
        bundleName: 'com.example.myapplication2',
        abilityName: 'MainAbility',
        parameters: {
          "ability.params.backToOtherMissionStack": true,
        },
      };
  
  
      context.startAbility(want, (err) => {
        console.error(`Failed to startAbility. Code: ${err.code}, message: ${err.message}`);
      });
  

  NOTE

  In the preceding example, when the ServiceExtensionAbility starts UIAbility2, “ability.params.backToOtherMissionStack”: true is carried, indicating that redirection back across mission stacks is supported. Therefore, when you press Back on the page of UIAbility 2, the page of UIAbility1 page is displayed. However, if ability.params.backToOtherMissionStack is not carried or if “ability.params.backToOtherMissionStack”: false is carried, the page of UIAbility1 is not displayed when you press Back on the page of UIAbility 2.
