Opening Messaging application on specific view/account

[pavarang]

Hello,
i've already posted a similar question in the Network group, i'm trying here too reformulating the question:
is it possible to programmatically open the Messaging application on the view of a specific account/mailbox?
I know how to find UID of Messaging app and launch it, but i suspect is not possible to open the view of a specific account/mailbox.
Can you confirm on this or alternatively put me in the right direction?
thank you in advance

hi,

use this link

get the messaging app uid and invoke it with ActivateLocalViewL

Hello Mateen,
thank you for your reply.
But in fact i already know how to retrieve app uid, what i'm missing is the aViewUid, the parameter of the ActivateLocalViewL() function...
since every user can add/create a different number of mailbox, i suspect that the messaging application dinamically creates views and their uids... ? so the question is, if using ActivateLocalViewL(), how can i retrieve such uid(s)? or is there another mechanism?
Of course i could rewrite an email client with messaging API, but the Messaging app is so nice for my job (and already done!)... :-)
thank you

I've found the solution, the trick is to use the ActivateViewL with the serviceId, something like:

TMsvId imapServiceId;
imapServiceId = iImapAccount.iImapService;

TUid serviceUid = TUid::Uid(imapServiceId);

const TUid KMessagingUid = { 0x100058C5 }; // Application Uid
const TUid KInboxViewUid = { 2 }; // View Uid of the external app

// Get the application UI from CEikonEnv
CImapProfileAppAppUi* appui = (static_cast<CImapProfileAppAppUi*>(CEikonEnv::Static()->AppUi()));
appui->ActivateViewL(TVwsViewId(KMessagingUid,KInboxViewUid),serviceUid,KNullDesC8);
