# UIAbilityContext

The **UIAbilityContext** module, inherited from **Context**, implements the context for UIAbilities.

This module provides APIs for accessing UIAbility-specific resources. You can use the APIs to start and terminate a UIAbility, obtain the caller interface, and request permissions from users by displaying a dialog box.

> **NOTE**
>
>  - The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. 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.

## Modules to Import

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

## UIAbilityContext.startAbilityForResult

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

 - If different applications call this API to start an ability that uses the singleton mode and then call [terminateSelfWithResult](#uiabilitycontextterminateselfwithresult) to terminate the ability, the normal result is returned to the last caller, and an error message, in which **resultCode** is **-1**, is returned to others.

Observe the following when using this API:
 - If an application running in the background needs to call this API to start an ability, it must have the **ohos.permission.START_ABILITIES_FROM_BACKGROUND** permission.
