Start()

virtual QVariant berry::IApplication::Start ( IApplicationContext *  context )

pure virtual

Starts this application with the given context and returns a result. This method must not exit until the application is finished and is ready to exit. The content of the context is unchecked and should conform to the expectations of the application being invoked.

Applications can return any object they like. If an Integer is returned it is treated as the program exit code if BlueBerry is exiting.

Note: This method is called by the platform; it is not intended to be called directly by clients.

Returns

the return value of the application

Stop()

virtual void berry::IApplication::Stop ( )

pure virtual

Forces this running application to exit. This method should wait until the running application is ready to exit. The Start should already have exited or should exit very soon after this method exits

This method is only called to force an application to exit. This method will not be called if an application exits normally from the Start method.
