CLogFilter with KLogShortMessageEventTypeUid

[elviin]

Hi guys,
I'm having problems with this enum value. I can catch all events using e.g. KLogCallEventTypeUid but if I switch to KLogShortMessageEventTypeUid it is not catching any event related to sms's. The sms log entries are still present in the log folder (Tools->Log->go to second tab).

    iLogClient = CLogClient::NewL( iFsSession );
    iRecentLogView = CLogViewRecent::NewL( *iLogClient );
    iLogFilterIngoingSms = CLogFilter::NewL();
    iLogFilterOutgoingSms = CLogFilter::NewL();
    
    iLogFilterIngoingCall = CLogFilter::NewL();
    iLogFilterOutgoingCall = CLogFilter::NewL();

    iLogFilterList = new (ELeave) CLogFilterList();
    
    TBuf<KLogMaxDirectionLength> directionOut;
    iLogClient->GetString(directionOut, R_LOG_DIR_OUT);
    TBuf<KLogMaxDirectionLength> directionIn;
    iLogClient->GetString(directionIn, R_LOG_DIR_IN);

    // using this filter does not filter any event related to sms's
    iLogFilterOutgoingSms->SetDirection(directionOut);
    iLogFilterOutgoingSms->SetEventType(KLogShortMessageEventTypeUid);
    
    iLogFilterIngoingSms->SetDirection(directionIn);
    iLogFilterIngoingSms->SetEventType(KLogShortMessageEventTypeUid);
    
    iLogFilterOutgoingCall->SetDirection(directionOut);
    iLogFilterOutgoingCall->SetEventType(KLogCallEventTypeUid);

    iLogFilterIngoingCall->SetDirection(directionIn);
    iLogFilterIngoingCall->SetEventType(KLogCallEventTypeUid);
    
    // if I use composed filters, again only calls are properly fitlered
    iLogFilterList->AppendL(iLogFilterOutgoingSms);
    iLogFilterList->AppendL(iLogFilterIngoingSms);
    iLogFilterList->AppendL(iLogFilterOutgoingCall);
    iLogFilterList->AppendL(iLogFilterIngoingCall);

I'm using filters with iRecentLogView:

iRecentLogView->SetRecentListL(KLogNullRecentList, *iLogFilterList, iStatus)

Should I use another api instance like iLogViewEvent->SetFilterL(*iLogFilter,iStatus)? What is the relation between CLogViewEvent and CRecentLogView, it seems that just iRecentLogView->Event(). Can I get the sms log entry with:

iRecentLogView->PreviousL(iStatus)

?

I need online notification about events in the log. And I need to observe bothe the recent and normal events. Since CLogViewEvent and CLogViewRecent issue two different requests, it looks like I must implement two different AO's. This code is from Nokia wiki: I hope the CLogViewEvent is capable to catch the KLogShortMessageEventTypeUid events.

void CLogExEngine::ReadEventsL()
	{	
	Cancel();

	// ETrue if there are any events in the log view
	if(iLogViewEvent->SetFilterL(*iLogFilter,iStatus))
	{
		// set this active object active to get the events 
		// from the main event database, see RunL()
		iTask = EGetEvent;
		SetActive();
	}
//	else
//	{  // No any events in the log view
//		iTask=ENoEvent;
//		SetActive();
//	}
	// If there are no events in the main event database, 
	// do nothing and return
	}
	
// ----------------------------------------------------
// CLogExEngine::ReadRecentEventsL()
// Reads recents events from main event database
// ----------------------------------------------------
//
void CLogExEngine::ReadRecentEventsL()
	{	
	Cancel();

	// ETrue if there are any events in the log view
	if(iLogViewRecent->SetRecentListL(KLogNullRecentList, iStatus))
		{
		// set this active object active to get the events 
		// from the main event database, see RunL()
		iTask = EGetRecent;
		SetActive();
		}
	// If there are no events in the main event database, 
	// do nothing and return
	}

I'll try this.

So instead of CLogViewRecent I had to use CLogViewEvent. I have created another AO with iLogFilterList described below. The AO using CLogViewEvent is in fact copy of the AO with CLogViewRecent except these changes:

Registration of the filter:

    if(iLogViewEvent)
    {       
        iState = EReadingLog;
        iLogViewEvent->Cancel();
        //set here the filter 
        if( iLogViewEvent->SetFilterL(*iLogFilterList, iStatus) )
        {
            SetActive();
        }
        else
        {
            StartMonitorL();
        }
    }

AND DELETION of the event:

    if ( iLogViewEvent )
    {
        iState = EDeletingEvent;
        if ( iLogClient )
        {
            const_cast< CLogEvent& > ( iLogViewEvent->Event() ).SetFlags( KLogFlagsMask | KLogEventRead );
            TLogId tmpId = iLogViewEvent->Event().Id(); 
            iLogClient->DeleteEvent( tmpId, iStatus );
            
            SetActive();
        }
    }

It works. I had such a notion that sms log is not caught as the recent event. It is not described in the documentation. You must have registered also the devicewrite capability.
