How to display SMS in my application ?

[madhurjya.pb]

Hi,

I new to Symbian. I need a little help.

Could anyone kindly tell me what is the proper way to display an SMS from my application? How can I use the default message viewer to view my SMSs? I am creating my own Inbox and sent message folders. I am using S60 3rd edition SDK for Symbian C++. My target device in N95.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nitesh,

Sorry, again. The example is a nice one. But not exactly what I was looking for. OK, I will get the message in a file. But, how should I display it on a view. You, told me to show it on app view. that means on CAknView class container ??..

actually I wanted to show it as it looks in case of default message viewer. Could you kindly tell what API or class I need for that.

With Thanks

You can try RichTextEditor. Search for "CEikRichTextEditor" on Wiki.

I am facing the same problem...
I have to display the sms in a view. I have the sms's in an (user defined "TArrayElements") array.
class TArrayElements: public CBase
{
public:
TBuf<100> ismsText;
TBuf<15> ismsNumber;
TBuf<20> iTmsvId;
};

I am able to retrieve the sms but the application crashes while i try to display it in the View.
Please help

Get the error message: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ded_panic_code
If you are experimenting with DrawText, make sure that you have set a font (CGraphicsContext::UseFont, a quick way for getting fonts is using CEikonEnv::Static()->TitleFont() or some other getter).

[PallaviMajgaokar]

It says,
E32User CBase 21...
I put logs in the application.
But i am not able to find the exact point of failure.
It crashes some time after DoActivateL.

[wizard_hu_]

E32USER-CBase 21 has a very specific description, check it in the SDK Help.

[PallaviMajgaokar]

I am getting the error after i have deleted the array and the function (DoActivateL) is over.

void CHiddenSMSListBoxView::DoActivateL( 
		const TVwsViewId& /*aPrevViewId*/,
		TUid /*aCustomMessageId*/,
		const TDesC8& /*aCustomMessage*/ )
{
	SetupStatusPaneL();
	
				
	if ( iHiddenSMSListBox == NULL )
		{
		iHiddenSMSListBox = CreateContainerL();
		iHiddenSMSListBox->SetMopParent( this );
		AppUi()->AddToStackL( *this, iHiddenSMSListBox );
		} 
	
	CSMSTestAppUi* iSMSTestAppUi = static_cast<CSMSTestAppUi*>(iAvkonViewAppUi);
	TInt folderid = iSMSTestAppUi->BinaryToInt(iSMSTestAppUi->iFolderId);
	iSMSTestAppUi->log(_L("\nDoActivateL, folderId= "));
	iSMSTestAppUi->log(iSMSTestAppUi->iFolderId);
	CArrayFixFlat<TArrayElements>* array;
	array = new CArrayFixFlat<TArrayElements> (1);
	iSMSTestAppUi->iSmsHandler->ReadHiddenFolders(folderid,array);
	
	TBuf<256> iIteamtext;
	TInt count=array->Count();
	iIteamtext.AppendNum(count);
	iSMSTestAppUi->log(_L("\nDoActivateL, Count= "));
	iSMSTestAppUi->log(iIteamtext);
	for(TInt i=0;i<count;i++)
	{
		iIteamtext.Zero();
		iIteamtext.Copy(_L("1\t"));
		iIteamtext.Append(array->At(i).ismsNumber);
		iIteamtext.Append(_L("\t"));
		iIteamtext.Append(array->At(i).ismsText);
		iIteamtext.Append(_L("\t"));
		iIteamtext.Append(array->At(i).iTmsvId);
		iSMSTestAppUi->log(_L("\nDoActivateL, iIteamtext= "));
		iSMSTestAppUi->log(iIteamtext);
		iHiddenSMSListBox->AddListBoxItemL(iHiddenSMSListBox->ListBox(),iIteamtext);
	}
	
	
	if(array)
		delete array;
	iSMSTestAppUi->log(_L("\n\nEnd of DoActivateL"));
	
}

In the log file, i did get the "End of DoActivateL" log.
But that was the last log that i got.

Do you have an icon array set? Remember that icons are numbered from 0, so if you have a single icon, 1 is already out of range.

[PallaviMajgaokar]

I am using

icons = new (ELeave) CAknIconArray( 0 );

[wizard_hu_]

That is an empty array so far, no index is going to be valid for that.
Two things:
- note that iTmsvId (what you append at the end) is also used as icon index, it can not work - even if you have some icons in the array
- if you do not have icons, you might find it easier to experiment with an icon-less listbox at the first time (CAknDoubleStyleListBox for example)
In both cases comment the line appending iTmsvId.

[PallaviMajgaokar]

Hi,
thanks.
It worked when i commented this:
iIteamtext.Append(array->At(i).iTmsvId);

I want to append the TmsvId arguement to the string that is passed in the AddListBoxItemL, is there any method to do so?
I am using CAknDoubleStyleListBox
Thanks

If you want it to be displayed, you can append it, just do not use a tabulator (append a space, or a hyphen, or both).
If you do not want it to be displayed (but you want to use it later) you should store it in an other array.
