Tizen Native API
Package Manager Request

Package Manager Request API. It is responsible for installing, uninstalling, moving packages, and storing their information.

Required Header

#include <package_manager.h>

Overview

The Package Manager API provides functions to install and uninstall the package, and also provides event listening function. The package_manager_request_install() method is used to asynchronously install a package. Similarly, the package_manager_request_uninstall() and package_manager_request_move() methods are used to asynchronously uninstall a package. The callback function is called when the progress of the request changes. Use package_manager_request_event_cb() to listen to package installation related events.
