How to get attachment without AllFiles

[jascco]

Hi,

Please excuse me for posting this again, but I really need to know how to get attachement in S60 3rd without using AllFiles capability?

Thanks

I want to know that too. Is this possible at all?

Yes, search for MMsvAttachmentManager in the help.

via MMsvAttachmentManager I can get an open RFile to the attachment. Am I then supposed to copy this to a non private location, then I also would have to take care of that temp file once the user is done viewing the attachment. If i just take the rfile and try to call RApaLsSession StartDocument() I am getting a "Already in Use" warning back.
What is the intended procedure of viewing an attachment on s603 ?

regards,

-Blizzz

Probably because this RFile is read-only, so you need copy it to other location.

Ok,
Here is my solution, like it or not =)

Find's .sis file from inbox which has mach to KMachSis literal and is received via BT. Also it's newest file which maches KMachSis. When file is found it's copied to C:\data so that it can be send forward. Sorry for poor commenting.

		CMsvSession* session = CMsvSession::OpenSyncL(*this);
		if(session)
		{
			TMsvSelectionOrdering sort;
			sort.SetShowInvisibleEntries(ETrue);
			sort.SetSorting(EMsvSortByDate);
			// Take a handle to the folder entry
			CMsvEntry* parentEntry = CMsvEntry::NewL(*session,KMsvGlobalInBoxIndexEntryId, sort);
			CleanupStack::PushL(parentEntry);
			// A selection of all BT entries
			CMsvEntrySelection* entries = parentEntry->ChildrenWithMtmL(KUidMsgTypeBt);
			CleanupStack::PushL(entries);
			
			
			//Process all entries
			for(TInt i = 0; i < entries->Count(); i++)
			{
				//Get entry
				CMsvEntry* btEntry = session->GetEntryL((*entries)[i]);
				CleanupStack::PushL(btEntry);
				//Then get entrys child
				CMsvEntrySelection* btChildren = btEntry->ChildrenL();
				CleanupStack::PushL(btChildren);
				
				TInt childc = btChildren->Count();
				if (childc>0)
				{
					for(TInt i=0; i<childc; i++)
					{
						TMsvId btAtt = (*btChildren)[i];
						btEntry->SetEntryL(btAtt);
					
						if (btEntry->HasStoreL())
						{
							CMsvStore* store = btEntry->ReadStoreL();
							CleanupStack::PushL(store);

							MMsvAttachmentManager& attMngr = store->AttachmentManagerL();
							TInt attcount = attMngr.AttachmentCount();
							for(TInt j=0; j<attcount; j++)
							{
								CMsvAttachment* attachment = attMngr.GetAttachmentInfoL(j);
								if(attachment->AttachmentName().Match(KMatchSis))
								{
									
									RFile file = attMngr.GetAttachmentFileL(j);
									TInt size;
									file.Size(size);
									
									TFileName copyfileName;
									copyfileName.Copy( _L("C:\\Data\\application.sis_"));
									RFile toFile;
									RFs iSession;
									iSession.Connect();
									TInt delerr = iSession.Delete(copyfileName);
									if(delerr == KErrNotFound || delerr == KErrNone)
									{
										toFile.Create(iSession,copyfileName,EFileWrite);
										HBufC8* bufferDes = NULL;
										bufferDes = HBufC8::NewLC(size);
										TPtr8 BDPointer(bufferDes->Des());
										User::LeaveIfError(file.Read(BDPointer, size));
										User::LeaveIfError(toFile.Write(BDPointer,size));
										toFile.Flush();
										toFile.Close();
										
										iFilePaths->AppendL(copyfileName);
										
									}
									else
									{

									}
									file.Close();
									iSession.Close();
									CleanupStack::Pop();//bufferDes

								}
							}
							CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(store);
						}
					}
				}
				CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(2);
			}				
			CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(2);
		}

Has anyone had any problems reading JPEG or SMIL attachments? I can get a file handle to most attachments using the code below however JPEG and SMIL files always return a file size of 0!

Could this be related to capabilities?

CMsvStore* store = child->ReadStoreL();
if(store!= NULL)
{

CleanupStack::PushL(store);
MMsvAttachmentManager& attManager = store->AttachmentManagerL();

// Cycle through the attachments
for(TInt i=0; i<attManager.AttachmentCount(); i++)
{
CMsvAttachment* attachment = attManager.GetAttachmentInfoL(i);
CleanupStack::PushL(attachment);

// get attachment's type, and test if it's of a file type
CMsvAttachment::TMsvAttachmentType attachType = attachment->Type();
TBool fileTypeAttachment =
(attachType == CMsvAttachment::EMsvFile
|| attachType == CMsvAttachment::EMsvLinkedFile);

// File attachment
if(fileTypeAttachment)
{
TInt nAttSize = attachment->Size();

if(nAttSize > 0)
{
RFile file = attManager.GetAttachmentFileL(i);

// Create a buffer to store attachment data
HBufC8* buf8 = HBufC8::NewL(nAttSize);

// Get a pointer to buffer
TPtr8 pBuf8 = buf8->Des();

// Read data into buffer
file.Read(pBuf8, nAttSize);

// DO SOMETHING WITH DATA ………


// cleanup
delete buf8;

// Close file handle
file.Close();
}
}
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(attachment);

}

CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(store);

}

Any ideas?
