ServiceExtensionContext

The ServiceExtensionContext module, inherited from ExtensionContext, provides context for ServiceExtensionAbilities.

You can use the APIs of this module to start, terminate, connect, and disconnect abilities.

NOTE

• The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
• The APIs of this module can be used only in the stage model.

Usage

Before using the ServiceExtensionContext module, you must define a child class that inherits from ServiceExtensionAbility.

  import ServiceExtensionAbility from '@ohos.app.ability.ServiceExtensionAbility';

  let context = undefined;
  class MainAbility extends ServiceExtensionAbility {
    onCreate() {
      context = this.context; // Obtain a ServiceExtensionContext instance.
    }
  }

ServiceExtensionContext.startAbility

startAbility(want: Want, callback: AsyncCallback<void>): void;

Starts an ability. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.Ability.AbilityRuntime.Core

System API: This is a system API and cannot be called by third-party applications.

Parameters
