Start Ability For Result Example

Demonstrates starting another UIAbility and receiving its result asynchronously.

Three buttons start a target ability with QOhosAbilityContext::startAbilityForResult(): with a want only, with a want and start options built via QtOhosExtras::createStartOptions(), and with an intentionally empty want to exercise the error path. A dialog collects the target bundle and ability names. Every call returns a request identifier which is logged; results arrive through the startAbilityForResultResponseReceived() signal with the result code and an optional returned want, and failures through startAbilityForResultErrorResponseReceived().

Note: Requests are asynchronous and several can be outstanding, so results must be correlated with the returned request identifier; there is no blocking variant of startAbilityForResult(). At minimum the bundle name and the ability name must be set on the want.
