2. Interfaces

2.1. TVInfoManagerObject

The TVInfoManagerObject interface defines what is instantiated in the tizen object.

[NoInterfaceObject] interface TVInfoManagerObject {
      readonly attribute TVInfoManager tvinfo;
};

Tizen implements TVInfoManagerObject;

Since: 2.4

There is a tizen.tvinfo object that allows accessing the functionality of the TVInfo API.

2.2. TVInfoManager

The TVInfoManager interface provides the functionalities to get setting values provided by Tizen TV.

[NoInterfaceObject] interface TVInfoManager {
  CaptionValue getCaptionValue(CaptionInfoKey key) raises(WebAPIException);
  long addCaptionValueChangeListener(CaptionInfoKey key, CaptionValueChangeCallback callback) raises(WebAPIException);
  void removeCaptionValueChangeListener(long watchId) raises(WebAPIException);
};

Since: 2.4

Methods

getCaptionValue

Method returns the value for corresponding caption menu key.

CaptionValue getCaptionValue(CaptionInfoKey key);

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  • key

Return value:

CaptionValue value for given caption menu key

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException
    • with error type TypeMismatchError, if the input parameter is not compatible with the expected type.
    • with error type UnknownError in any other error case.

Code example:

console.log("Caption menu turned on: " + (tizen.tvinfo.getCaptionValue("CAPTION_ONOFF_KEY") === "CAPTION_ON"));

addCaptionValueChangeListener

Adds a listener to be called when given caption menu key value changes.

long addCaptionValueChangeListener(CaptionInfoKey key, CaptionValueChangeCallback callback);

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  • key: Caption menu key which changes will be observed by this listener
  • callback: Callback method to be invoked when the value changes

Return value:

long Subscription identifier

Exceptions:

  • WebAPIException
    • with error type TypeMismatchError, if the input parameter is not compatible with the expected type.
    • with error type InvalidValuesError, if any of the input parameters contain an invalid value.
    • with error type UnknownError in any other error case.

Code example:

var id = tizen.tvinfo.addCaptionValueChangeListener("CAPTION_ONOFF_KEY", function(value) {
    console.log("Caption menu state changed: " + value);
});

removeCaptionValueChangeListener

Removes a listener.

removeCaptionValueChangeListener(long watchId);

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  • watchId: Identifier of the subscription returned by addCaptionValueChangeListener()

Exceptions:

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

Code example:

var id = tizen.tvinfo.addCaptionValueChangeListener("CAPTION_ONOFF_KEY", function() {});
tizen.tvinfo.removeCaptionValueChangeListener(id);

2.3. CaptionValueChangeCallback

The CaptionValueChangeCallback interface specifies event callback for getting notified when event occurs.

[Callback=FunctionOnly, NoInterfaceObject] interface CaptionValueChangeCallback {
    void onchanged(CaptionInfoKey key, CaptionValue value);
};

Since: 2.4

Methods

onchanged

Called when the caption menu value changes.

void onchanged(CaptionInfoKey key, CaptionValue value);

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  • key: Watched key.
  • value: New value of watched key.
