Content API

The Content API provides functionality to discover content such as images, videos, music, or others.

It is possible to search for specific content using filters. The API also supports setting the attributes of specific content.

For more information on the Content features, see Stored Content Management Guide.

Playlist functionality has been added in Tizen 2.3.

Since 2.0

Methods

update

Updates attributes of content in the content database synchronously.

    void update(Content content);

Since 2.0

When an application has changed some attributes of the content, this method allows writing it back to the content database.

Privilege level: public

Privilege: http://tizen.org/privilege/content.write

Remark : The editableAttributes in the Content interface indicates the attributes that can be changed. This API does not support updating the metadata of a file.

Parameters:

  • content: The content to update.

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException

    • with error type TypeMismatchError, if any input parameter is not compatible with the expected type for that parameter.

    • with error type InvalidValuesError, if any of the input parameters contain an invalid value.

    • with error type SecurityError, if the application does not have the privilege to call this method.

    • with error type UnknownError, in any other error case.

Code example:


     // Assume the content is a Content object as a result of find method.
         // Check the description is editable, and then set a description.
         if (content.editableAttributes.indexOf("description") >= 0) {
             content.description = "Sample content";
         }
         tizen.content.update(content);

updateBatch

Updates a batch of content attributes in the content database asynchronously.

    void updateBatch(Content[] contents, optional SuccessCallback? successCallback, optional ErrorCallback? errorCallback);

Since 2.0

When an application has changed any attributes in the array of content, this method allows writing them back to the content database.

The errorCallback is launched with these error types:

  • InvalidValuesError: If any of the input parameters contain an invalid value.
  • UnknownError: In any other error case.

Privilege level: public

Privilege: http://tizen.org/privilege/content.write

Remark : The editableAttributes in the Content interface indicates the attributes that can be changed. This API does not support updating the metadata of a file.

Parameters:

  • contents: Array of content to change.
  • successCallback [optional] [nullable]: Callback method to be invoked when attributes have been changed.
  • errorCallback [optional] [nullable]: Callback method to be invoked when an error has occurred.

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException

    • with error type TypeMismatchError, if the input parameter is not compatible with the expected type for that parameter.

    • with error type SecurityError, if the application does not have the privilege to call this method.

Code example:


     // The following example increases rating of an content by 1
        
         function errorCB(err) {
             console.log( 'The following error occurred: ' +  err.name);
         }
        
         function successCB() {
             console.log('Attributes set successfully');
         }
        
         // Assume the content is a Content object as a result of find method.
         // Check the rating is editable, and then increase by 1.
         if (content.editableAttributes.indexOf("rating") >= 0) {
             content.rating++;
         }
         tizen.content.updateBatch([content], successCB, errorCB);

getDirectories

Gets a list of content directories.


 getDirectories(ContentDirectoryArraySuccessCallback successCallback, optional ErrorCallback? errorCallback);

Since 2.0

This method returns (via callback) a list of content directory objects. To obtain a list of contents in a specific directory, use the find() method with the directory ID.

The errorCallback is launched with this error type:

  • UnknownError: In any other error case.

Parameters:

  • successCallback: Callback method to be invoked when content directories have been retrieved successfully.
  • errorCallback [optional] [nullable]: Callback method to be invoked when an error has occurred.

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException
    • with error type TypeMismatchError, if the input parameter is not compatible with the expected type for that parameter.

Code example:


     // The following example retrieves content directories in the storage.
        
         function errorCB(err) {
             console.log( 'The following error occurred: ' +  err.name);
         }
        
         function printDirectory(directory, index, directories) {
             console.log('directoryURI: ' + directory.directoryURI + ' Title: ' + directory.title);
         }
         function getDirectoriesCB(directories) {
             directories.forEach(printDirectory);
         }
        
         tizen.content.getDirectories(getDirectoriesCB, errorCB);

Finds contents that satisfy the conditions set by a filter.


 find(ContentArraySuccessCallback successCallback, optional ErrorCallback? errorCallback, optional ContentDirectoryId? directoryId, optional AbstractFilter? filter, optional SortMode? sortMode, optional unsigned long? count, optional unsigned long? offset);

Since 2.0

This method allows searching based on a supplied filter. For more details on AbstractFilter, see the Tizen module. The filter allows precise searching such as "return all songs by artist U2, ordered by name".

The errorCallback is launched with these error types:

  • InvalidValuesError: If any of the input parameters contain an invalid value.
  • UnknownError: In any other error case.

Privilege level: public

Privilege: http://tizen.org/privilege/content.read

Parameters:

  • successCallback: Callback method to be invoked when content has been retrieved.
  • errorCallback [optional] [nullable]: Callback method to be invoked when an error has occurred.
  • directoryId [optional] [nullable]: Directory ID that is used to select content to retrieve in a specified directory.
  • filter [optional] [nullable]: Filter that is used to select content to retrieve.
  • sortMode [optional] [nullable]: Used to determine the sort order in which the contents are returned.
  • count [optional] [nullable]: Maximum amount of content to return. If count is negative, InvalidValuesError is reported through the errorCallback.
  • offset [optional] [nullable]: Offset of the result set. If offset is a negative number, InvalidValuesError is reported through the errorCallback.

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException

    • with error type TypeMismatchError, if the input parameter is not compatible with the expected type for that parameter.

    • with error type SecurityError, if the application does not have the privilege to call this method.

         var count = 100;
         var offset = 0;
         var sortMode = new tizen.SortMode("name", "ASC");
         var artistFilter = new tizen.AttributeFilter("artists", "EXACTLY", "U2");
         var albumFilter = new tizen.AttributeFilter("album", "EXACTLY", "The Joshua Tree");
         var filter = new tizen.CompositeFilter("INTERSECTION", [albumFilter, artistFilter]);
        
         function errorCB(err) {
             console.log( 'The following error occurred: ' +  err.name);
         }
        
         function printContent(content, index, contents) {
             console.log('Name: ' + content.name + ' Title: ' + content.title + 'URL: ' + content.contentURI + 'MIME: ' + content.mimeType);
         }
        
         function findCB(contents) {
             console.log('The Joshua Tree by U2:');
             contents.forEach(printContent);
             // Increase the offset as much as the count and then find content again.
             if (contents.length === count) {
                 offset += count;
                 tizen.content.find(findCB, errorCB, null, filter, sortMode, count, offset);
             }
         }
        
         tizen.content.find(findCB, errorCB, null, filter, sortMode, count, offset);
