SetCharacterSetL has no effect

[ganenko]

I'm sending sms using SendAs api.

#include <charconv.h> // for KCharacterSetIdentifierUcs2

RSendAsMessage 		m_sendAsMessageServer;
...
m_sendAsMessageServer.SetBodyTextL(*ptrMessage);
m_sendAsMessageServer.SetCharacterSetL(KCharacterSetIdentifierUcs2);

Message is unicode string (factually it is mix of russian and english).
Message is send well and i have descent message in "send" folder of my phone. But send message comes damaged, like:
"??????? some thing on english".
Why does KCharacterSetIdentifierUcs2 has no effect on my message?

Yep, I actually didn't even know that RSendAsMessage has SetCharacterSetL function, at least it did not have that with 9.1 OS, anyway, the MTM would be more flexible way on doing it anyway.

Hi guys,

I wonder there's no example of sending email which is really working.
SDK and Wiki examples use RSendAs which works wrong with Unicode messages.
Could you guys post something for sending emails exactly?

BTW, SetCharacterSetL leaves on S60v5 with -47 code - function not supported.

Hi folks,

I see the thread was died.
It's a very pity.

I took a little investigation into source codes of Symbian.

It looks like RSendAsMessage::SetCharacterSetL invokes (through a number of calls) CBaseMtm::Extension_ method. At the base class it looks like

  ...
  case KUIDCharacterSet: // <---------- here is the case 
    {
      ret = KErrExtensionNotSupported;
    }
    break;
  ...

Found only one overridden version in CSmsClientMtm class.
I guess it works for SMS.
But not for emails.


Yucca,
Does it mean sending emails through MTM will have the same bug with setting character set?
What do you think?

I have the same issue that Chinese script cannot be shown correctly in sending sms even after SetCharacterSetL is called on S60 5th


Is there any update for the issue?

If it's a defect of RSendAs API, where can we raise a defect?
