Description:
The openApplication method enables a widget to launch an S60 mobile application in the stand-alone mode.
Syntax:
[void] window.widget.openApplication(HexNumber Uid, String param)
or
[void] widget.openApplication(HexNumber Uid, String param)
Arguments:
Uid:
A hexadecimal number that specifies the UID of the S60 application to be activated. See the table below for example application UIDs.
param:
A text string defining a possible argument string that is accepted by the S60 application to be activated. The arguments vary between applications. For example, when defined for the Web Browser for S60 application (UID: 0x10008D39), the parameter "4"+"<Space>"+"<url>" tells the browser to open with content from a specific URL. The parameter "5" launches the browser with the Start page open. You can also use an empty string with any application, which results in launching the specified application with default behavior.
Return value:
This method does not return a value.
Remarks:
For security reasons, a widget cannot open another widget by using this method.
Example code:
// function launches the S60 Profiles application widget.openApplication(0x100058F8, "");
