SyncML setting default values

[Asif Nazir]

Hi all,
I have created New Profile using RSyncMLDataSyncProfile,it is created successfully but how can i set its Host address value in Connections Settings programmatically and also in Applications->Contacts-> how can set defaults values of (i) Include in sync to "Yes" (ii) Remote dataBase value to "Card" and same settings for Calander programatically.can any body provide me a sample example of setting default values.

I have Set defaults values of Username ,password ,Display Name and Version successfully.

Regards

Hello Asif,
in fact there's a lack of docs on it, but after all it's not part of standard api ;-)
I've written this for 3rd Ed MR, i couldn't test it on other versions, but i hope it helps.
"con" and "cal" are the syncml server sources (values provided by Funambol syncml server, "con" and "caltask" on Mobical syncml server)

Thanks pavarang: i want to clear some variables

error: undefined identifier 'KErrNoContactsProvider'
error: undefined identifier 'KErrNoCalendarProvider'
error: undefined identifier 'SetIapIdForConnProperties'
error: undefined identifier 'iIapId'


can u tell me how can i resolve these.

[pavarang]

Hello,

error: undefined identifier 'KErrNoContactsProvider'
error: undefined identifier 'KErrNoCalendarProvider'

those were errors defined by me, you can delete that line of code and put whatever you want to do if the check in the line before is true

error: undefined identifier 'SetIapIdForConnProperties'
error: undefined identifier 'iIapId'

iIapId is the IapId of the IAP you want to set for the connection, there is plenty of code here on the forum/wiki to obtain it; and SetIapIdForConnProperties was my function to retrive the IapId from the name of the IAP.

You can delete SetIapIdForConnProperties and use -1 instead of iIapId; this way the IAP setting will result in "Always ask":
syncConnection.SetPropertyL(_L8("NSmlIapId"),_L8("-1");

Please don't just copy and paste the code before, but take it as an example of how to try things :-)

hope it helps

Above code is creating profile on E61i E61 correctly but not on N96,N95,N95 8gb, it is leaving at if(contactsProvider == -1)
User::Leave(KErrNoContactsProvider);

can any body tell me why.

[pavarang]

Hello Asif,
maybe it doesn't find the contact provider with this line of code:

else if(dataProvider.DisplayName().Compare(_L("Contacts"))==0)

maybe on N95 the DisplayName is not "Contacts" but something else... try to display it with a cycle through data providers, _something like_:

RArray<TSmlDataProviderId> dataProvidersArr;
	TRAP(err,syncMLSession.ListDataProvidersL(dataProvidersArr));
	User::LeaveIfError(err);
	TInt count = dataProvidersArr.Count();
	
	for(int i=0;i<count;i++)
	{
		RSyncMLDataProvider dataProvider;
		TRAP(err,dataProvider.OpenL(syncMLSession,dataProvidersArr[i]));
		User::LeaveIfError(err);
		
CEikonEnv::InfoWinL(_L("DisplayName:"),dataProvider.DisplayName());
				dataProvider.Close();
	}

[Asif Nazir]

I have already displayed dataProvider.DisplayName() but it is showing some unknown characters .can any body tell me why it is giving like this.ON E61,E61i,N78,5500 & E70 it is giving correct Names.

code is given below


TSmlDataProviderId contactsProvider = -1;
TSmlDataProviderId calendarProvider = -1;
RArray<TSmlDataProviderId> dataProvidersArr;
TRAP(err,syncMLSession.ListDataProvidersL(dataProvidersArr));
User::LeaveIfError(err);
for(int i=0;i<dataProvidersArr.Count();i++)
{
RSyncMLDataProvider dataProvider;
TRAP(err,dataProvider.OpenL(syncMLSession,dataProvidersArr[i]));
User::LeaveIfError(err);
CEikonEnv::InfoWinL(_L(""),dataProvider.DisplayName());
if(dataProvider.DisplayName().Compare(_L("Calendar"))==0)
{
//Calendar
}
else if(dataProvider.DisplayName().Compare(_L("Contacts"))==0
{
//Contacts
}
dataProvider.Close();
}

Hello,
RSyncMLDataProvider class also have GetDataStoreNamesL, DefaultDataStoreName and AllowsMultipleDatastore methods, maybe one of them gives you some descriptor consistent across the various devices... ?

all the best

[am_ran32]

Hello,
Contact provider name is different for N95 phones (it is: C:Contacts.cdb). Calendar provider is called "C:Calendar"
You can use the DefaultDataStoreName() to compare the name of the datastore, as shown in code below:

// create and enable tasks (applications)
// retrieve needed data provider ids
TSmlDataProviderId contactsProvider = -1;
TSmlDataProviderId calendarProvider = -1;

RArray<TSmlDataProviderId> dataProvidersArr;
TRAP(err,syncMLSession.ListDataProvidersL(dataProvidersArr));
User::LeaveIfError(err);
TInt count = dataProvidersArr.Count();

for(int i=0;i<count;i++)
{
RSyncMLDataProvider dataProvider;
TRAP(err,dataProvider.OpenL(syncMLSession,dataProvidersArr[i]));
User::LeaveIfError(err);

if(dataProvider.DefaultDataStoreName().Compare(_L("C:Contacts.cdb"))==0)
{
calendarProvider = dataProvider.Identifier();
}
else if(dataProvider.DefaultDataStoreName().Compare(_L("C:Calendar"))==0)
{
contactsProvider = dataProvider.Identifier();
}
dataProvider.Close();
}

Hello,

I have a few questions to pavarang:
-How did you get the information about the "NSmlIapId" parameter.
-I need to pass additional device specific data in the SyncML message. How can I do that on Symbian?
Do you know if some parameters allows to set the Device ID value or any other value of the the syncML header? (I mean IMEI:xxxxxxxxxxx)

Thanks for your previous help, it was really usefull.

[pavarang]

Hello Trulio,
as for your first question:
i manually configured a working profile on the phone, for Mobical or Funambol free servers, for example; then i peeked into the APIs and displayed all possible values, something like this (take it only as a bare example!):

as for your second question, i don't know, i didn't need such functionality

[alexbirkett]

That's a great bit of code right there:

	// open SyncML session
	TRAP(err,syncMLSession.OpenL());
	User::LeaveIfError(err);

You might want to do a bit of reading around CleanupClosePushL too.

Hi pavarang & all


Thanks to pavarang's sharing, i have succeeded in creating sync profiles in 3rd edition.

Just one question again. How can i set the port used for the host server?

[strike_noir]

its ok i have it worked out

RSyncMLConnection::SetServerURIL with http://yourserver:8080 will set the port to 8080

[Asif Nazir]

Hi,

I have created New Profile using RSyncMLDataSyncProfile succesfully and also sets

.Host address value in Connections Settings
.In Applications->Contacts-> i have set defaults values of
(i) Include in sync to "Yes"
(ii) Remote dataBase value to "Card"

After settings default values how can i Update its default Values of Applications->Contacts->
(i) Include in sync to "No"
