View changing

[ckt]

Hi all,
I would like to know if it is possible to return back to previous view.
I have got a view(lets say view A) with a back button with it. Upon the click of this button, it is supposed to return back to the previous view it came from.
For example,
View B to view A then
click back
view A switch back to view B then
View C to view A then
click back
view A back to view C
Basically, is it possible to store the previous view visited?

Thanks

Regards

Yes It Is possible to Go back to Previously Visited View. You have to save the View Point if you have to Do so.

Basically you can get the previous view while your CAknView bases view is activated (see SDK docs for DoActivaL, and its aPrevViewId-argument variable).

For CCoeControl based views, you could always implement your own logic for saving the last views information.

No links required, just open the SDK help (its installed same time with your SDK), and locate "CAknView Class Reference"

if it is a view based architecture, then you can do it this way:

Every view has a id and u can call a switch view by passing the id.

Now if you store a variable say in appui or ur engine class, you can store the prev view id there and call switch view with this id.
the type of variable is : TUid
You can get the id by calling view->Id()


hope this helps
