Overview

Registers the application's interface with SDL®, declaring properties of the registration, including the messaging interface version, the app name, etc. The mobile application must establish its interface registration with SDL® before any other interaction with SDL® can take place. The registration lasts until it is terminated either by the application calling the UnregisterAppInterface method, or by SDL® sending an OnAppInterfaceUnregistered notification, or by loss of the underlying transport connection, or closing of the underlying message transmission protocol RPC session

Until the application receives its first OnHMIStatus Notification, its HMI Status is assumed to be: com.smartdevicelink.proxy.rpc.enums.HMILevel=NONE, com.smartdevicelink.proxy.rpc.enums.AudioStreamingState =NOT_AUDIBLE, com.smartdevicelink.proxy.rpc.enums.SystemContext=MAIN

All SDL® resources which the application creates or uses (e.g. Choice Sets, Command Menu, etc.) are associated with the application's interface registration. Therefore, when the interface registration ends, the SDL® resources associated with the application are disposed of. As a result, even though the application itself may continue to run on its host platform (e.g. mobile device) after the interface registration terminates, the application will not be able to use the SDL® HMI without first establishing a new interface registration and re-creating its required SDL® resources. That is, SDL® resources created by (or on behalf of) an application do not persist beyond the life-span of the interface registration

Resources and settings whose lifespan is tied to the duration of an application's interface registration:
  • Choice Sets
  • Command Menus (built by successive calls to AddCommand )
  • Media clock timer display value
  • Media clock timer display value
  • Media clock timer display value

The autoActivateID is used to grant an application the HMILevel and AudioStreamingState it had when it last disconnected

Notes: The autoActivateID parameter, and associated behavior, is currently ignored by SDL®

When first calling this method (i.e. first time within life cycle of mobile app), an autoActivateID should not be included. After successfully registering an interface, an autoActivateID is returned to the mobile application for it to use in subsequent connections. If the connection between SDL® and the mobile application is lost, such as the vehicle is turned off while the application is running, the autoActivateID can then be passed in another call to RegisterAppInterface to re-acquire com.smartdevicelink.proxy.rpc.enums.HMILevel=FULL

If the application intends to stream audio it is important to indicate so via the isMediaApp parameter. When set to true, audio will reliably stream without any configuration required by the user. When not set, audio may stream, depending on what the user might have manually configured as a media source on SDL®

There is no time limit for how long the autoActivateID is "valid" (i.e. would confer focus and opt-in)

HMILevel is not defined before registering

Parameter List

Name Type Description Reg. Notes Version
MsgVersion MsgVersion Declares what version of the SDL interface the application expects to use with SDL Y To be compatible, app msg major version number must be less than or equal to SDL major version number.

If msg versions are incompatible, app has 20 seconds to attempt successful RegisterAppInterface (w.r.t. msg version) on underlying protocol session, else will be terminated. Major version number is a compatibility declaration. Minor version number indicates minor functional variations (e.g. features, capabilities, bug fixes) when sent from SDL to app (in RegisterAppInterface response).

However, the minor version number sent from the app to SDL (in RegisterAppInterface request) is ignored by SDL.		 SmartDeviceLink 1.0

isMediaApplication Boolean Indicates that the application will be streaming audio to SDL (via A2DP) that is audible outside of the BT media source. Y SmartDeviceLink 1.0
languageDesired Language An enumeration indicating what language the application intends to use for user interaction (Display, TTS and VR). Y If the language indicated does not match the active language on SDL, the interface registration will be rejected.If the user changes the SDL language while this interface registration is active, the interface registration will be terminated.

hashID String ID used to uniquely identify current state of all app data that can persist through connection cycles (e.g. ignition cycles).This registered data (commands, submenus, choice sets, etc.) can be reestablished without needing to explicitly reregister each piece. If omitted, then the previous state of an app's commands, etc. will not be restored.When sending hashID, all RegisterAppInterface parameters should still be provided (e.g. ttsName, etc.).
