HMI Documentation
OnSystemCapabilityUpdated

OnSystemCapabilityUpdated

Type
Notification
Sender
SDL or HMI
Purpose
Inform that a specific system capability has changed

Notification

  1. HMI sends OnSystemCapabilityUpdated notification to SDL after creating a widget (see also CreateWindow).
  2. HMI sends OnSystemCapabilityUpdated notification after receiving UI.Show(templateConfiguration) request manipulating the content presented of main window or widgets.
  3. HMI should not send WEB_VIEW template in WindowCapability for any widgets, and applications with AppHMIType other than WEB_VIEW.
  4. If the application changes template to WEB_VIEW, HMI should send OnSystemCapabilityUpdated with the following textFields restrictions in WindowCapability:
    • menuName and templateTitle should be included, if they are visible on HMI.
    • mainField1-4, statusBar and mediaTrack should not be included if OEM implemented the WEB_VIEW template without these text fields.
    • templatesAvailable, buttonCapabilities and imageTypeSupported should reflect the general capabilities of the window/system.
  5. HMI sends OnSystemCapabilityUpdated(VIDEO_STREAMING) notification to notify a subscribed mobile application that video streaming resolution has switched.
Note

Template WEB_VIEW is only allowed for the WebEngine applications with AppHMIType=WEB_VIEW.

Recommendations for how various screen modes have to be handled

If the change is a Picture-in-Picture-type change, scale the current video stream to the size you desire without going through this flow. Touches should never be passed to the app. Either a system menu/buttons should be displayed when selected, or the selection should bring the user immediately back to the full-screen app.

If the change is a split-screen type change (and cannot be handled by scaling the original video), then go through this flow. If the app does not support your custom split-resolution, either don't allow the user to put the app in split screen, or scale the video stream to a size that fits the window and use "black bars" to fill the rest of the window. Touches may be passed to the app in certain limited cases.

  • The window must have a width of at least 3" and a height of at least 3".

  • The touches must be offset for the developer so that 0,0 continues to be in the top-left corner of the app window. If these requirements are not met, either a system menu / buttons should be displayed when selected, or the selection should bring the user immediately back to the full-screen app.
