How to make auto start widget?

[Tanya]

Hi All of you

I want to make auto start widget application, I know that how to close widget from widget application, but how to start that application after closed or after installation?

Please if anybody knows about this concept tell me or if you have any idea to implement this than tell me.

Regards,
Tanya

Hi Tanya,

there is not an "autostart" feature for WRT widgets. Only exception is when a widget is added to homescreen: in this case, it'll start automatically as the device boots up.

Anyway, to achieve your result, you most probably have to write a small Symbian C++ app, that embeds your widget, and that launches it when it's needed.

Hi

Thanks your suggestions, doing work second one, but get some problem.

-Only exception is when a widget is added to homescreen: in this case, it'll start automatically as the device boots up.

how to do this way, please tell me.

	SwiUI::RSWInstLauncher iLauncher; 
	if (iLauncher.Connect() == KErrNone)
	{
	iLauncher.Install( path ); // path = widget(.wgz) application path
	iLauncher.Close();
	}

I am able to install .WGZ file from symbian application,
but do not able to open/launch/execute widget from symbian application.

have you any idea?

Hi

I tried following way also but not worked.
Is there any mistake? Please tell me.

			TInt retCode = 0;
			_LIT(KMyExeFile,"APIBridgeTest.wgz");
			CApaCommandLine* cmdLine = CApaCommandLine::NewLC();
			cmdLine->SetExecutableNameL(KMyExeFile);//*iAppList[aIndex]->iFullName);

			cmdLine->SetCommandL(EApaCommandRun);
			RApaLsSession ls;
			User::LeaveIfError(ls.Connect());
			retCode = ls.StartApp(*cmdLine);
			//ls.Close();
			CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(cmdLine);
