Tizen Native API  5.5
IoTCon

The IoTCon API provides functions for IoT connectivity.

Required Header

#include <iotcon.h>

Overview

The iotcon module provides various features based on IoTivity project.
The IoTivity project is sponsored by the Open Connectivity Foundation a group of industry leaders who will be developing a standard specification and certification program to address these challenges.
See http://iotivity.org and http://openconnectivity.org for more information.

Resource

A Resource is a component in a server that can be viewed and controlled by another client.
There are different resource types, for example a temperature sensor, a light controller etc.

Resource registration

Registering a resource requires a URI and handler to process requests.
The URI path should be rooted. IoTCon will construct the fully qualified URI by adding the URI authority to the provided URI path.
For example, given a service running on port 54321 in a device at IP address 192.168.1.1, if the application registers a resource with a URI path "/light/1",
the resulting fully qualified URI is "oic://192.168.1.1:54321/light/1", which uniquely identifies the resource's location.
Note : Only one resource can be registered at a given URI.

Example :

#include <iotcon.h>
...
static void _request_handler(iotcon_resource_h resource, iotcon_request_h request, void *user_data)
{
    int ret;
    iotcon_request_type_e type;

    if (IOTCON_ERROR_NONE != ret)
        return;

    if (IOTCON_REQUEST_GET == type) {
        ret = iotcon_response_create(request, &response);
        if (IOTCON_ERROR_NONE != ret)
            return;

        ret = iotcon_response_set_result(response, IOTCON_RESPONSE_OK);
        if (IOTCON_ERROR_NONE != ret) {

Finding a resource.

This operation returns all resources of given type on the network service.
This operation is sent via multicast to all services.
If you specify filter resource type in the query, only exact matches will be responded.

Example :

#include <iotcon.h>
static void _on_response_get(iotcon_remote_resource_h resource, iotcon_error_e err,
        iotcon_request_type_e request_type, iotcon_response_h response, void *user_data)
{
    // handle get from response
}
...
static bool _found_resource(iotcon_remote_resource_h resource, iotcon_error_e result,
        void *user_data)
{
    int ret;
    char *resource_uri_path;
    char *resource_host;
    char *device_id;
    iotcon_query_h query;
    iotcon_resource_types_h resource_types;
    iotcon_resource_interfaces_h resource_interfaces;
    iotcon_remote_resource_h resource_clone = NULL;

    if (IOTCON_ERROR_NONE != result)
        return IOTCON_FUNC_STOP;

    ret = iotcon_remote_resource_get_uri_path(resource, &resource_uri_path);
    if (IOTCON_ERROR_NONE != ret)
        return IOTCON_FUNC_CONTINUE;

    ret = iotcon_remote_resource_get_device_id(resource, &device_id);
    if (IOTCON_ERROR_NONE != ret)
        return IOTCON_FUNC_CONTINUE;

    const char *type = "org.tizen.door";

    ret = iotcon_find_resource(IOTCON_MULTICAST_ADDRESS, IOTCON_CONNECTIVITY_IPV4, type,
            false, _found_resource, NULL);
    if (IOTCON_ERROR_NONE != ret)
        return;
}

Observing resource

This operation fetches and registers as an observer for the value of simple specific resource.
An observable resource can handle any number of observers.
If the server responds with a success code, the registration is considered successful.
Notifications from the server to the client may be confirmable or non-confirmable.
If the client returns a RST message, the observation registration should be dropped immediately.
If the client fails to acknowledge a number of confirmable requests, the server should assume that the client has abandoned the observation and drop the registration.
If the observed resource is removed, the server sends a NOTFOUND status to all observers.
If an observed resource fails to notify a client before the max-age of a resource value update, the client should attempt to re-register the observation.

Example (Server side) :

#include <iotcon.h>
...
static iotcon_resource_h _door_handle;
static iotcon_observers_h _observers;
...
static void _request_handler(iotcon_request_h request, void *user_data)

        if (NULL == _observers) {
