Modules to Import

import runningLock from '@ohos.runningLock';

runningLock.isSupported9+

isSupported(type: RunningLockType): boolean;

Checks whether the specified type of RunningLock is supported.

System capability: SystemCapability.PowerManager.PowerManager.Core

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
type RunningLockType Yes Type of the RunningLock object.

Return value

Type Description
boolean The value true indicates that the specified type of RunningLock is supported, and the value false indicates the opposite.

Error codes

For details about the error codes, see RunningLock Error Codes.

ID Error Message
4900101 If connecting to the service failed.

Example

try {
    let isSupported = runningLock.isSupported(runningLock.RunningLockType.BACKGROUND);
