## Target reader of this document
Application developer whose software uses HomeScreen.

* * *

## Overview
HomeScreen is built with a GUI application created with Qt(referred as HomeScreenGUI), and a service running on afb-daemon (referred as HomeScreenBinder).
HomeScreen can start/switch applications run in AGL, also displays information such as onscreen messages.

You can find these projects in AGL gerrit.

- [homescreen(HomeScreenGUI)](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/#/admin/projects/apps/homescreen)
- [launcher(LauncherGUI)](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/#/admin/projects/apps/launcher)
- [agl-service-homescreen(HomeScreenBinder's binding library)](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/#/admin/projects/apps/agl-service-homescreen)
- [libhomescreen(library for application to communication with HomeScreenBinder](    https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/#/admin/projects/src/libhomescreen)
- [libqthomescreen(library for qt application to communication with HomeScreenBinder based on libhomescreen)](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/#/admin/projects/src/libqthomescreen)

Also HomeScreenGUI is using libwindowmanager.

* * *

## Getting Start

### Supported environment

| Item        | Description                       |
|:------------|:----------------------------------|
| AGL version | Grumpy Guppy                      |
| Hardware    | Renesas R-Car Starter Kit Pro(M3) |


### Build

**Download recipe**

```
$ mkdir WORK
$ cd WORK
$ repo init -u https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/AGL/AGL-repo
$ repo sync

```

Then you can find the following recipes.

* `meta-agl-demo/recipes-demo-hmi/homescreen`

* `meta-agl-devel/meta-hmi-framework/recipes-demo-hmi/launcher`

* `meta-agl-demo/recipes-demo-hmi/agl-service-homescreen`

* `meta-agl-demo/recipes-demo-hmi/libhomescreen`

* `meta-agl-devel/meta-hmi-framework/recipes-demo-hmi/qlibhomescreen`


**Bitbake**

```
$ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -m m3ulcb agl-demo agl-devel agl-appfw-smack agl-hmi-framework
$ bitbake agl-demo-platform
```

### Configuring
To use HomeScreen API, an application shall paste the following configuration definition into "config.xml" of application.

```
<feature name="urn:AGL:widget:required-api">
	<param name="homescreen" value="ws" />
    <param name="windowmanager" value="ws" />
</feature>
```

### How to call HomeScreen APIs from your Application?
HomeScreen provides a library which is called "libhomescreen".
This library treats "json format" as API calling.
For example, if an application wants to call "showWIndow()" API, the you should implement as below.

At first the application should create the instance of libhomescreen.

```
LibHomeScreen* libhs;
libhs = new LibHomeScreen();
libhs->init(port, token);
```

The port and token is provided by Application Framework

Execute the "showWindow()" function.

```
libhs->showWindow("application_id", "display_area");
```

Regarding the detail of showWindow() API, please refer [this](#homescreen-specific-api) section.
The first parameter is the appid of application which want to display,liked "dashboard".
And the second parameter corresponds to display_area which defined by windowmanager,usually "normal",
so in this case "showWindow" the two parameters are proper string.

See also our [Sample code](#sample-code).

* * *

## Supported usecase
1. HomeScreenGUI sending showWindow event to applications
	- Applications using libhomescreen to subscribe the showWindow event,
        HomeScreenGUI will send showWindow event to applications.
2. Display OnScreen messages(deprecated)
	- Applications sending OnScreen messages to homescreen-service, and OnScreenAPP
        will get these message and display.
3. Get OnSreen Reply event(deprecated)
	- When OnScreen messages is displaying, OnScreenAPP will send a reply event to applications.
4. Display OnScreen by showWindow
    - When application who want to show OnScreen,it can call "showWindow",then OnScreenApp will
        display request OnScreen.
5. Hide OnScreen by hideWindow
    - When application who want to hide OnScreen which is displaying,it can call "hideWindow",then OnScreenApp
        will hide OnScreen.
6. Send OnScreen Reply by replyShowWindow
    - When user touch the button of OnScreen, OnScreenApp can call "relplyShowWindow" to send reply information
        back to application.
7. Show Notification on HomeScreenGUI
    - When application who want to display a notification,it can call "showNotification",then HomeScreenGUI will
        display the notification contents on the screen top area.
8. Show Information on HomeScreenGUI
    - When application who want to display a information,it can call "showInformation",then HomeScreenGUI will
        display the information contents on the screen bottom area.

* * *

## Software Architecture
The architecture of HomeScreen is shown below.
HomeScreen is the service designed to be used by multiple applications.
Therefore HomeScreen framework consists on two binder layers. Please refer the following figure.
The upper binder is for application side security context for applications. The lower binder is for servide side security context.
Usually application side binder has some business logic for each application, so the number of binders depend on the number of applications which use HomeScreen.
On the other hand, regarding lower binder there is only one module in the system. This binder receives all messages from multiple applications (in detail, it comes from upper layer binder).

The communication protocols between libhomescreen and upper binder, upper binder and lower binder, lower binder (homescreen-binding) are WebSocket.

## API reference
"libhomescreen" and "agl-service-homescreen" provides several kinds of APIs.

### HomeScreen Specific API

```
    port [in] : This argument should be specified to the port number to be used for websocket
    token [in] : This argument should be specified to the token to be used for websocket

    Create connection to homescreen-service by port and token which provided by
    application framework. This API must be called before calling other api.
```
- LibHomeScreen::tapShortcut(const char *application_id)
```

    This api is deprecated, recommend using showWindow.
```
- LibHomeScreen::onScreenMessage(const char *display_message)

    This api is deprecated, recommend using showWindow/hideWindow to call onscreenapp.
```
- LibHomeScreen::onScreenReply(const char *reply_message)
```
    reply_message [in] : message for reply

    This api is deprecated, recommend using replyShowWindow.
```

```
    et [in] : event name
    f [in] : event handler

    Setting event handler for Homescreen-Service Event.

```
- LibHomeScreen::unsubscribe(const string& event_name)
```
    event_name [in] : This argument should be specified to the event name

    Request to show the window of application_id, and set display area in json liked
    {"area":"normal.full"}.
