AutoStart.mdl does not work in N series

[vasant21]

hi all,


i have one application which is automatically started when the phone is turned on. Now this project was built in version 7.0 and 8.0 and it was working fine.

when i tried to install it on N - 90 the autostart feature was not working.It means that when the phone was turned on the application was not started automatically.

Here is my autostart file:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <apmrec.h>
#include <apmstd.h>
#include "cl_autostart.h"

const TUid KUidemAclAutostart={0x0FF22CD8};

CclAutostart::CclAutostart()
:CApaDataRecognizerType(KUidemAclAutostart, CApaDataRecognizerType::ENormal)
{
iCountDataTypes = 1;
}

TUint CclAutostart::PreferredBufSize()
{
// no buffer recognition yet
return 0;
}

TDataType CclAutostart::SupportedDataTypeL(TInt /*aIndex*/) const
{
return TDataType();
}

void CclAutostart:oRecognizeL(const TDesC& /*aName*/, const TDesC8&
/*aBuffer*/)
{
// this function is never called
}

void CclAutostart::StartThread()
{
TInt res = KErrNone;

//create a new thread for starting our application
RThread * startAppThread;
startAppThread = new RThread();

User::LeaveIfError( res = startAppThread->Create(
_L("Autostart starter"),
CclAutostart::StartAppThreadFunction,
KDefaultStackSize,
KMinHeapSize,
KMinHeapSize,
NULL,
EOwnerThread) );

startAppThread->SetPriority(EPriorityNormal/*EPriorityLess*/);

startAppThread->Resume();

startAppThread->Close();
}


TInt CclAutostart::StartAppThreadFunction(TAny* /*aParam*/)
{

//wait 5 seconds...
RTimer timer; // The asynchronous timer and ...
TRequestStatus timerStatus; // ... its associated request status
timer.CreateLocal(); // Always created for this thread.
// get current time (microseconds since 0AD nominal Gregorian)
TTime time;
time.HomeTime();
// add ten seconds to the time
TTimeIntervalSeconds timeIntervalSeconds(90);
time += timeIntervalSeconds;
// issue and wait
timer.At(timerStatus,time);
User::WaitForRequest(timerStatus);


// create a TRAP cleanup
CTrapCleanup * cleanup = CTrapCleanup::New();
TInt err;
if( cleanup == NULL )
{
err = KErrNoMemory;
}
else
{
TRAP( err, StartAppThreadFunctionL() );
}
delete cleanup;


if (err!=KErrNone)
User::Panic(_L("autostart"), err);
return err;
}

void CclAutostart::StartAppThreadFunctionL()
{
#ifdef __WINS__
const TUid starter_uid= { 0x02338B55 };
RApaLsSession ls;
User::LeaveIfError(ls.Connect());
CleanupClosePushL(ls);
_LIT(filen, ""); // dummy
TThreadId dummy;
User::LeaveIfError( ls.StartDocument(filen, starter_uid, dummy) );
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();
#else
TFileName fnAppPath = _L("\\system\\programs\\npln.exe");
RProcess server;

CleanupClosePushL(server);
User::LeaveIfError(server.Create(fnAppPath, _L("")));
server.Resume();

CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();
#endif

}

EXPORT_C CApaDataRecognizerType* CreateRecognizer()
{
CApaDataRecognizerType* thing = new CclAutostart();

//start thread for our application
CclAutostart::StartThread();
return thing;
}

// DLL entry point
GLDEF_C TInt E32Dll(TDllReason /*aReason*/)
{
return KErrNone;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now my question is that will this not work in n-90 ( nseries ), if yes then how can i make this autostart feature in n-series.

Whether i should complile ( build ) the project in sdk 9
or i have to change my approach.

Please throw some light on it.
Thanks and waiting for replies..

Have a look at the Startup List Management API in the help file.

If you are are still adament about using a recognizer it must use a UID in the protected range and must have protserv capability. Again consult the documentation on how to port recognizers to S60 3rd Edition, in particular these are implemented as ECOM plugins
