script isnt closing

[roidayan]

hey

I made a scritp in python and made default.py which only does:

import appuifw
import myscript
myscript.main()
appuifw.app.set_exit()

in myscript.main() there is ocurse the code:

...main stuff...
applock = e32.Ao_lock()
applock.wait()
appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = exit_key_handler

def exit_key_handler():
    applock.signal()
    appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = None

the script runs fine and when i exit i dont see it anymore in the
task list (by pressing menu for 3 seconds)
but like when i recreate the sis package with ensymble and install it , the phone says the program is running and needs to be closed, i choose ok and it installs.

but what is wrong ? why the phone says it needs to closed ?
it should be closed.

thanks,
roi

That is strange indeed. My theory is that the phone still sees the program as "open" because, from the code you posted here, e32.Ao_lock() is never signaled (unless you press the right soft key).

Try this:

import appuifw, e32
import myscript
myscript.main()
applock=e32.Ao_lock()
applock.signal()
appuifw.app.set_exit()

Again, I'm not sure about the mechanisms of this problem so I apologize if this doesn't help.

hey thx for the answer but i checked again and everything works
,, maybe it was a problem i had while writing the code and testing but it seems now.

or maybe i think its happening if error occur and i call my harness() function, then signal is being called.

like i do

try:
   something()
except:
   harness()

my harness didnt signal applock, i now did applock as global None
and harness will check if its setted and signal it.

def harness():
    global applock
    import sys
    import traceback
    import e32
    import appuifw
    if applock!=None:
        applock.signal()
    appuifw.app.screen='normal'
    appuifw.app.focus=None
    appuifw.app.title=u'Error occured'
    body=appuifw.app.body=appuifw.Text()
    def tab(idx):
        if idx==0:
            appuifw.app.body=body;
        elif idx==1:
            appuifw.app.body=txtLog;
    appuifw.app.set_tabs([u"Error",u"Log"],tab)
    harnesslock=e32.Ao_lock()
    def quit():
        harnesslock.signal()
    appuifw.app.exit_key_handler=quit
    appuifw.app.menu=[(u'Exit', quit)]
    body.set(unicode('\n'.join(traceback.format_exception(*sys.exc_info()))))
    harnesslock.wait()
    appuifw.app.set_exit()

i'll check it now.

--edit--
It works now after added applock.signal() in harness()

...main stuff...
applock = e32.Ao_lock()
applock.wait()
appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = exit_key_handler

There's possible error in code: you should define exit_key_handler before you stop script execution to wait. Not sure what default exit_key_handler would do, but if you want to define your own then do it BEFORE applock.wait(). Your current problem might be caused by defining it when you're about to exit.

appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = exit_key_handler
applock = e32.Ao_lock()
applock.wait()

Hope it helps,

Jouni is right!
The appuifw.app.exit_key_handler should be referrenced to the exit_key_handler before applock = e32.Ao_lock().
I guess it works fine for you now.

yea thx guys, i already fixed it.
i guess the wait line was just a typo of place.
the problem was that when i had script error and called harness()
i had a new lock and after it i closed the app without sending signal to the main app lock.
