mobileGetLaunchData

Type

function

Summary

Returns an array containing information set by the launcher of the application.

Syntax

get mobileGetLaunchData()

Description

Use the mobileGetLaunchData function to get the application launch parameters. The returned array will contain the information that is set by the launching application. This can be used to perform specific actions supported by an application on the provided data.

note

On Android, custom Intent filters can be specified in the manifest to allow an application to perform actions for other applications

When the application is launched to handle one of these actions, its launch Intent can be queried to determine what action was requested, and the data to use to fulfil that request.

Examples

put mobileGetLaunchData() into tLaunchData

constant kActionView = "android.intent.action.VIEW"

put mobileGetLaunchData() into tLaunchData

if tLaunchData is an array and tLaunchData["action"] is kActionView then
   -- view content specified in tLaunchData["data"]
else
   -- launched as main application
end if
