splash screen basics knowldge needed

Hi,
my splash screen app runs fine on emulator but I think crashes on device nokia 500. If I remove following lines , it works on device also->
[CODE]
_LIT(KtxMySplashImage,"\\private\\e7e6ddd5\\splash.jpg" );
// iDecoder=CImageDecoder::FileNewL(CCoeEnv::Static()->FsSession(), KtxMySplashImage);
// TInt aSelectedFrame=0;
// iSplashPic->Create(iDecoder->FrameInfo(0).iOverallSizeInPixels,iDecoder->FrameInfo(0).iFrameDisplayMode);
// iDecoder->Convert(&iStatus, *iSplashPic, aSelectedFrame) ;
// SetActive();
[/CODE]

should I add something to mmp file , or .pkg file?

The panic code thing (post #11) is also available on the device, try getting the panic code.
Otherwise yes, you have to install the file on the device, which happens via editing the .pkg file (and of course re-building the .sis file after that). At the end of the file you will see "file on your PC"-"file on the phone" lines. That is where you can deploy splash.jpg.
The simplest approach could be deploying it to the c:, then you would add the line[CODE]"....\<your project>\...\splash.jpg"-"c:\private\e7e6ddd5\splash.jpg"[/CODE]in the .pkg, and hardcode the drive in the descriptor[CODE]_LIT(KtxMySplashImage,"[COLOR="#FF0000"]c:[/COLOR]\\private\\e7e6ddd5\\splash.jpg" );[/CODE]it should be enough for a test.

Hi,
I have added the following code to the pkg file.
"....\hello_0xe7e6ddd5.exe\...\splash.jpg"-"c:\private\e7e6ddd5\splash.jpg"
I am not able to build sis files with this. I can build sis files without this line.
also i tried with
"$(EPOCROOT)epoc32\winscw\c\private\e7e6ddd5\splash.jpg" -"!:\private\e7e6ddd5\splash.jpg" the sis file is generated but still the code crashes
also with
;"splash.jpg" - "!:\private\e7e6ddd5\splash.jpg" ------- no sis file is generated



Also my original application is not running on device. I get error "Unable to execute file for security reasons."any idea how to resolve this error. I am trying to find out which lines give me this security concerns
so I am separating code in helloworld program and debugging..
Also I want to enable panic codes in my emulator. I am not getting panic codes for any crashes. In my ErrRd file it shows "ECHO is off". Also where to find panic codes from mobile device?

The errrd file for the emulator is fine, its contents do not matter, just if the file exists or not. However there is an error message onyl if there is a panic (crash) somewhere. Does your code suddenly exit on the emulator?
For the device part, the security reasons stuff usually denotes some problem with the UID or the capability set. Some parts of this discussion suggests that you are using UID e7e6ddd5, which is fine, so the capability stuff could be the next one to check. In the .mmp file there is a line with keyword [b]CAPABILITY[/b]. Check that, and also check the article [url]http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Capabilities[/url] - with self-signing (default case when you create a new project), the first 5-6 capabilities ("Basic" or "User grantable") can be used only.

1>my code got installed into device with additional capabilities.
Thanks for that

2>But i am still not getting panic codes. To test I have written a code-
CViewSplash* iSplashView ;
iSplashView->ClientRect();
iSplashView= new (ELeave) CViewSplash;
No panic code is shown. The emulator just vanishes.

3>My main concern now->
what line to add, to pkg file to enable loading image in splash view?

My pkg file->

[CODE]
&EN

; standard SIS file header
#{"hello"},(0xe7e6ddd5),1,0,0

;Localised Vendor name
%{"Vendor-EN"}

;Unique Vendor name
:"Vendor"

;Supports Series 60 v 5.0
[0x101F7961], 0, 0, 0, {"Series60ProductID"}

;Files to install

;required for application to be covered by backup/restore facility
"..\sis\backup_registration.xml" -"!:\private\e7e6ddd5\backup_registration.xml"

[/CODE]

I think I have to add something like this tp mmp file
START BITMAP <appname>.mbm
TARGETPATH \Resource\Apps
SOURCE <color-depth> <source-bitmap-list> -------------------what is this (source-bitmap-list takes path of group folder and not private folder)
END

mbm files are created for images with bmp extension. To draw a jpeg image, you can utilize CImagedecoder API, to convert the jpg image into draw-able bitmap:

[url]http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/How_to_read_images_to_Symbian_bitmap[/url]

Also there is no need to mention anything for this in the mmp file, simple place the file in the path as desired & use the code as given in the link above.

hi, I have used that code. My problem is that image is loading into emulator but not onto device

What is the path of file going as a parameter in FileNewL() when you test it on device?

Hi, I have tried with both
_LIT(KtxMySplashImage,"c:\\private\\e7e6ddd5\\splash.jpg" );
and _LIT(KtxMySplashImage,"\\private\\e7e6ddd5\\splash.jpg" );


details are mentioned in thread #16

mu main concerns are path can be anything but I do not want to place image on device, I want the image to be embedded in the app

The first one should be working fine.You may try changing the path just to be sure, let say this:

"$(EPOCROOT)epoc32\winscw\c\private\e7e6ddd5\splash.jpg" -"C:\data\splash.jpg"

& the same in FileNewL() as well.

Also for seeing the crash code, you can download the ErrRd.sis from here: [url]http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Extended_panic_code[/url] & install it in your device.

Hi I tried the way you adviced, I get error
System err(-1)
E32USER-CBASE 40

[QUOTE=sandeepmhptr3;907986]Hi I tried the way you adviced, I get error

E32USER-CBASE 40[/QUOTE]

Ok, now you want to read its documentation in the SDK & see what causes it. Along with that can you please paste the class you have implemented to convert the jpeg to bitmap here.

hi,
The app runs fine when I install it to phone memory(C drive), but fails when installed to mass memory

I am not sure if you have followed #17, but if you had then things should have working fine.
