Tizen gear web app, launch web app with text data

Question

I have a watch face that launches another app using the code below:

var appId ="aGbGC3smHe.apptwo"; // app to be launched 

tizen.application.launch(appId); 

It works, but I want to send text from the watch face to the second app and have the second app do something with it like below

if (senttext === "hello"){
console.log("hello")
}

I saw this code which I think might be half the answer but I dont know how to deal with the text at the other end....

var appControl = new tizen.ApplicationControl("http://tizen.org/appcontrol/operation/share",null,"text/*",null ,[new tizen.ApplicationControlData("text", [message])]);

tizen.application.launchAppControl(appControl, null,function()console.log("launch application control succeed");
},function(e) {alert("ERROR")});

can I please know how to do this in Tizen Web? ... Thank you :)

Answer 1

You may try the steps below:

1. Use the code below in the Watch Application(Watch face app)

var obj = new tizen.ApplicationControlData("Paste_Your_Watch_Face_APP_ID_Here", ["Hello"]);

var obj1 = new tizen.ApplicationControl("http://tizen.org/appcontrol/operation/default",
				null,
				null,
				null,
				[obj] );
        
tizen.application.launchAppControl(obj1,
				"aGbGC3smHe.apptwo",
				function() {console.log("Launch Service succeeded"); },
				function(e) {console.log("Launch Service failed : " + e.message);},
				null);

2. Use the code below in the second app. Now, if you click on the word "Basic" it'll show the data sent from the Watch App.

    var mainPage = document.querySelector('#main');

    mainPage.addEventListener("click", function() {
        var contentText = document.querySelector('#content-text');

        var reqAppControl = tizen.application.getCurrentApplication().getRequestedAppControl();

        if (reqAppControl) {
        	var reqData = reqAppControl.appControl.data;
        	for (var i = 0; i < reqData.length; i++) {
                console.log("#" + i + " key:" + reqData[i].key);
                for (var j = 0; j < reqData[i].value.length; j++) {
                   console.log("   value#" + j + ":"+reqData[i].value[j]);
                   // Process the data
                   contentText.innerHTML = reqData[i].value[j];
                }
     	 }
            
        }
        
    });

Hope it'll help!
