Live Tiles API

Live Tiles enable you to represent an application as a tile on the home screen of your device. You can launch an application using a Live Tile. Besides the primary live tiles, you can also create a secondary live tile to pin specific content of an app and deep-link to specific page of the app.

Using the Live Tiles API, you can configure the primary and secondary tiles for an application. The Live Tiles API uses kony.application namespace and the following API elements.

Function	Description
kony.application.setAppTile	Sets the data for an application tile. If the user chooses to pin the application tile, the data set is visible.
kony.application.setSecondaryTile	Enables you to create or update data for a secondary tile for an application.
kony.application.removeSecondaryTile	Enables you to remove and unpin a specified secondary tile which was created earlier.

 

Set the data for a primary app tile by using the kony.application.setAppTile function. To pin a frequently used area of an application, create a secondary app tile by using the kony.application.setSecondaryTile function. If you want to remove and unpin a secondary application tile, use the kony.application.removeSecondaryTile function.
