defaultMainWindowCapability

Returns the window capability object of the default main window which is always pre-created by the connected system. This is a convenience method for easily accessing the capabilities of the default main window.

@returns The window capability object representing the default main window capabilities or nil if no window capabilities exist.

Objective-C

@property (nonatomic, strong, readonly, nullable) SDLWindowCapability *defaultMainWindowCapability;

Swift

var defaultMainWindowCapability: SDLWindowCapability? { get }

supportsSubscriptions

YES if subscriptions are available on the connected module and you will automatically be notified if the value changes on the module. If NO, calls to subscribe methods will subscribe to updates, but the module will not automatically notify you. You will need to call updateWithCapabilityType:completionHandler: to force an update if you need one (though this should be rare). This does not apply to the DISPLAYS capability type which you can always subscribe to.

Objective-C

@property (nonatomic, readonly) BOOL supportsSubscriptions;

Swift

var supportsSubscriptions: Bool { get }

-init

Init is unavailable. Dependencies must be injected using initWithConnectionManager:

Objective-C

- (nonnull instancetype)init;

-initWithConnectionManager:

Creates a new system capability manager with a specified connection manager

Objective-C

- (nonnull instancetype)initWithConnectionManager:
    (nonnull id<SDLConnectionManagerType>)manager;

Parameters

manager

A connection manager to use to forward on RPCs

-start

Starts the manager. This method is used internally.

Objective-C

- (void)start;

Swift

func start()

-stop

Stops the manager. This method is used internally.

Objective-C

- (void)stop;

Swift

func stop()

-windowCapabilityWithWindowID:

Returns the window capability of one of your app’s windows with the specified window ID that is on the primary display (i.e. the head unit itself). This is a convenience method to easily access capabilities of windows such as your apps’ widget windows.

To get the capabilities of the main window on the main display (i.e. your app’s primary app screen on the head unit itself).

Objective-C

- (nullable SDLWindowCapability *)windowCapabilityWithWindowID:
    (NSUInteger)windowID;

Swift

func windowCapability(withWindowID windowID: UInt) -> SDLWindowCapability?

Parameters

windowID

The ID of the window from which to get capabilities @returns The window capabilities of the window with the specified windowID, or nil if the window is not known or no window capabilities exist.

-isCapabilitySupported:

Returns whether or not the capability type is supported on the module. You can use this to check if subscribing to the capability will work. If this returns NO, then the feature is not supported by the head unit. If YES, the feature is supported by the head unit. You can subscribe to the capability type to get more information about the capability’s support and features on the connected module.

Objective-C

- (BOOL)isCapabilitySupported:(nonnull SDLSystemCapabilityType)type;

Swift

func isCapabilitySupported(type: SDLSystemCapabilityType) -> Bool

Parameters

type

The SystemCapabilityType that will be checked.

-updateCapabilityType:completionHandler:

This method has been superseded by the subscribeToCapabilityType: methods. You should use one of those methods instead unless you only want a value once (you don’t want to keep a long-lasting observer) and it must be current (most capabilities do not need to be updated). If you have a separate subscription observer and are connected to a head unit that does not support subscriptions, when this method returns, it will also call all subscription callbacks that you’ve set up with the new value if there is one. Therefore, you can use this method to force an update to all subscriptions of that particular type on head units that don’t support subscriptions (supportsSubscriptions == NO).

Objective-C

- (void)updateCapabilityType:(nonnull SDLSystemCapabilityType)type
           completionHandler:(nonnull SDLUpdateCapabilityHandler)handler;

Swift

func updateCapabilityType(_ type: SDLSystemCapabilityType) async throws -> SDLSystemCapabilityManager

Parameters

type

The type of capability to retrieve

handler

The handler to be called when the retrieval is complete

-subscribeToCapabilityType:withUpdateHandler:

Subscribe to a particular capability type using a handler callback.

On v5.1.0+ systems (where supportsSubscriptions == YES): This method will be called immediately with the current value if a subscription already exists and will be called every time the value is updated.

Note that when the cached value is returned, the subscribed flag on the handler will be false until the subscription completes successfully and a new value is retrieved.

On sub-v5.1.0 systems (where supportsSubscriptions == NO): The method will be called immediately with the current value and will not be automatically called every time the value is updated, unless the type is DISPLAYS which is supported on every version. If updateCapabilityType:completionHandler is called and a new value is retrieved, this value will be updated then. If this is the first subscription of this SDLSystemCapabilityType, then the value will be retrieved and returned.

Objective-C

- (nullable id<NSObject>)
    subscribeToCapabilityType:(nonnull SDLSystemCapabilityType)type
            withUpdateHandler:
                (nonnull SDLCapabilityUpdateWithErrorHandler)handler;

Swift

func subscribe(capabilityType type: SDLSystemCapabilityType, updateHandler handler: @escaping SDLCapabilityUpdateWithErrorHandler) -> NSObjectProtocol?

Parameters

type

The type of capability to subscribe to

handler

The block to be called when the capability is updated with an error if one occurs

-subscribeToCapabilityType:withObserver:selector:

Subscribe to a particular capability type with a selector callback.

The selector supports the following parameters:

1. No parameters e.g. - (void)phoneCapabilityUpdated;

2. One SDLSystemCapability * parameter, e.g. - (void)phoneCapabilityUpdated:(SDLSystemCapability *)capability

3. Two parameters, one SDLSystemCapability * parameter, and one NSError parameter, e.g. - (void)phoneCapabilityUpdated:(SDLSystemCapability *)capability error:(NSError *)error

4. Three parameters, one SDLSystemCapability * parameter, one NSError parameter, and one BOOL parameter e.g. - (void)phoneCapabilityUpdated:(SDLSystemCapability *)capability error:(NSError *)error subscribed:(BOOL)subscribed

On v5.1.0+ systems (where supportsSubscriptions == YES): This method will be called immediately with the current value if a subscription already exists and will be called every time the value is updated.

On sub-v5.1.0 systems (where supportsSubscriptions == NO): The method will be called immediately with the current value and will not be automatically called every time the value is updated, unless the type is DISPLAYS which is supported on every version. If updateCapabilityType:completionHandler is called and a new value is retrieved, this value will be updated then. If this is the first subscription of this SDLSystemCapabilityType, then the value will be retrieved and returned.

Objective-C

- (BOOL)subscribeToCapabilityType:(nonnull SDLSystemCapabilityType)type
                     withObserver:(nonnull id)observer
                         selector:(nonnull SEL)selector;

Swift

func subscribe(toCapabilityType type: SDLSystemCapabilityType, withObserver observer: Any, selector: Selector) -> Bool

Parameters

type

The type of the system capability to subscribe to

observer

The object that will have selector called whenever the capability is updated

selector

The selector on observer that will be called whenever the capability is updated

-unsubscribeFromCapabilityType:withObserver:

Unsubscribe from a particular capability type. If it was subscribed with a block / handler, the return value should be passed to the observer to unsubscribe the block. If it was subscribed with a selector, the observer object (on which the selector exists and is called) should be passed to unsubscribe the object selector.

Objective-C

- (void)unsubscribeFromCapabilityType:(nonnull SDLSystemCapabilityType)type
                         withObserver:(nonnull id)observer;

Swift

func unsubscribe(fromCapabilityType type: SDLSystemCapabilityType, withObserver observer: Any)

Parameters

type

The type of the system capability to unsubscribe from

observer

The object that will be unsubscribed. If a block was subscribed, the return value should be passed. If a selector was subscribed, the observer object should be passed.
