Tizen applications can communicate with each other using RPC Port APIs, which allows applications to send and receive data after a connection is established.
Note
APIs will be used in generated source files by TIDLC which is an Interface Definition Language (IDL) compiler for Tizen. TIDL is recommended rather than using RPC Port APIs directly. Usage example:
Server: tidlc -s -l dart -i Message.tidl -o MessageServer Client: tidlc -p -l dart -i Message.tidl -o MessageClient
RPC Port APIs compose of three set of APIs:
-
Proxy APIs: provide functions to connect a server, invoke functions in the server, and return the results from the server.
-
Stub APIs: provide the way to call methods of the server, which executes the methods requested by clients.
-
Parcel APIs: provide interfaces to marshall and unmarshall a parcel to/from the native type format.
-
Connection oriented communication
You must create a connection between the proxy and the stub applications to send and receive data. After the connection is disconnected, the callback for disconnected event that was registered earlier is called. Some other events such as connected and rejected events are supported as well.
-
Access control
The server application using stub APIs can register the privileges to verify whether the client that is trying to connect has proper privileges.
-
Trusted communication
The server application using stub APIs can allow connections only if the proxy is signed with the required certificate.
To use this package, add tizen_rpc_port as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.
depenedencies:
tizen_rpc_port: ^0.1.0To enable your application to use ProxyBase.connect() API:
To use the ProxyBase.connect() API, the application has to request permission by adding the following privilege to tizen-manifest.xml file:
<privileges>
<privilege>http://tizen.org/privilege/appmanager.launch</privilege>
<privilege>http://tizen.org/privilege/datasharing</privilege>
</privileges>
