Function Documentation

int feedback_deinitialize ( void  )

Deinitializes feedback API.

This function must be called when feedback functions are no longer needed.

Since :
3.0
Remarks:
If you don't want to use feedback anymore, you need to deinitialize with this function. And for controlling haptic device, the privilege should be set to, http://tizen.org/privilege/haptic. If you don't have the haptic privilege, this function deinitializes only sound. It does not return any error in this case.
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NONESuccessful
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZEDNot initialized
Precondition:
feedback_initialize()
See also:
feedback_initialize()
int feedback_initialize ( void  )

Initializes feedback API.

Since :
3.0
Remarks:
If this function is not called in advance, other function will return FEEDBACK_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED. And for controlling haptic device, the privilege should be set to, http://tizen.org/privilege/haptic. If you don't have the haptic privilege, this function initializes only sound. It does not return any error in this case.
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NONESuccessful
Postcondition:
feedback_deinitialize()
See also:
feedback_deinitialize()
int feedback_is_supported_pattern ( feedback_type_e  type,
feedback_pattern_e  pattern,
bool *  status 
)

Checks if the pattern is supported.

This function can be used to check if a specific pattern is supported.

Since :
3.0
Parameters:
[in]typeThe pattern type
[in]patternThe pre-defined pattern
[out]statusTrue means the pattern is supported, otherwise not supported
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NONESuccessful
FEEDBACK_ERROR_OPERATION_FAILEDOperation not permitted
FEEDBACK_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERInvalid parameter
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTEDNot supported device
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZEDNot initialized
Precondition:
feedback_initialize()
int feedback_play ( feedback_pattern_e  pattern)

Plays various types of reactions that are pre-defined.

This function can be used to react to pre-defined actions.
It play various types of system pre-defined media or vibration patterns.

Since :
3.0
Remarks:
Currently, there are two types of reactions: sound and vibration.
Depending on the settings, some types cannot operate. For example, when set to silent mode, the device doesn't produce any sound. If to play one of the devices is successful, this function regards as success. And for controlling haptic device, the privilege should be set to, http://tizen.org/privilege/haptic. If you don't have the haptic privilege, it only works sound operation. It does not return any error in this case.
Parameters:
[in]patternThe pre-defined pattern
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NONESuccessful
FEEDBACK_ERROR_OPERATION_FAILEDOperation not permitted
FEEDBACK_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERInvalid parameter
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTEDNot supported device
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZEDNot initialized
Precondition:
feedback_initialize()
int feedback_play_type ( feedback_type_e  type,
feedback_pattern_e  pattern 
)

Plays specific type of reactions that are pre-defined.

This function can be used to react to pre-defined actions.
It play specific type of system pre-defined pattern.

Since :
3.0
Remarks:
Currently, there are two types of reactions: sound and vibration.
Depending on the settings, some types cannot operate. For example, when set to silent mode, the device doesn't produce any sound. And for controlling haptic device, the privilege should be set to, http://tizen.org/privilege/haptic. If you don't have the haptic privilege, it returns FEEDBACK_ERROR_PERMISSION_DENIED error.
Parameters:
[in]typeThe pattern type
[in]patternThe pre-defined pattern
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NONESuccessful
FEEDBACK_ERROR_OPERATION_FAILEDOperation not permitted
FEEDBACK_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERInvalid parameter
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTEDNot supported device
FEEDBACK_ERROR_PERMISSION_DENIEDPermission denied
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZEDNot initialized
Precondition:
feedback_initialize()
int feedback_stop ( void  )

Stops various types of reactions.

This function can be used to stop reaction to pre-defined actions.
It stops system pre-defined vibration patterns.

Since :
3.0
Remarks:
This function does not support to stop media sound actions.
In this case, it will return FEEDBACK_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED error. And for controlling haptic device, the privilege should be set to, http://tizen.org/privilege/haptic. If you don't have the haptic privilege, it only works sound operation. It does not return any error in this case.
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NONESuccessful
FEEDBACK_ERROR_OPERATION_FAILEDOperation not permitted
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTEDNot supported device
FEEDBACK_ERROR_PERMISSION_DENIEDPermission denied
FEEDBACK_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZEDNot initialized
