Alert
- Type
- Function
- Sender
- SDL
- Purpose
- Display an alert message on the HMI
SDL sends the UI.Alert RPC when some information needs to be displayed to the user on a display. The Alert has a softButtons array of buttons which the user can use to take action on the alert.
Must
- If the alert includes a soft button of type
STEAL_FOCUSand the user presses the button, the HMI must bring the app associated with the Alert into full screen mode. - The HMI must send UI.OnSystemContext with type
ALERTfor the application which is inFULLmode. - Respond to the Alert earlier than SDL's default timeout of 10 seconds - applicable only to alerts without
softButtons. - Display the alert dialog with the text information in the
alertFieldsarray and optionalsoftButtonsand optionaldisplayIndicatorindicating a timeout for the alert - Send Buttons.OnButtonPress and/or Buttons.OnButtonEvent notifications if soft buttons associated with the alert are pressed by the user
- Dismiss the alert after the duration has passed since receipt of the request
May
The HMI may provide the user with a system defined "close" button providing the user with the possibility to dismiss the alert. In this case the HMI must still respond to the alert request
Note
An alert may be sent to the HMI for an application which is not currently active. If the alert contains softButtons then the duration will be set to 0
