Thanks

What if I wanted to do something like write a virtual keyboard that the user can use to enter text and swipes etc. to whatever app was in the foreground? Does that require an FEP?

If you meant are they run in a separate thread to each other, the answer is no. Each thread has multiple active objects, the whole point of them is that they are a replacement for threads.

There's...

Hi

I'd like to write an app that responds to a touch screen input - it would need (obviously) to notice when and where the user taps the screen, also if the user were to drag their finger around...

Sorry, not really a Symbian OS question.

I have written a Symbian SMS plugin and would like to be able to test it, does anybody know if its possible to send an SMS somehow from a PC? (an actual...

Before bothering to find out how to write them, how about first checking if you can use them once you have written them.

Does your company have a flashable phone and tools or reference hardware?...

So all these people using gSoap and SyExpat have decided to do things the hard way is my conclusion in the lack of any other contrary evidence.

And also why do people use SyExpat when Symbian has its own XML parser/generator?

I don't know much about Soap, but after googling for an hour or two it seems its nothing more than XML over HTTP.

In which case if I wanted to access some Soap server from a Symbian device all I...

You can't cast using references.

And as Wizard has said, your cast looks very very dodgy, why would you want to cast a TAny to a descriptor?

If the image size has to be fixed at X by X pixels and the file size be less than a certain size, is there an API for compressing it while retaining the X by X pixel size?

Hi

If I have a JPEG (or GIF87/89a) and want to shrink it down in size to a max X * X pixels and max file size in Kb what API can I use?

Thanks

For future reference if you had stepped through the code line by line in the IDE you could have found the problem in 2 minutes.
If for some reason your code can't execute on the emulator, you could...

So you are getting the following?

NewL before exit
after ConstructL tarker

or just:
NewL before exit

My most popular SDK is 3.7b because that comes in a rather fetching shade of purple, and as all good fashionistas know - purple is the new black.

If you create it using CTracker::NewLC() and there is insufficient memory you will not get notified of low memory because you are not using ELeave when you allocate TWArea so you will also get an...

You said its leaving 'after' NewL. Is it leaving during the NewL or not?

If "NewL before exit" is being logged then it cannot be leaving in the NewL.
You can check this for yourself with 5...

Its not a simulator its an emulator, as such there is no specific version of it corresponding to each particular device.

There's no such thing as a memory leak for the stack.

I disagree - it is not best to get into the habit of using the cleanup stack 'just in case'.
If everybody did that in all the code on the OS you would probably have thousands of unnecessary...

You are aware that if you open a stream over your file and stream it into the HBufC then it will not work unless the contents of the file were created also by streaming into the file?

Your comments about self signing in relation to saving a file show you are very confused about these things.

Signing is something that is used when you install a program on the device.

Observers are nothing to do with Symbian, not even anything to do with C++. Its just a general programming design concept.

Isn't all this advice to use CDesCArray::Sort(TKeyCmpText) incorrect?

Isn't a voice call analog data and you can't encrypt/decrypt analog data? Or am I mistaken.
