DataWedge Configuration

113

extra_data: String "com.symbol.datawedge.api.SWITCH_TO_PROFILE"

<profile name>: The Profile name to switch to as a string (case-sensitive).

Return Values

None.

Error and debug messages will be logged to the Android logging system which then can be viewed and filtered by

the logcat command. You can use logcat from an ADB shell to view the log messages, e.g.

Error messages will be logged for invalid actions, parameters and failures (e.g. Profile not found or associated with

an application).

Example

Comments

This API function will have no effect if the specified Profile does not exist or is already associated with an

application.

DataWedge has a one-to-one relationship between Profiles and activities; a Profile can be associated only with a

single activity. When a Profile is first created, it's not associated with any application, and will not be activated until

associated. This makes it possible to create multiple unassociated Profiles.

This API function activates such Profiles.

For example, Profile A is unassociated and Profile B is associated with activity B. If activity A is launched and uses

SwitchToProfile function to switch to Profile A, then Profile A will be active ehenever activity A is in the

foreground. When activity B comes to the foreground, DataWedge will automatically switch to Profile B.

When activity A returns to the foreground, the app must use

SwitchToProfile again to switch back to Profile A.

This would be done in the

onResume method of activity A.

$ adb logcat -s DWAPI

// define action and data strings

String switchToProfile = "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION";

String extraData = "com.symbol.datawedge.api.SWITCH_TO_PROFILE";

public void onResume() {

super.onResume();

// create the intent

Intent i = new Intent();

// set the action to perform

i.setAction(switchToProfile);

// add additional info

i.putExtra(extraData, "myProfile");

// send the intent to DataWedge

this.sendBroadcast(i);
