Quick i need help

[amradel]

Dear All;
I am developing application that uses sensor APIs
i used it successfully but my application will be for both 3rd and 5th
in 3rd like 6620 my application doesn't completely work as the libraries of Sensor APIs are only for E66 , FP2 And 5th
And i am reading many threads that suggest to create ECOM Plug-in but there is lot of problem i need to know :
1- How To Build My ECOM Plugin itself that will contain both Sensor APIs used in 5th And in 5500????
2- is there any way to catch system error -1 that appears on application opening on 5500(If using 5th API)????
please i need avery quick help
Thanks in advance;

The easy way out is to build your application twice, with S60 3rd Edition MR SDK and with S60 5th Edition SDK, and then create one SIS file which installs the right binary on the right phone.

; if 5.0 device
if package(0x1028315F)
"myapp_5_withsensor.exe" - "!:\sys\bin\myapp.exe"
else
"myapp_3_nosensor.exe" - "!:\sys\bin\myapp.exe"
endif

Alternatively you can learn about ECOM plug-ins and employ them to ensure that you can use either of the sensor APIs a device may support.

hi ltomuta;
first of all thanks for your quick reply....
second your suggestion is simple and efficient
third Is ECOM could help me in my questions????
At last thank you again;

ECOM is a plug-in framework and would help you in as much as providing you the means of having multiple implementations of your sensor engine and then dynamically deciding which one to use. Whether it is the best approach in this case or not its questionable. after all, on any given device you will only use one sensor API (if sensor at all supported) so any one plug-in at any given time. Which means that you don't really need the framework, instead you can have a statically linked DLL, a different version of which is then installed on device using similar logic as in my previous post. In other words you move the DLL selection logic from run-time (ECOM) to install time (standard DLL).

hi ;
i found another problem
in N76 FP1 No Sensor APIs Supported so it gives system error -1 so ; how can i jum it
thanks in advance;

[ltomuta]

Don't install the version of the app which uses sensors on that device.
