Sugar activities are usually written in Python using the [http://api.sugarlabs.org/ Python Activity API]. This page documents the underlying mechanism that all activities need to conform to. Activities can be written in any language, as long as it can connect to D-Bus and provide an X11 interface. The discussion below tries to be language-agnostic.

Note: since Sugar 0.84, you also can give the full path to an existing file instead of an object id. If the user resumes that file, it will be copied to the Journal first and the opened using the chosen activity. <i>This seems to be of limited usefulness and is documented here just for completeness</i>
