Sending Sms Problem(2nd edition)

[santu.paul@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I can send sms from my application in 2nd edition. But the problem i am facing is that from an active object when i try to send a sms then the message go the outbox and wait there till i do anything in the GUI of my application. If i do something like changing the view the message is then send. Can anyone tell for what reason it is happening? How can i solve it?

With thanks and regards,
Santu

I'm rather sure we have nice SMS example using MTMs that works with 2nd edition, so have you had look into it, and maybe you could consider using the codes from it, at bleast it should be working strait away..

Hi symbianyucca,

I am using that example. And it is working fine. Fine in the sense if i send sms from any class rather than an active one, it works fine. I am trying like this,

1) First i called a function of an active object from a function of an another class.

2) From that function of the active object i called SetActive(). And so it called the Run() function as it should be.

3) From Run() function i called an another function from where i send a sms. But there the problem is. When i send the sms it goes to the outbox and wait there until and unless i do something with the GUI of my application. But as soon as i do something on the GUI of my application it send the sms.

So, symbianyucca can you tell me is there any reason like we can't send sms from an active object or something like that related to active object and sending sms? Waiting for reply.

Regards,
Santu

You should read the Active object documentation before trying to use them, you should never call RunL by yourself, it is called by the active scheduler when the request has been completed..

[santu.paul@gmail.com]

I am not calling the Run function. I know that you should not call the Run function by yourself. I told i called the SetActive() function and this SetActive function called the Run function after completion.

I'm rather sure that the original Nokia example did work just fine, so mayeb you could see on what they have done differently in that example.

Hi symbianyucca,

That example is working fine for me also. But when i try to send sms from an active object the sms goes to the outbox and wait there.

You propably should chekc what kind of errors there are reported, at least for me if I have ever gotten a SMS stuck into outbox, it is always caused by some error..
