Context.getGroupDir¹⁰⁺

getGroupDir(dataGroupID: string): Promise<string>;

Obtains the shared directory based on a group ID. This API uses a promise to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.Ability.AbilityRuntime.Core

Parameters

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
dataGroupID	string	Yes	Group ID, which is assigned by the system when an atomic service application project is created.

Return value

Type	Description
Promise<string>	Promise used to return the result. If no shared directory exists, null is returned. Only the encryption level EL2 is supported.

Error codes

For details about the error codes, see Ability Error Codes.

ID	Error Message
16000011	The context does not exist.

Example

import common from '@ohos.app.ability.common';

let groupId = "1";
let getGroupDirContext: common.Context = this.context;
try {
  getGroupDirContext.getGroupDir(groupId).then(data => {
    console.log("getGroupDir result:" + data);
  })
} catch (error) {
  console.error('getGroupDirContext failed, error.code: ${error.code}, error.message: ${error.message}');
}

Context.getGroupDir¹⁰⁺

getGroupDir(dataGroupID: string, callback: AsyncCallback<string>): void;

Obtains the shared directory based on a group ID. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.Ability.AbilityRuntime.Core

Parameters

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
dataGroupID	string	Yes	Group ID, which is assigned by the system when an atomic service application project is created.
callback	AsyncCallback<string>	Yes	Callback used to return the result. If no shared directory exists, null is returned. Only the encryption level EL2 is supported.
