System error when I launch the app 3rd edition

[asmobease]

I port an application from series60 2nd edition to 3rd edition. I compile correctly the app in 3rd edition and when I launch the emulator, the app appears on the screen. But when i want to open it i obtain a "system error".
I don't know where the problem is. Maybe anybody has had the same problem...
Thanks!

It's just write "system error" on the screen...the app is not opened...

Create a file with the name "ErrRd" without any quotes in C:\Resource\ folder of your mobile. You should add an entry to your package file for creating this file, as file explorer has no permission on that folder.

This will give the error code instead of System error.

I have created the file ErrRd in the folder C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd\Epoc32\winscw\c\resource cause i use the emulator and i launch the emu, but nothing after the file ErrRd is empty.

Generally it will not write anything into the ErrRd. It'll remain empty. You can view the error code in the dialog instead.

The error code is not writting in the dialog.
Thanks you to try to help me.

In fact when i compile in my IDE (visual studio) I obtain this error

C:\\codeMobifindit\\mobifindit3rdEdition\\Findit\\Findit\\data\\mobifindit.rss(49) : Label not found
ERROR: RCMake failed: (Resources): rcomp.exe failed with code 1. (Reason: Incorrect function.)
Project : error PRJ0019: Un outil a retourné un code d'erreur à partir de "Exécution d'un événement avant génération..."

I don't understant bcause I have, in my rss file

RESOURCE LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO r_mobifindit_localisable_app_info
{
	short_caption = "mobifindit";
	caption_and_icon = 
	CAPTION_AND_ICON_INFO
	{
	caption = "mobifindit";
	number_of_icons = 1;
	icon_file = "\\resource\\apps\\mobifindit.mif";
	};
}

and in my _reg.rss file

#include <appinfo.rh>
#include <mobifindit.rsg>

UID2 KUidAppRegistrationResourceFile
UID3 0xF0001e64

RESOURCE APP_REGISTRATION_INFO
{
app_file="mobifindit";

localisable_resource_file = "\\resource\\apps\\mobifindit";
localisable_resource_id = R_MOBIFINDIT_LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO;

embeddability = KAppNotEmbeddable;
newfile=KAppDoesNotSupportNewFile;
}

I ignore this error and launch the emulator and i have a system error. When i compile with command line i don't have the error
C:\\codeMobifindit\\mobifindit3rdEdition\\Findit\\Findit\\data\\mobifindit.rss(49) : Label not found
but i have the system error when i launch the app

so i don't think that there is a problem with my resources

[asmobease]

I have this error
"Menu: System Error(-1)"
when i want to launch the app

You most likely have problem in the resources. Resource files are *very* easy to get wrong. For example, the first three items in .rss must be *exactly* like in other examples, otherwise it will fail with mysterious error.

For these kinds of problems, you can do following:
- take helloworld example, and ensure you can get it to compile and work
- create new project, where you copy the helloworld files. make it compile and work
- start adding stuff from your original project to helloworld. after each addition, do clean build and rebuild. re-iterate this step until you find a problem.

Yes, this is lots of hard work. Unfortunately the application framework does not give hints what is wrong, so you have to do things the hard way.

I would try

localisable_resource_file = "\\resource\\apps\\mobifindit.rsc";

And you may also try to check line 49 of mobifindit.rss, even it seems to compile in certain circumstances.

Hi!

Any solution for this menu:system error -1..? Am also facing the same while launching the app on emulator after changing the app name.

I have LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO in my .rss
Also have APP_REGISTRATION_INFO in _reg.rss with localisable_resource_id

Thanks

HI Shilpa,

Hope your doing fine,

Any solution for this menu:system error -1..? Am also facing the same while launching the app on emulator after changing the app name.

I have LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO in my .rss
Also have APP_REGISTRATION_INFO in _reg.rss with localisable_resource_id

well the system error on symbian emualtor basically occurs when the resource is not properly compiled and the system trying to access it,results in system error..

so check for the resource files format and files no that no voilation is there on emulating it..

Hi! I understand that the problem is with resource compilation.

Some more info: I have not ported from 2nd edition.

Its my 3ed edition app. I just wann change the app name. For that I made chages to resource files... ie to myapp_loc.rls, myapp_reg.rss(which contains app_file in APP_REGISTRATION_INFO) and myapp.rss(which contains RESOURCE LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO r_myapp_localisable_app_info).

It shows the changed app name on emulator .. but when I launch the app it gives menu:system error -1

I have cleaned n built the app.. even reimported by manaully deleting related files.

What may be the issue..?

Thanks

hi,

shilpa it will be better if you clean your project from epoc32 and make a fresh build and check for the result.. if the resources are properly compiled or not..
