I have a CAknToolbar with three of my own icons in their CAknButtons since Symbian 5th. This has always worked, until Belle. On Belle I can only see the icon in the emulator, but not on the device....

Starting with Symbian Anna/Symbian ^3 SDK (AFAICS), CGraphicsContext::EDrawModeNOTSCREEN has changed.

Before (since EPOC, in fact), this call could be used to invert a rectangle on the screen by...

Creating an index using two columns of size 255 each, RDbStoreDatabase::CreateIndex() generates a LKErrTooBig.

Changes are this is because the index is too big, but without this being documented,...

Having a separate viewer and filelister was the recommended way of creating document viewers.

Anyway, I did lots and lots of different experiments, and it appears that the problem is that the...

I know it should work fine. Id did work fine for 10 years until Symbian Belle came along

The function worked fine starting in Symbian 9.1 up to and including in Symbian Anna. The problem started in Symbian Belle.

The following code fragment used to work singe Symbian 9.1, but with the introduction of Symbian Bell it has stopped working. In particular, it return -1 (KErrNotFound, one assumes).

On the device, my code crashes after it has executed the constructor of the CApaApplication with the error: "An invalid instruction exception has occurred."

There is no source, but the crash is at...

The 5th ed SDK has no ARM RVCT 3.1 support. I had installed RVCT 3.1, but as it is not necessary I removed it again, using its uninstaller.

But Carbide insists on using RCVT 3.1. That is a problem...

This works reasonably for a file or two, but if you need lost of them it quickly becomes a major maintenance problem. And there is the issue that you need to specify all the dependencies, not just...

It has disappeared from the Symbyan^3 and Belle SDK's. No mention in the help text.

Can we now *officially* assume it is gone so we can remove all help commands that lead to the system's help text...

In the old build system you had to build svg files separately in a makefile. This is a pain because these makefiles are always recompiling the svg files, which means that all c++ files importing the...

And another nice one.

Untick the top box on the platsec panel in the Preferences and the emulator is dead for all intents and purposes. It crashes in phoneui.exe. Editing epoc.ini doesn't work....

I have run the same 5th ed edition both virtualized in VMWare and native using bootcamp, and I have not seen a significant speed difference between the two. Compilation times were identical, and...

I am using a 2.4 Ghz, 4 Gig macbook with winxp in a vmware virtual machine. It has no problems running the iOS development system, or other windows apps.

More problems, now with the Belle emulator.

1) When scrolling while viewing the apps, it is very slow. And if I am almost at the bottom it crashes with a WSERV 7 panic every time. So I cannot even...

There are other problems in the Belle SDK

1) in aknappui.h there is this method

I have complained about identical problems well before the release of the ^3 SDK. Did not help much, as it appears.

Anyway, I have added the

#include <platform_paths.hrh>

If the official SDK generates lost of superfluous warnings it becomes much harder for third party developers to distinguish their own mistakes from the noise the SDK itself is creating.

If you and...

But in this Symbian^3 SDK these paths are supposed to be there, because that platform_paths.hrh says these folders must exist and have all the system header files. So the Symbian^3 SDK is broken.

Are you quite sure this is the right way to include the paths?

Because when Carbide 3.3 is processing the MMP file I get a truckload of warnings:
<<<<
WARNING:...

There is no mention at all in the sdk documentation of this path reshuffling. I have both Symbian^3 and Belle SDK's installed, but when I search for that macro in the carbide help documentation it is...

And another include file has bitten the dust: e32uid.h.

And another problem, one of the worst possible: eikenv.h has disappeared. That is going to break almost all S60 apps.

Things have changed in the f32file.h header, e32svr.h has gone and there is a macro, SYMBIAN_ENABLE_PUBLIC_PLATFORM_HEADER_SPLIT, which controls the inclusion of e32svr.h. Problem is, the default...
