Hi,

Hi,

Post your code snippet of header file and cpp file .

Basically u need to implement MPAlbAnimationObserver interface by deriving your view class from it .
//in header file
class CYourAppView : public CCoeControl,public MPAlbAnimationObserver
{
CPAlbImageViewerBasic* iViewer; //For Animated GIF
void Notify(TAnimationEvent aEvent);
}
//in cpp file
void CYourAppView :: Notify(TAnimationEvent aEvent)
{
return;
}
CYourAppView ::ConstructL(const TRect& aRect)
{
.......
iViewer = CPAlbImageViewerBasic::NewL(this,Rect());
iViewer->SetAnimationObserver(this,ETrue);//Put EFalse if u want to play gif only once
iViewer->SetContainerWindowL(*this);
TFileName GifName;
GifName.Copy(_L("C:\\Images\\birthday.gif"));,
TInt KError = iViewer->LoadImageL(GifName,EColor4K);
ActivateL();
}
CYourAppView ::Draw(const TRect& /*aRect*/) const
{
iViewer->PlayAnimationL();
}

to stop animation
use
//iViewer->StopAnimation();

hi,

you need to implement

TInt CYourAppView :: CountComponentControls() const

and

CCoeControl* CYourAppView :: ComponentControl(TInt aIndex) const

also.

Check SDK documentation for these.

Hi Sudhakar,

Can you please send the code to me as well..my id is kediamayank@gmail.com

Actually I am trying to display all kinds of images..gif, jpg, bmp on my CEikImage control or for that matter any other control(excuse my naivity) on Series60...as UIQ has a control(image capture control) which displays all sorts of images..and it resizes bigger images to fit into the control window...something which i am not able to do with series60..can u please share the code or way to get this kind of thing done in Series60?

Cheers

thanks Sudhakar actually it is not giving me any error the code of my .cpp file is
iViewer = CPAlbImageViewerBasic::NewL(this,Rect());
iViewer->SetAnimationObserver(this,ETrue);
iViewer->SetContainerWindowL(*this);
TFileName GifName;
GifName.Copy(_L("C:\\sun.gif"));
iViewer->LoadImageL(GifName,EColor4K);

& rest as we specify in the different functions. same. i also put the image in the c:\ drive of symbian's wins folder.

[S.S.Sudhakar]

Is it working in phone? I never tested the same in emulator.

[Gill]

hi sudhakar,
i want to execute gif file in my application on 3rd edition.For this i have written following code

RFs iFsSession;
iGifFileDataprovider= new (ELeave) CICLAnimationDataProvider;
iGifFileDataprovider->SetFileL(iFsSession,_L("C:\\ws_gif.gif"));

igifanimationconfig.iFlags = TAnimationConfig::ELoop;
igifanimationconfig.iData = 10000;
TPoint gifpoint = Position();
iGifAnimatior = CBasicAnimation::NewL(iGifFileDataprovider,gifpoint,CEikonEnv::Static()->WsSession(),Window());
iGifAnimatior->Start(igifanimationconfig);

and also included following header files
#include <BasicAnimation.h>
#include <AnimationConfig.h>
and the library file animation.lib
But the problem is when i included animation.lib in mmp file
the application crashes codewarrior completely.so in this case where i wrong .please give me some idea.
Thanks and reagards
