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

Accounts

palm://com.palm.accounts/crud

The Accounts service provides an interface for interacting with the accounts system. To use the Synergy applications, you must provide an account ID as a parameter; this service provides access to those IDs.

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
