DeviceProfile

Introduction

DeviceProfile is used to manage device hardware capabilities and system software features. A typical device profile includes the device type, device name, OS type, and OS version.

By allowing quick access to local and remote device profiles, DeviceProfile lays the foundation for initiating distributed services. It provides the following features:

  • Querying, inserting, and deleting local device profile information
  • Querying remote device profile information
  • Synchronizing profile information across devices
  • Subscribing to remote device profile changes

Below is the architecture of the DeviceProfile subsystem.

Constraints

  • The devices between which you want to set up a connection must be in the same LAN.
  • Before setting up a connection between two devices, you must bind the devices. For details about the binding process, see relevant descriptions in the Security subsystem readme file.

Usage

Querying Profile Information

  • Parameters of GetDeviceProfile
Name Type Mandatory Description
deviceId std::string Yes ID of the device whose profile is to be queried. A null value indicates the local device.
serviceId std::string Yes Service ID (ID of the service data record).
profile ServiceCharacteristicProfile Yes Return value.
  • Example
// Declare the return value.
ServiceCharacteristicProfile profile;
// Call GetDeviceProfile.
DistributedDeviceProfileClient::GetInstance().GetDeviceProfile(deviceId, serviceId, profile);
std::string jsonData = profile.GetCharacteristicProfileJson();
result.append("jsonData:" + jsonData + "\n");

Inserting Profile Information

  • Parameters of PutDeviceProfile
Name Type Mandatory Description
profile ServiceCharacteristicProfile Yes Profile information to insert.
  • Example
// Declare and fill in the data to insert.
ServiceCharacteristicProfile profile;
profile.SetServiceId(serviceId);
profile.SetServiceType(serviceType);
nlohmann::json j;
j["testVersion"] = "3.0.0";
j["testApiLevel"] = API_LEVEL;
profile.SetCharacteristicProfileJson(j.dump());
// Call PutDeviceProfile.
DistributedDeviceProfileClient::GetInstance().PutDeviceProfile(profile);

Deleting Profile Information

  • Parameters of DeleteDeviceProfile
Name Type Mandatory Description
serviceId std::string Yes ID of the service record to delete.
  • Example
// Declare and fill in the data to delete.
std::string serviceId = "test";
// DeleteDeviceProfile
DistributedDeviceProfileClient::GetInstance().DeleteDeviceProfile(serviceId);

Synchronizing Profile Information

  • Parameters of SyncDeviceProfile
Name Type Mandatory Description
syncOption SyncOption Yes Synchronization mode and range.
syncCb IProfileEventCallback Yes Callback used to return the synchronization result.
  • Example
// Define the synchronization mode and range.
SyncOptions syncOption;
syncOption.SetSyncMode((OHOS::DistributedKv::SyncMode)atoi(mode.c_str()));
for (const auto& deviceId : deviceIds) {
    syncOption.AddDevice(deviceId);
}
// Call SyncDeviceProfile.
DistributedDeviceProfileClient::GetInstance().SyncDeviceProfile(syncOption,
    std::make_shared<ProfileEventCallback>());

Subscribing to Profile Events (Synchronization and Change Events)

  • Parameters of SubscribeProfileEvents
Name Type Mandatory Description
subscribeInfos SubscribeInfo Yes Type of the event to subscribe to.
eventCb IProfileEventCallback Yes Callback for the subscribed event.
failedEvents ProfileEvent Yes Failure event.
  • Example
auto callback = std::make_shared<ProfileEventCallback>();
std::list<SubscribeInfo> subscribeInfos;
ExtraInfo extraInfo;
extraInfo["deviceId"] = deviceId;
extraInfo["serviceIds"] = serviceIds;

// Subscribe to the EVENT_PROFILE_CHANGED event.
SubscribeInfo info1;
info1.profileEvent = ProfileEvent::EVENT_PROFILE_CHANGED;
info1.extraInfo = std::move(extraInfo);
subscribeInfos.emplace_back(info1);

// Subscribe to the EVENT_SYNC_COMPLETED event.
SubscribeInfo info2;
info2.profileEvent = ProfileEvent::EVENT_SYNC_COMPLETED;
info2.extraInfo = std::move(extraInfo);
subscribeInfos.emplace_back(info2);

std::list<ProfileEvent> failedEvents;
// Call SubscribeProfileEvents.
DistributedDeviceProfileClient::GetInstance().SubscribeProfileEvents(subscribeInfos, callback, failedEvents);
sleep(SUBSCRIBE_SLEEP_TIME);
std::list<ProfileEvent> profileEvents;
profileEvents.emplace_back(ProfileEvent::EVENT_PROFILE_CHANGED);
failedEvents.clear();
// Cancel the subscription.
DistributedDeviceProfileClient::GetInstance().UnsubscribeProfileEvents(profileEvents, callback, failedEvents);
