Why u need a bash? You can use appControl, read the documentation of Tizen ;) Or look some threads below your post to find a solution :)

Hi! Marco.,

Am aware of appControl , I am able to invoke the default tizen music player. I could able achive using below code.

var appControl = new tizen.ApplicationControl('http://tizen.org/appcontrol/operation/view','tizen.musicplayer',0,'audio/*');
    tizen.application.launchAppControl(
    appControl,
    appname,
    function() {console.log("launch application control succeed"); },
    function(e) {console.log("launch application control failed. reason: " + e.message); },
    null );

But, my need is to invoke my own native hardware app, As I said we integrated gstremer & camera driver which is my vendor specific.

Those controls are able to start from sdb terminal. Now, those controls I need to starts from HTML5 app ? 

Either, Possible to get runtime sdb control in html5 app ? Below is the method we do in Android.

Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("your command");
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));

Can you suggest me a better way to achive my requirment ?

No you can not start a sdb control via HTML5 app... You can use MessagePort to communicate with your hardware app

Hi,

Hybrid Application is a sample message port example, where web application communicates with native app using Message Port.
