+<p>The <a href="GUID-2D651505-F68C-4053-B565-9FF826C5B897.html#GUID-2D651505-F68C-4053-B565-9FF826C5B897">AppManager
+Service API</a> allows <span>widgets</span> to access and launch applications
+on a device. You can use the AppManager Service to create <span>widgets</span> that:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>Retrieve a list of user-installed applications</p></li>
+<li><p>Retrieve a list of all applications on the mobile device,
+regardless of whether they were preinstalled or installed by the user</p>
+</li>
+<li><p>Launch an application based on an application UID</p>
+</li>
+<li><p>Launch an application based on a given document or MIME type</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The service allows <span>widgets</span> to launch applications as chained
+(embedded) or stand-alone. This provides the following functionality:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>Embedded applications are launched within another application
+and share the same process. All UI features (such as the options list and
+icons displayed in the header) belong to the launching application, not the
+embedded application. For example, embedding the browser to display HTML within
+an SMS message is a typical use case. In this case, all UI features belong
+to the messaging application.</p></li>
+<li><p>Stand-alone applications are independent of other applications
+- they do not share the same process. Applications can launch other applications
+as stand-alone, in which case they run as peer applications. For example,
+launching the browser when a user selects a URL within an SMS message is a
+typical use case. In this case, the user can swap between the browser and
+messaging applications.</p></li>
+</ul>

+<p>To create a <a href="GUID-04095E9A-50E7-4E5F-BD6F-71DA281A0080.html#GUID-04095E9A-50E7-4E5F-BD6F-71DA281A0080">service
+object</a> for the AppManager Service API, use <code>Service.AppManager</code> to
+identify the service provider and <code>IAppManager</code> to identify
+the supported interface:</p>
+
+<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-A2F3BA97-7375-4A1A-82EB-B7D0CCFDBB63-GENIDd0e6831">var so = device.getServiceObject("Service.AppManager", "IAppManager");</pre>
+<p>The <code>IAppManager</code> interface provides the following
+methods:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p><a href="GUID-4A2480A8-4D79-4F5D-9614-74A8934B8952.html#GUID-4A2480A8-4D79-4F5D-9614-74A8934B8952"><code>GetList()</code></a></p>
+
+<p>Use the <code>GetList()</code> method to get a list of user-installed
+applications or all applications on the mobile device.</p>
+
+</li>
+<li><p><a href="GUID-697AFF1F-24C7-43BD-A072-8352B3BE973C.html#GUID-697AFF1F-24C7-43BD-A072-8352B3BE973C"><code>LaunchApp()</code></a></p>
+
+<p>Use the <code>LaunchApp()</code> method to launch
+an application based on the application UID. Use <code>GetList()</code> to
+retrieve the correct UID.</p>
+
+</li>
+<li><p><a href="GUID-41FAD7DA-0DB7-48E7-BD60-58D6BFD785DA.html#GUID-41FAD7DA-0DB7-48E7-BD60-58D6BFD785DA"><code>LaunchDoc()</code></a></p>
+
+<p>Use the <code>LaunchDoc()</code> method to launch an application
+based on a given document or a MIME type.</p>
+
+</li>
+<li><p><a href="GUID-64CC3AB4-5444-474A-9470-818F423C5611.html#GUID-64CC3AB4-5444-474A-9470-818F423C5611"><code>Cancel()</code></a></p>
+
+<p>Use the <code>Cancel()</code> method to cancel an ongoing asynchronous
+call. This method is valid for any asynchronous call made through the AppManager
+Service API.</p>
