# UIExtensionContext

**UIExtensionContext**, inherited from [ExtensionContext](js-apis-inner-application-extensionContext.md), provides the context environment for the [UIExtensionAbility](js-apis-app-ability-uiExtensionAbility.md). It provides UIExtensionAbility-related configurations and APIs for operating the UIExtensionAbility. For example, you can use the APIs to start a UIExtensionAbility.

> **NOTE**
>
>  - The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 10. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
>  - The APIs of this module can be used only in the stage model.
>  - The APIs of this module must be used in the main thread, but not in sub-threads such as Worker and TaskPool.

## Modules to Import

```ts
import { common } from '@kit.AbilityKit';
```

## UIExtensionContext.startAbility

startAbility(want: Want, callback: AsyncCallback<void>): void

Starts an ability. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

> **NOTE**

## UIExtensionContext.startAbilityForResult

startAbilityForResult(want: Want, callback: AsyncCallback<AbilityResult>): void

Starts an ability and obtains the result when the ability is terminated. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result. The following situations may be possible for a started ability:
 - Normally, you can call [terminateSelfWithResult](js-apis-inner-application-uiAbilityContext.md#uiabilitycontextterminateselfwithresult) to terminate the ability. The result is returned to the caller.
 - If an exception occurs, for example, the ability is killed, an error message, in which **resultCode** is **-1**, is returned to the caller.
 - If different applications call this API to start an ability that uses the singleton mode and then call [terminateSelfWithResult](js-apis-inner-application-uiAbilityContext.md#uiabilitycontextterminateselfwithresult) to terminate the ability, the normal result is returned to the last caller, and an exception message, in which **resultCode** is **-1**, is returned to others.

## UIExtensionContext.openAtomicService<sup>12+<sup>
openAtomicService(appId: string, options?: AtomicServiceOptions): Promise&lt;AbilityResult&gt;

Starts an [EmbeddableUIAbility](js-apis-app-ability-embeddableUIAbility.md) in jump-out mode and returns the result. This API uses a promise to return the result.
The following situations may be possible for a started EmbeddableUIAbility:
 - Normally, you can call [terminateSelfWithResult](js-apis-inner-application-uiAbilityContext.md#uiabilitycontextterminateselfwithresult) to terminate the EmbeddableUIAbility. The result is returned to the caller.
 - If an exception occurs, for example, the EmbeddableUIAbility is killed, an error message, in which **resultCode** is **-1**, is returned to the caller.
 - If different applications call this API to start an EmbeddableUIAbility and then call [terminateSelfWithResult](js-apis-inner-application-uiAbilityContext.md#uiabilitycontextterminateselfwithresult) to terminate the EmbeddableUIAbility, the normal result is returned to the last caller, and an exception message, in which **resultCode** is **-1**, is returned to others.

- The **actions** field contains **ohos.want.action.viewData**.
- The **entities** field contains **entity.system.browsable**.
- The **uris** field contains elements whose **scheme** is **https** and **domainVerify** is **true**.

If you want to obtain the result after the started UIAbility is terminated, set the **callback** parameter. For details about how to use this parameter, see [startAbilityForResult](#uiextensioncontextstartabilityforresult).
If an input parameter is invalid, for example, a mandatory parameter is not set or the URL set in **link** is not in the standard format, an exception is thrown. If the parameter verification is successful but an error occurs when starting the target UIAbility, the error information is returned through promise.
