Data Sharing Between Apps
Enabling Channels
To add the Channel Selector to your window, you need to enable the channel
window option:
glue.windows().register(handle, options -> options.channel())
All Channels
To get a collection of all available Channel names, use the all()
method:
CompletionStage<Collection<String>> allChannelNames = glue.channels.all();
Creating Channel Context
A context data object can contain different types of data, e.g. RIC
symbol, ClientID
, AccountID
:
Map<String, Object> data = new LinkedHashMap<>();
data.put("RIC", "BMW.GR");
data.put("ClientID", 235399);
data.put("AccountID", "X2343");
You can create a Channel context object:
ChannelContext<Map<String, Object>> channelContext = glue.channels().create(window);
Subscribing for Data
When you want your app to track the current Channel data, you can use the subscribe()
method of the Channel context object:
channelContext.subscribe((ChannelContextDataSubscriber<Map<String, Object>>) (channel, data) -> {
// Each time the Channel context data is updated, this method will be invoked.
});
Publishing Data
To update the current Channel context data, use the publish()
method:
channelContext.publish(Collections.singletonMap("RIC", "VOD.L"));
