counting problem

[maheskumar]

hello friends...
i am confused with the bellow code
RPointerArray<HBufC>* iDisplaycontent = new RPointerArray<HBufC>;
HBufC* CopyText = aText.Alloc();
iDisplaycontent->Append(CopyText);

TInt x = iDisplaycontent->Count();
TBuf<8> temp;
temp.Num(x);
log.Write(temp);

if(iDisplaycontent->Count()> 2)
{
log.Write(_L("Hello World6"));
logger->DoWrite();
}
my target is whenever the execution comes to the iDisplaycontent->Append(CopyText);
line my count value should be increased ..that means the data will be appended in that location.....but the problem is whenever the data are appending onthe iDisplaycontent->Append(CopyText);
the count value always showing ONE(1) value i dont know why ?i think the new datas are overwriting the existing data ... please anyone give correct solution for it...........i want array of data should be stored in the iDisplaycontent->append(aCopyText).

In this form your code seems to be a single continuous piece. Assuming this version, you always create a new array, and append a single item to it. Count=1 seems to be fine though.

More important notes:
- R-classes should rather be used as immediate variables, like "RPointerArray<HBufC> displaycontent;"
- RPointerArray can not properly free HBufC
- Symbian provides dedicated string-array classes, which can properly free themselves, CDesCArray is the base class and CDesCArrayFlat/Seg are the actual types

HELLO SIR........
then how to append the many item?

[wizard_hu_]

Create the array only once, somewhere else...
Since you call it iDisplaycontent, you probably wanted to have it as a member variable, for example.

[maheskumar]

sir please suggest where to create the array?...

[wizard_hu_]

If you are using some CDesCArray, it should be created in ConstructL. If you are using a direct RPointerArray member variable, it is created implicitly, though you can provide it with some additional parameters in the constructor's initializer list if you want.

hello sir ,.
now i declared RPointerArray in construct method like...iDisplaycontent= new RPointerArray<HBufC>;...even though the count value does not increased... what to do ?

[wizard_hu_]

I can not imagine what you are doing. Show some code.

[maheskumar]

hello sir this is my code ...
EXPORT_C void CSRMLogger::Write(const TDesC16& aText)
{
CSRMLogger* logger = Logger();

HBufC* CopyText = aText.Alloc();
if(logger)
{
iDisplaycontent->Append(CopyText);
static TInt x = iDisplaycontent->Count();
if(iDisplaycontent->Count()>2)
{
logger->DoWrite();
}
else
{
Logger();
}
}
}
this is the write method for log.... my target is... i dont want to write the log directly into file... instead of that first i want to store the log into buffer(Using RPointerArray)when the buffer is full then only the log should go into file in the particular drive.....for that purpose i used count() to count the no .of log in the buffer..but the count value is always ONE(1).this is my problem....please help me....

Programming is a skill.
But so is thinking about what the problem could be logically when you have an issue.
What are the possibilities?
1) There is a defect in RPointerArray itself.
2) There is a mistake in the way you are appending things into RPointerArray.
3) There is a mistake in the logic of your program.


1) is unlikely seeing as this code is many many years old.

So what to do next then?

Well how about writing a simple bit of code to check 2).
Why don't you create an array, then append two things to it and see what the count is. If the count is still 1, then you know you are not using it properly.
If its 2 then you know your program's logic is incorrect.
