KERN-EXEC 3 on AknIconUtils::CreateIconL

[digitalsol]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to call AknIconUtils::CreateIconL from different thread and from a standalone class (which does not extend anything). Unfortunately the CreateIconL method throws KERN-EXEC 3.

Anyone who can help me here ?

Thanks

Because of the separate thread it probably requires you to have your own RFbsSession Connect-ed. Perhaps some other things too, you will see if it helps.

Thanks for the answer.

here is my initialization :

	User::LeaveIfError(iFbsSession.Connect());
	User::LeaveIfError(iWs.Connect());
	
	iScreenDevice = new(ELeave) CWsScreenDevice(iWs);
	iScreenDevice->Construct();
	TPixelsTwipsAndRotation curPixTwipsRot;
	iScreenDevice->GetDefaultScreenSizeAndRotation(curPixTwipsRot);
	TRect screenRect = curPixTwipsRot.iPixelSize;
	
	iWg = iWs;
	User::LeaveIfError(iWg.Construct(reinterpret_cast<TUint32>(&iWg), EFalse));
	iWg.SetOrdinalPosition(10, ECoeWinPriorityAlwaysAtFront);	
	
	User::LeaveIfError(iScreenDevice->CreateContext(iGc));
	
	iWindow = iWs;
	User::LeaveIfError(iWindow.Construct(iWg, reinterpret_cast<TUint32>(&iWg) + 1));
	iWindow.SetBackgroundColor(TRgb(0xff, 0xfa, 0xfa));
	iWindow.Activate();
	iWindow.SetExtent(TPoint(0, 0), TSize(screenRect.Width(), screenRect.Height()));
	iWindow.SetVisible(ETrue);
	
	iGc->Activate(iWindow);

	RWsSession iWs;
	RWindowGroup iWg;
	CWindowGc* iGc;
	RWindow iWindow;
	CWsScreenDevice* iScreenDevice;
	RFbsSession iFbsSession;

I tried to add RFbsSession but it still throws KERN-EXEC 3.

The RFbsSession thing was the only one I am aware of, but you can check if AknIconUtils is present in the open source Symbian code.

I did it, now I use the following code

	CEikonEnv* env = new CEikonEnv();
	TRAPD(err, env->ConstructL());
	User::LeaveIfError(iFbsSession.Connect(env->FsSession()));

Thanks for the advice.

Best Regards

And another question, is it possible to access the resources from a different thread ? I need to access few localizable strings. I guess I'll need to pass them beforehand.

[wizard_hu_]

Although it is a bit redundant (since the resources are loaded in your main thread already), as a quick workaround, you could try using CCoeEnv::AddResrourceFileL on your newly created CEikonEnv. BaflUtils::NearestLanguageFile can help in picking the right file (if you are supporting multiple languages).

I see. Thank you.
