Introduction

This API allows developers to initiate the AllShare Framework (ASF) which provides convergence services such as media sharing.

The ASF is a component which SAMSUNG devices contains to support it as a service.

Type Definition

ServiceState

Specifies the state of ASF service.

Code example

enum ServiceState {
    "DISABLED",
    "ENABLED",
    "UNKNOWN"
};
  • DISABLED: The service state is disabled
  • ENABLED: The service state is enabled
  • UNKNOWN: The unknown service state

Interfaces

WebAPIsAllShareObject

Defines what is instantiated in the AllShareObject.:

Code example

[NoInterfaceObject] interface WebAPIsAllShareObject {
    readonly attribute AllShare allshare;
};

Code example

WebAPIs implements WebAPIsAllShareObject;

ATTRIBUTES

readonly AllShare allshare

The object will provide interfaces for connecting to services and obtain All Share devices.

This attribute is readonly.

AllShare

The AllShare root API.

Code example

[NoInterfaceObject] interface AllShare { };

AllShare interfaces will be always available within WebAPIs object in the ECMAScript hierarchy (window.webapis.allshare).

ServiceConnectorObject

Defines what is instantiated in the webapis object.

Code example

[NoInterfaceObject] interface ServiceConnectorObject {
    readonly attribute ServiceConnector serviceconnector;
};

Code example

AllShare implements ServiceConnectorObject;

There will be a webapis.allshare.serviceconnector object that allows accessing the ASF service.

ATTRIBUTES

readonly ServiceConnector serviceconnector

The object will provide interfaces for connecting to ASF service.

This attribute is readonly.

ServiceProviderCreateSuccessCallback

Provides a callback when a ServiceProvider object is created successfully.

Code example

[Callback=FunctionOnly, NoInterfaceObject] interface ServiceProviderCreateSuccessCallback {
    void onsuccess(in ServiceProvider serviceProvider);
};

This callback interface specifies a success callback with ServiceProvider object as an input argument. It is used in an asynchronous operation ServiceConnector.createServiceProvider(...).

Signature:  

Code example

void onsuccess(in ServiceProvider serviceProvider);
Parameters:  
  • serviceProvider
    • Optional: No.
    • Nullable: No.
    • Type: ServiceProvider.
    • Description: the ServiceConnector object which is successfully created

ServiceProviderErrorCallback

Provides a error callback when the operation of a ServiceProvider object is failed.

Code example

[Callback=FunctionOnly, NoInterfaceObject] interface ServiceProviderErrorCallback {
    void onerror(in WebAPIError error, in ServiceState state);
};

METHODS

onerror()
 

Invoked when a ServiceProvider operation is failed.

Signature:  

Code example

void onerror(in WebAPIError error, in ServiceState state);
Parameters:  
  • error
    • Optional: No.
    • Nullable: No.
    • Type: WebAPIError.

ServiceConnector

Provides the connection to the AllShare Framework(ASF) service.

Code example

[NoInterfaceObject] interface ServiceConnector {
void createServiceProvider(in ServiceProviderCreateSuccessCallback successCallback,
                           in optional ServiceProviderErrorCallback errorCallback) raises(WebAPIException);
void deleteServiceProvider(in SuccessCallback successCallback,
                           in optional ServiceProviderErrorCallback errorCallback) raises(WebAPIException);
ServiceProvider getServiceProvider() raises(WebAPIException);
};

This interface provides interfaces for creating and deleting ASF service provider.

METHODS

createServiceProvider()

Signature:  

Code example

void createServiceProvider(in ServiceProviderCreateSuccessCallback successCallback,
                          in optional ServiceProviderErrorCallback errorCallback);

Asynchronous function that connects application to AllShare framework, and returns ServiceProvider object in success callback.

If this API is invoked several times, an exception with error type AlreadyConnectedError is synchronously thrown.

The error callback is launched with these error types:

  • NotConnectedServiceError: if the application doesn’t connect to allshare framework.
  • NetworkNotAvailableError: if the network is not available.
  • TimeOutError: If the request is timeout.
  • UnknownError: In any other error case.
  • InvalidValuesError: If any input parameter contains invalid values.
  • FrameworkNotInstalledError: If framework is not installed.
Parameters:  
  • successCallback
    • Optional: No.
    • Nullable: No.
    • Type: ServiceProviderCreateSuccessCallback.
    • Description: callback function called if the request is successful
  • errorCallback
    • Optional: Yes.
    • Nullable: No.
    • Type: ServiceProviderErrorCallback.
    • Description: callback function called if the request if failed.
Exceptions:  
  • WebAPIException:
    • with error type UnknownError in any other case.
    • with error type NotSupportedError, if this feature is not supported.
    • with error type SecurityError, if this functionality is not allowed.
    • with error type TypeMismatchError, if any input parameter is not compatible with the expected type for that parameter.
    • with error type AlreadyConnectedError, if a connection with the allshare service alreday exists.

Code example

// Define success callback for creating ServiceProvider
function sProviderCallback(provider) {
    console.log("The service provider has obtained");
}
// Define error callback for creating ServiceProvider
function eProviderCallback(error, state) {
    console.log(error.name);
    console.log("Current ASF service state: " + state);
}
// Try to create ServiceProvider object.
try {
    webapis.allshare.serviceconnector.createServiceProvider(sProviderCallback, eProviderCallback);
} catch(e) {
    console.log(e.message);
}
deleteServiceProvider()
 

Deletes ServiceProvider object.

Signature:  

Code example

void deleteServiceProvider(in SuccessCallback successCallback,
                          in optional ServiceProviderErrorCallback errorCallback);

Asynchronous function, that disconnects application from AllShare framework

The error callback is launched with these error types:

  • FrameworkNotInstalledError: If framework is not installed.
  • NotConnectedServiceError: if the application doesn’t connect to allshare framework.
  • NotFoundError: if the serviceProvider does not exist.
  • NetworkNotAvailableError: if the network is not available.

Exceptions:  
  • WebAPIException:
  • with error type UnknownError in anyother case.
  • with error type NotSupportedError, if this feature is not supported.
  • with error type SecurityError, if this functionality is not allowed.
  • with error type TypeMismatchError, if any input parameter is not compatible with the expected type for that parameter.

Code example

// ServiceProvider object - it is assumed that you have created serviceProvider.
var serviceProvider;
// Define a success callback for deleting ServiceProvider
function sProviderDeleteCallback() {
    console.log("The ASF service provider has deleted properly.");
}
// Define an error callback for creating ServiceProvider
function eProviderDeleteCallback(error, state) {
    console.log(error.name);
    console.log("The current ASF service state: " + state);
}
// Try to delete ServiceProvider object.
try {
    webapis.allshare.serviceconnector.deleteServiceProvider(sProviderDeleteCallback, eProviderDeleteCallback);
} catch(e) {
    console.log(e.message);
}
getServiceProvider()

  • WebAPIException:
    • with error type UnknownError in any other case.
    • with error type NotSupportedError, if this feature is not supported.
    • with error type SecurityError, if this functionality is not allowed.

Code example

try {
  // it is assumed that createServiceProvider() is successfully invoked
  var serviceProvider = webapis.allshare.serviceconnector.getServiceProvider();
  if (serviceProvider == null) {
    console.log("service provider had not been created properly");
  }
} catch(e) {
    console.log(e.message);
}
