I need a functionality to embed my app to another app(host)

Hi,

Right now i am developing open source application. I need 2 major functionalities to do that:
1) My app should be able to launch in embedded mode(client server arch)
2) Should be able to send an IPC from host app to client app

But i am not sure whether these 2 functionalities is in MoSync SDK or not

Thanks in advance

I'm unsure what manner of server you're talking about, but if it's a program running on a webserver, you can use MoSync's Connection API to perform your InterProcess Calls. For example, we've got support for the protocols TCP, HTTP, XML and SOAP.

Hi,

I want something like embeddability = KAppEmbeddable; for Symbian OS.

This is an example how to embed an application for Symbian OS:

I'm not sure I understand Embeddable applications properly, but it looks like it's something unique to Symbian: the ability to have an Embeddable app merged into another app. In theory, MoSync might be able to support it, but it would probably be a lot more work than just writing the Embeddable app using the ordinary Symbian SDK.
