[moved] Add jar file inside the PKG file with another sis file

[aamitgupta]

Hi,

I want to add a Jar file inside the PKG file like Embedded sis file concept, in my PKG file i want to add 1 sis file and 1 Jar file and create a sis file which install both the files sis and Jar in sequence. I can add 2 sis file and can install in sequence but not able to add jar file. Please anybody have any idea.

I don't think that the sis installer handles installation of jars.
An option could be to run a small exe during installation of sis that installs the jar and exits.
You can try by just opening the jar with the browser, I think that this will trigger the jar installer to run.

You don't have to open web browser to install Java application, it is enough to open it as document. Here is small code:

			RApaLsSession iApaLsSession;

			iApaLsSession.Connect();
			CleanupClosePushL(iApaLsSession);

			TThreadId threadId;

			// Start document and let Symbian to handle the rest
			iApaLsSession.StartDocument(
				strFileName, 
				threadId);	

			CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(1);

Thanks, but i dont want to launch browser, i want to install Jar file through sis file.

I will add the Jar file in the PKG file, and make a sis file and install on phone.

i tried following way

; List of languages supported
&EN
; List of localised vendor names
%{"Symbian Software Ltd."}
; Single, non-localised (global) vendor name
:"Symbian Software Ltd."
; Installation header.
#{"Minimal application"},(0xE8000091),1,0,0
IF NOT package(0x2000E847)
; install minimal.sis only if not already installed
@"test.sis", (0x2000E847)
endif
"Neo-CONTROL.jar"-"!:\temp\Neo-CONTROL.jar", FILEMIME, "application/java-archive"

so test.sis installs successful but when jar file installs i get "Unable to start operation, Installer already in use"

Is there any way to install jar file like embedded sis file concept.

With about 1200 posts on this forum I would expect you to know the resources offered by this site well enough to find what you need. There is at least one Wiki article on this subject, referenced in a thread that can be found 4 threads below this one. See http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ad.php?t=46331

Thanks for help, i have solve my problem. but now i have another question on Embedded sis file.

I made a GUI application with Protected UID and set it PKG header TYPE=SA.
#{"TestEmbeddedPkg"},(0x2002BAAF),1,2,3,TYPE=SA

And now i add another sis (Embedded sis file) file, which also has type=SA and having protected UID.i add following in my PKG file.

; install minimal.sis only if not already installed
@"Embedded.sis", (0x2000E847)

Now when i install the sis file on my device it installs both files.

But when i uninstall TestEmbeddedPkg file from APP Manager, my Embedded sis file application also removed from APP Manager. But if i removed Embedded application from App Manager, the main Application is remain on the App Manager.

I read in SDK help under Embedding SIS Files topic "The benefit of using SA-type SIS files is that the implementation is relatively easy. The downside is that the embedded SIS file is visible in the Application Manager. Thus, the user may accidentally remove the file."

So please any body help if i am doing wrong or this is the behavior of Embedded sis file concept that if i removed the main application from App Manager, the Embedded application also be removed. Please help me.

Yes, as the documentation quoted also says, that is the normal behaviour of the embedded SIS files.
