RConnection::Start() and RConnection::Stop() causes ViewSrv 11

[er.khalid]

Hi All,

In my app. RConnection::Start() and RConnection::Stop() sometimes causes ViewSrv 11.
While searching this found a post @ http://mikie.iki.fi/symbian/faq/faq23.html

There are numerous async functions without a corresponding cancel
(RFile::Write, CObexClient::Connect, RConnection::Start). Since
some of these requests might take an indefinite time to complete
it's really painful - you might get a ViewSrv 11 panic just by
trying to cancel an action. Some of them can be worked around,
but none of those workarounds are documented.

Can any buddy suggest me workaround for RConnection::Start, to avoid ViewSrv 11?

Use the asynchronous variant of Start in an active object.

Hi wizard_hu_,

I am using asynchronous variant of Start, only.

Hey, maybe a little late, but I would try using the rude way of stopping the connection (ie. passing RConnection::EStopAuthoritative to Stop()). I seem to have the same problem when the connection is bad. Stopping the connection gently just takes too much time and since it's synchronous it makes ViewSrv complain.

When I try to Cancel() the RConnection::Start() , I got panic ViewSrv 11 .

Use the asynchronous variant of Start in an active object.

I use the following function.
void RConnection::Start(TConnPref &aPref, TRequestStatus &aStatus);
void RConnection::Start(TRequestStatus &aStatus);

What should I do, if I want to cancel the asynchronous call ?

You can check RConnection::Close() & RConnection::Stop()
