Development of Error Manager

Overview

If coding specification issues or errors exist in the code of an application, the application may encounter unexpected errors, for example, uncaught exceptions or application lifecycle timeouts, while it is running. In such a case, the application may exit unexpectedly. Error logs, however, are usually stored on users' local storage, making it inconvenient to locate faults. With the APIs provided by the errorManager module, your application will be able to report related errors and logs to your service platform for fault locating before it exits.

Available APIs

Application error management APIs are provided by the errorManager module. For details about how to import the module to use related APIs, see Development Example.

Table 1 Description of application error management APIs

When an asynchronous callback is used, the return value can be processed directly in the callback. If a promise is used, the return value can also be processed in the promise in a similar way. For details about the result codes, see [Result Codes for Unregistering an Observer](#result codes-for-unregistering-an-observer).

            }
            console.info('Succeeded in loading the content. Data: ' + JSON.stringify(data));
        });
    }

    onWindowStageDestroy() {
        // Main window is destroyed to release UI resources.
        console.log("[Demo] EntryAbility onWindowStageDestroy");
    }

    onForeground() {
        // Ability is brought to the foreground.
        console.log("[Demo] EntryAbility onForeground");
    }

    onBackground() {
        // Ability is brought back to the background.
        console.log("[Demo] EntryAbility onBackground");
    }
