I am trying to create a tizen native application which can launch another application. I wanted to create an application in such a way that I can give application name as a parameter to the application I am going to develop.
Following are the steps I have followed to understand how to pass command line arguments to the application and how to process the arguments in application:
- Added log statement to check on how many arguments are passed to my application
for (int i = 0; i < argc; i++) { pArgs->Add(*(new String(pArgv[i]))); AppLog("index : %d, argument : %s", i, pArgv[i]); }
- Launched the application using launch_app in sdb -e shell
- launch_app $hello_world_application (without arguments).
It is observed that the count of the arguments that are passed to osp_main are 6.

- launch_app Xbfv5mXrHt.tizenSrvAppProject2 "test1"
It is observed that the count of the arguments that are passed to osp_main are 6.
- launch_app Xbfv5mXrHt.tizenSrvAppProject2 "test1" "test2"
It is observed that the count of the arguments that are passed to osp_main are 8.
also it is observed that the last argument that is passed to the application is not taken into consideration by the application.

Kindly provide me some pointers on:
How are arguments passed to osp_main?
How to make use of the arguments passed to the application by the application?
Thanks in Advance
