Services

This section describes the available application, device, and cloud service methods. Each service is briefly described, repeating some of the information from Chapters 8 and 9, with a listing of the service’s available methods, arguments, and responses.

All services are accessed through:

Mojo.Service.Request(serviceName, {method:methodName, 
parameters:{}, onSuccess:{}, onFailure:{}})

Each service entry includes:

  • The serviceName in the form of a string such as 'palm://com.palm.name'

  • A description of each method, with the methodName and parameters properties

  • The contents of the response object, which is provided as an argument in the callbacks to either the onSuccess or onFailure functions
