Overview

This code snippet demonstrates how to list all installed applications using the Application Manager Platform Service for Flash Lite, supported from S60 5th Edition onwards.

Source

// Import Platform Service Interface
import com.nokia.lib.Service;

// Heading of the application
heading_txt.text = "List of applications";
 
// Create a new Service object which has Application manager data
var appManager = new Service("Service.AppManager", "IAppManager");
 
// Define input parameters 
var inParams = {Type:"Application"};
 
// Define result value
var outParams = appManager.GetList(inParams);
if (outParams.ErrorCode == 0) {
	// go through all applications and trace captions to the textarea 
	var outList = outParams.ReturnValue;
	var outputEntry = null;
	do {
	  outputEntry = outList.next();
	  if (null != outputEntry) {
		  var caption = outputEntry.Caption;
		  text_txt.text += "- "+caption+"\r";		  
	  } else {
		break;
	  }
	} while (true);
} else {
	var errorId = outParams.ErrorCode;
	text_txt.text += "Error: "+errorId;
}
