how to retrieve data from CTelephony

[Abhishek_karmakar]

Hello Everyone,
I have been trying to retrieve cellId by using CTelephony class . So far i have been able to do this. Its executing with no problems but its returning a wrong CellId everytime. i.e - '0'.. Please help

following are the code files ..
CellidDetector.h

And in the appuid i have added a new button where i am writing this code ..

	TUint cellId;
			TUint hasil;
			CCellidDetector* devCellidUtility = CCellidDetector::NewL();
			CleanupStack::PushL(devCellidUtility);
			hasil = devCellidUtility->GetNetworkCellId(cellId);
			CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(devCellidUtility);
			_LIT(KFormatString, "CellId : %d");
			TBuf <50> aString;
			aString.Format(KFormatString, hasil);
			
			
			
			CAknConfirmationNote* note1 = new (ELeave) CAknConfirmationNote( ETrue ); //Waiting
			note1->ExecuteLD(aString);

headers used..

#include <Etel3rdParty.h>	
#include <etelbgsm.h>

its returning the CellId as 0 ..

Please help ..
Many thanks ..

Hi,

Have you added the following capability in your mmp file.
Location, ReadDeviceData, ReadUserData

[vineet.jain]

i think the declaration of icellid variable would be like this:

CTelephony::TCallId iCallId;

not lik TUInt icallid

[Abhishek_karmakar]

hello kkrish/vineet,

Thank you for your replies. First what Krish said was correct. we have to add ReadDeviceData. and then we need to sign the application .I did it through OpenSighned and there for got a signed sis file .. which worked for me .

Thank you again for the support.
