how flash player come foreground while phone ringing

[amit.mangal]

Hello,

I need to display flash on incoming ringing. What I've already done is handling ringing in RunL handling NotifyStatusChange. Animation rendering is not an issue too. However when incoming call occurs Telephone application becomes active (displaying caling phone number, etc.) Please advice how can I make my application still active (foreground) and/or become foreground instead on Telephone.Please advise
my code is

void CTelObserver::RunL()
    {
    if (iStatus == KErrNone)
        {
        CTelephony::TCallStatus status = iCallStatus.iStatus;
 
        switch (status)
            {
            case CTelephony::EStatusRinging:
                {
                
                 Cancel() ;
TThreadId id;           			 

RApaLsSession ls;
 
User::LeaveIfError(ls.Connect());
 
CleanupClosePushL(ls);
 
_LIT(KLitSwfFileToLaunch,"C:\\Data\\Images\\A.swf");  
//this is the private directory of your application
 
TFileName fileName(KLitSwfFileToLaunch);
 
RFs aFs;
 
User::LeaveIfError(aFs.Connect());
CleanupClosePushL(aFs);
 
User::LeaveIfError(aFs.ShareProtected());
 
RFile flashFile;
 
User::LeaveIfError(flashFile.Open(aFs,fileName, EFileShareReadersOrWriters ));
 
CleanupClosePushL(flashFile);

TInt succ = ls.StartDocument(flashFile,id,NULL);
 
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(3);  
 
aFs.Close();
 
flashFile.Close(); 
              		
                break;
                }
            default:
                {
                // Not interested in other events.
                break;
                }
            }
        // Start listening for the next call
        StartListening();
        }
    }

Well! i also tried to bring flash lite player to foreground using Python & M-Shell 4 months back, using the same approach i.e bind a callback to the telephone call, if call is incomming, then find the flash player window name, bring this window to foreground.Let me tell u the results :
1- It is not possible to bring Flash Player to foreground while u r in a call.I can confirm that the call to bring FL Player to foreground works fine coz when u end the call then u see that the FL Player is in foreground and m somewhat sure that same is the case with Symbian C++.
2- The only thing that can come to foreground in a call is a TopWindow (in Python) or RWindow in Symbian C++ which can have images and text on its body but not Flash Lite content.
Wish u luck..

Hi yucca
Some people are saying this is impossible.
is it possible or impossible ?

[symbianyucca]

I don't know enough of Flash application's implementation to say whether it would be possible or not.

[amit.mangal]

yucca this is not good i am querying here and you are giving me wrong answers and you don't knew the solution even you replied and waisted my 6 days this is not possible

[symbianyucca]

Sad that you see it that way, basically I did not give you wrong answers, I gave you options to try solving your problems. Basically with Research and development, you do need to try out different ways on solving problems, and some problems might be unsolveable. As some wise man said "I have not failed, I have found 10'000 ways that don't work". Anyway, if people here would only help on issues they are 100% sure would work in all possible situations, we would not see too many people answering here.

Hi Amit,
I 100% agree with Yucca (he is really a great helping man with lots of knowledge).However, I already suggested u that it is not possible according to my tests but i will give it a go once again, tonight and lets c what i get. Thanks for your patience.

Sorry Yucca,
I apologize for that please forgive me.
you are right you gave me ideas and i learn a lot with your help i was very disappoint yesterday due to loss of project please forgive me.

Hi Amit,
I did few tests again with the same algorithm under m-shell (m-shell is a programming languages developed in Symbian C++) i.e
1- Wait for a call
2- If call is incoming, launch flash lite //it works but flash lite player doesnt launch in foreground when phone ringing
3- Bring the player to foreground by API //it works but flash lite player doesn't come in foreground when phone ringing
Therefore, m unsuccessful in implementing this feature and have a feeling that may be this feature is not available for Flash Lite.
Conclusion:
I think the OS gives Call Application priority over any other application. If i remember correctly, than Symbian C++ also allow to set priority for ur applications may be u can give it a try .

No Harm done, I often blurt out things as they come to my mind... Hoping that the disappointment wont make you quit the nice world of mobile development.

The priority can be overwritten, been there done that, thus if the Flash player does not work, then I'm assuming it has internal coding putting it back to background, if there is active call on. Basically easy and wrong way on handling the "not-interrupting system stuff" that is one of the signing rules..

At least in my opinion, the flash should just stop when a call comes in, and after that if user etc. wishes to put it into front or something else, users should be able to do that..

Hi Yucca,
You really wrote out some interesting points here. Thanks.
