Two E32Main methods - one for app and one for background server!

[raj8nokiaforum]

Hi,

I am trying to implement a background server which keeps listening for incoming calls and once there is one incoming call, it should launch the application. Also the server has to be autorun on phone reboot and running all the time.

Now for this, i have the following code snippet

GLDEF_C TInt E32Main() 
    {
	__UHEAP_MARK;
	CTrapCleanup* cleanup = CTrapCleanup::New(); 
	TRAPD(error,StartL()); 
	delete cleanup; 
	__UHEAP_MARKEND;
	return 0;
    }

The ui application also has the same prototype of the E32Main method, GLDEF_C TInt E32Main()

And i have a .rss file by the name of UID3 of the app like EFC3B7DB0.rss and has following code in it

RESOURCE STARTUP_ITEM_INFO test
	{
	executable_name = "c:\\sys\\bin\\Aserver.exe";
	recovery = EStartupItemExPolicyNone;
	}

Issue:

Since there are two E32Mains now, i am getting multiple definition of E32Main error. How do i get rid of this?

Can anybody suggest something?

Thanks
Raj

While compiling which project you get this error, server app or UI app?

[raj8nokiaforum]

I have both of them in the same project. server app is in engine directory of the app and ui is in ui. Do i have to do that in separate apps? Do they need to have different UIDs? Is that compulsory?

[raj8nokiaforum]

Yes they have to have different UID3s. The server exe has to run all the time in background and auto start on reboot. Do we need a protected range UID for this? Is that a must for app to work on those capabilities??

[vineet.jain]

Yes no matter how many exe's are there in the application, each one has to have a protected range of UID if they are intended for commercial selling purpose, other you won't be able to sign the app.

You can separate the two exe's(server & UI) & set the server app to auto-start mode.

Can't we test the auto start and background running behavior with unprotected range UID because the app is still under development?

Ahh my mistake, i misunderstood the question. yes you can test the auto-start feature with unprotected range UID's as well but the app should not be self signed(should be signed with dev-cert/key)

k thanks. i will try and get back in here.

k the background exe works now.

now i want this exe to listen to voip incoming calls. does the CTelephony class listens to such events?

if not, any other suggestion to achieve this?

[vineet.jain]

I don't think CTelephony does that(it can only listen for normal voice calls).You must be having some method in the voip implementation which does that(?).
