Using svg icons

[tsippa]

I'm trying to add a new svg icon which is to be used in a listbox. Can I add this directly to mifdef generated when I created the project in Carbide, or do I need to create a new mifdef? If I add the svg to the current mifdef, I need to define number_of_icons as 2 in LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO, right?

Furthermore, how do I find out the Id's used to load the svg from the svg file, as I didn't create it myself? Do I need to include mbg? How exactly do I load the svg anyway? Yes, I have looked at n+1 examples, please don't ask me to look at them again. Too confusing. :)

Hi tsippa,

you just need to call AknIconUtils class to load svg icons. Here is a sample code for you...I assume you are using S60 SDk 3rd Ed

_LIT( KAppPath, "Z:\\private\\10009AD7\\icons.mif" );

iIconProvider = CIconFileProvider::NewL(iFsSession, KAppPath);

// Load svg icon
iBackground = AknIconUtils::CreateIconL(*iIconProvider, EMbmScalablescreendrawingiconsBackground);

you need to iclude the corresponding mbg file and
you no need to alter the number_of_icons in LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO.

Best of luck

Thanks. How do I find out the id of the SVG though? I didn't create the SVG myself, so I have a bit of a problem finding it out.

Hi tsippa,

If you are using a S60 3rd Ed and then the starting index would be
16384
(or)
if you are usind 2nd ed then the starting index would be 0.

Hope this helps you out
