starting a new application

[lokesh_kumar_s]

hi,
i started the new application using the following code

const TInt KUid = 0xxxxxxxxx;
TUid id( TUid::Uid( KUid ) );
TUid msgapid(TUid::Uid( _UID3 ));


TApaTaskList taskList( CEikonEnv::Static()->WsSession() );
TApaTask task = taskList.FindApp( id );

if ( task.Exists() )
{
#if 1 //capabilities:SwEvent
_LIT8(params,""); //capabilities:SwEvent
task.SendMessage( msgapid, params); // Send a Uid to that will callback.
task.BringToForeground();
#else
//Close
EndTask(id,100);

//Launch
HBufC* param = HBufC::NewLC( 256 );
param->Des().AppendNum(msgapid.iUid);
RApaLsSession appArcSession;
User::LeaveIfError(appArcSession.Connect()); // connect to AppArc server
TThreadId idt;
appArcSession.StartDocument( *param, TUid::Uid( KUid ), idt );
appArcSession.Close();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // param
#endif

}else{

//Launch
HBufC* param = HBufC::NewLC( 256 );
param->Des().AppendNum(msgapid.iUid);
RApaLsSession appArcSession;
User::LeaveIfError(appArcSession.Connect()); // connect to AppArc server
TThreadId idt;
appArcSession.StartDocument( *param, TUid::Uid( KUid ), idt );
appArcSession.Close();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // param

what is the 2nd application type ?

[savaj]

You can access it using CCommandLineArguments.

[skumar_rao]

You can access it using CCommandLineArguments.

only if it is a Console application

[lokesh_kumar_s]

hi skumar_rao,
2nd application type is also exe. it has user interface ,document class.
Not console application

[skumar_rao]

hi skumar_rao,
2nd application type is also exe
Not console application

if it is not a .app then you can follow what savaj has suggested.

[lokesh_kumar_s]

in .mmp file i see this
TARGETTYPE exe
but it is having

SOURCE Example.cpp
SOURCE ExampleApplication.cpp
SOURCE ExampleAppView.cpp
SOURCE ExampleAppUi.cpp
SOURCE ExampleDocument.cpp

how can access do you know any example.

can you show your Example.cpp. I doubt that it is not a v2.x application

Note: That this is not right section for your problem. try using correct section in future.

If it is a 2.x Application then should be a TARGETTYPE APP not a Exe.

[lokesh_kumar_s]

hi savaj,
how can i see my application version .

[wizard_hu_]

If you mean the version you specify in the .pkg file, the required API is not part of the SDK-s.
But you can always create a version number in the code as well, and update it manually or via some script.
And it is also possible to install the .pkg file itself - for example into your private path -, then you can extract the version number from it.

i see this comment ;Supports Series 60 v 3.0 in pkg file is this is 3 version application if so, s kumar said that to post in another section. where do i need to post. can u please tell me how to start an new application in the 3 rd version of symbian

[lokesh_kumar_s]

atleast can you please tell me where can i post the thread.I am not getting any help.
my question is simple how can i use the *param parameter in the new application.the new application Target type as specified in the mmp file is "exe" but it is having Application,ApplicationDocument,ApplicationUI,ApplicationView Classes,and is running fine.is this much information is not enough for deciding the version number.if it is not version 2 application then which version it is? how can i use *param in that version.if u know any code example simply redirect me to that it will also be helpful.please help me.

[wizard_hu_]

You are probably reading an older Symbian/S60 book, or so.
Starting from Symbian 9.0 / S60 3rd edition GUI applications also became .exe files, and the .app extension became deprecated.

If you are really interested, it is possible to create applications which can be compiled on both the old and the new platforms.
A sample .mmp file can be found here: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ad.php?t=82674
And the E32Xy methods are mentioned here: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...d.php?t=151944
There should be more complete examples too, just they happened a long time ago, and the search engine does not really want to reveal them apparently.
