        } catch (InvalidUsageException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (OperationFailureException e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
        }

Performing operation

Install User App.


//  Install User App.
    String currentDir = new StringBuilder().append(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsoluteFile() + File.separator ).toString();
        try {            
                readerManagement.UserApp.install(currentDir);         
           
        } catch (OperationFailureException | InvalidUsageException e) {           

        }

Uninstall User App.


//  Uninstall User App.
    String currentDir = new StringBuilder().append(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsoluteFile() + File.separator ).toString();
    try {
        readerManagement.UserApp.uninstall(currentDir);

    } catch (OperationFailureException | InvalidUsageException e) {

    }

Start User App.


//  Start User App.
    String currentDir = new StringBuilder().append(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsoluteFile() + File.separator ).toString();
    try {
            readerManagement.UserApp.start(currentDir);

    } catch (OperationFailureException | InvalidUsageException e) {
    }
                                                

Stop User App.


//  Stop User App.
    String currentDir = new StringBuilder().append(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsoluteFile() + File.separator ).toString();
    try {
            readerManagement.UserApp.stop(currentDir);

    } catch (OperationFailureException | InvalidUsageException e) {
	}
                                            

Get Run Status.


//  Get Run Status.
    String currentDir = new StringBuilder().append(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsoluteFile() + File.separator ).toString();
        try {
                readerManagement.UserApp.getRunStatus(currentDir);

        } catch (OperationFailureException | InvalidUsageException e) {

        }                                        

Auto Start.


//  Auto Start.
    String currentDir = new StringBuilder().append(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsoluteFile() + File.separator ).toString();
    try {
            readerManagement.UserApp.autoStart(currentDir,true);

    } catch (OperationFailureException | InvalidUsageException e) {

    }
