Don't instantiate directly instances of the UserInterfaceService class.
UserInterfaceService instances are automatically injected by Dynamics Mobile framework.
import {View, UserInterfaceService} from '$dms';
@View()
export class MyView {
constructor(
//we need to only declare the member
private UserInterfaceService: ContextService
){
}
async load(){
//we can now use the injected instance

Description
Parameters
Returns
Example
Executes UI navigation a route. If the route is "validating", the framework will call the current view's validate and commit methods. It will call then the final method and will initiate the rendering process of the view targeted by the route. This is the most frequently used method to navigate between steps in the current UI task.
- routeId: string The id of the route to which the framework shall navigate. The route id must be defined in the current task JSON definition. If the routeId is non-existing, the navigate method will fail silently - e.g. no navigation will occur as well as no error will be thrown.
void
this.UserInterfaceService.navigate('next');
Do not place code after the navigate method as the navigation transition might cause unpredictable results from the code executed after.
Description
Parameters
Returns
Example
Cancels the current UI task and navigates back to the Home task
there are no parameters
void
this.UserInterfaceService.cancel();
Do not place code after the cancel method as the navigation transition might cause unpredictable results from the code executed after.
Description
Parameters
Returns
Example
Starts UI task with given id and initiates the rendering process of the first view in the UI task.
- taskId: string the id of the task to launch
- stepId: string optional id of a step to be displayed. The first task's step will be displayed if this parameter is null or undefined
- preserveContext: boolean optional parameter to controls if the current UI task context must be preserved. The context is cleared by default if this parameter is null, undefined or ommited.
void
/starting a task with id 'MyTask'
this.UserInterfaceService.launchTask('MyTask');
//starting a task with id 'next' and displays the step with id 'step1'
this.UserInterfaceService.launchTask('MyTask', 'step1');
//starting a task with id 'next' , displays the step with id 'step2' and keeps the task context - e.g. the current task context will passed to MyTask
this.UserInterfaceService.launchTask('MyTask', 'view2', true);
Do not place code after the launchTask method as the navigation transition might cause unpredictable results from the code executed after.
Description
Parameters
Returns
