@ohos.app.ability.appManager (appManager)

The appManager module implements application management. You can use the APIs of this module to query whether the application is undergoing a stability test, whether the application is running on a RAM constrained device, the memory size of the application, and information about the running process.

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.

Modules to Import

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

appManager.isRunningInStabilityTest

isRunningInStabilityTest(callback: AsyncCallback<boolean>): void

Checks whether this application is undergoing a stability test. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

Atomic service API: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 11.

System capability: SystemCapability.Ability.AbilityRuntime.Core

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
callback AsyncCallback<boolean> Yes Callback used to return the API call result and the result true or false. You can perform error handling or custom processing in this callback. The value true means that the application is undergoing a stability test, and false means the opposite.
