Setting default APN for RealOne Player

[soniatm]

Hi,

I'm writing an app that uses the RealOne Player to stream. By default there is no APN on the

phone suitable for streaming, so I've created one. However, I want to avoid the Default

Access Point menu when Real Player is called.

I have tried setting the phone's default apn, in the hopes that Real will use that, but I

don't seem to be able to manage it.

Using the iap id returned from CApDataHandler::CreateFromDataL, I have called

CApDataHandler::SetAsDefaultL and also tried inserting a new record in the comm db's

preference table. Both are giving me errors that I don't know how to solve. SetAsDefaultL

gives -6 (KErrArgument). InsertConnectionPreferenceL gives -1 (KErrNotFound). My code is

below.


I have also tried CCommsDatabase::SetGlobalSettingL( TPtrC(ASK_USER_BEFORE_DIAL), TFalse );

which I read somewhere would turn off the prompting for all connections, but it doesn't seem

to have had any effect.

Can anyone tell me how to remove the menu?

Thanks,
Sonia.


void myIAP::SetDefault(TUint32 iapId, CCommtestContainer* iContainer) const
{
CCommsDatabase* comDB=CCommsDatabase::NewL(EDatabaseTypeIAP);
CApDataHandler* ApDataHandler = CApDataHandler::NewLC(*comDB);

TRAPD(errorcode, ApDataHandler->SetAsDefaultL(iapId,EIspTypeInternetOnly));

// report error code (-6)
_LIT(KStr,"errorcode:");
TBuf16<50> str(KStr);
str.AppendNum(errorcode);
iContainer->iToDoLabel->SetTextL(str);

CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();
delete comDB;
}

void myIAP::SetDefault2(TUint32 iapId, CCommtestContainer* iContainer) const
{
CCommsDatabase* comDB = CCommsDatabase::NewL(EDatabaseTypeIAP);

CCommsDbConnectionPrefTableView* prefView = comDB->OpenConnectionPrefTableLC(ECommDbConnectionDirectionOutgoing);

// start creating new record
CCommsDbConnectionPrefTableView::TCommDbIapConnectionPref aPref;

aPref.iRanking = 1; // I also tried 0
aPref.iDirection = ECommDbConnectionDirectionOutgoing;
aPref.iDialogPref = ECommDbDialogPrefDoNotPrompt;

CCommsDbConnectionPrefTableView::TCommDbIapBearer bearer;
bearer.iBearerSet = ECommDbBearerGPRS;
bearer.iIapId = iapId;
aPref.iBearer = bearer;

// insert it
TRAPD(errorcode, prefView->InsertConnectionPreferenceL(aPref));
// report error code (-1)
_LIT(KStr,"errorcode:");
TBuf16<50> str(KStr);
str.AppendNum(errorcode);
iContainer->iToDoLabel->SetTextL(str);

CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();
delete comDB;
}

Hi,
I am sorry, but the RealOne has the APN set in its own config file. So it is impossible to set it via some function calls. But it would be possible to modify this config file (it is a plain text file). But you would have to ensure that the RealOne is not running at the moment you make the modifications since this file is read only at the RealOne startup.
The file is placed in the c:\System\Data directory and I am not sure about its name but I think it is RealPlayer.ini (or RealPlayer.dat)
