Creating GPRS access point
Hearders Required:
#include <commdb.h> //CCommsDatabase, CCommsDbTableViewLibrary required:
LIBRARY commdb.lib //CCommsDatabase, CCommsDbTableView
This function creates a new IAP record and insert it into the Comms database:
TInt CIAPConnect_v30Engine::CreateNewIapL(TDesC& aIapName)
{
CCommsDatabase* commsDb;
commsDb = CCommsDatabase::NewL();
CleanupStack::PushL(commsDb);
TBufC<32> commsdb_name_val(aIapName);
TUint32 network_id;
commsDb->BeginTransaction();
/* Step 1 */
// creating a new network record
CCommsDbTableView* network = commsDb->OpenTableLC(TPtrC(NETWORK));
network->InsertRecord(network_id);
network->WriteTextL(TPtrC(COMMDB_NAME), commsdb_name_val);
network->PutRecordChanges();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(network);
/* Step 2 */
// creating a new outgoing gprs record
TUint32 og_gprs_id;
// See implementations in the CreateNewOgGprsL function
TInt err= CreateNewOgGprsL(*commsDb, commsdb_name_val, og_gprs_id);
/* Step 3 */
// creating a new wap accesspoint record
TUint32 ap_id;
// See implementations in the CreateNewAccessPointL function
err = CreateNewAccessPointL(*commsDb, commsdb_name_val, ap_id);
/* Step 4 */
// creating a new IAP record
CCommsDbTableView* iap = commsDb->OpenTableLC(TPtrC(IAP));
TUint32 iap_id;
err = iap->InsertRecord(iap_id);
iap->WriteTextL(TPtrC(COMMDB_NAME), commsdb_name_val);
iap->WriteUintL(TPtrC(IAP_SERVICE), og_gprs_id);
iap->WriteTextL(TPtrC(IAP_SERVICE_TYPE), TPtrC(OUTGOING_GPRS));
iap->WriteTextL(TPtrC(IAP_BEARER_TYPE), TPtrC(MODEM_BEARER));
// In real application, don't hard-code. Should check from the modem bearer
iap->WriteUintL( TPtrC(IAP_BEARER), 2);
iap->WriteUintL( TPtrC(IAP_NETWORK), network_id);
iap->WriteUintL( TPtrC(IAP_NETWORK_WEIGHTING), 0 );
iap->WriteUintL( TPtrC(IAP_LOCATION), 2);
iap->PutRecordChanges();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(iap);
/* Step 5 */
// creating a new wap bearer
CCommsDbTableView* wap_bearer = commsDb->OpenTableLC(TPtrC(WAP_IP_BEARER));
TUint32 wb_id;
wap_bearer->InsertRecord(wb_id);
wap_bearer->WriteUintL(TPtrC(WAP_ACCESS_POINT_ID), ap_id);

wap_bearer->WriteBoolL( TPtrC(WAP_SECURITY), EFalse);
wap_bearer->WriteUintL( TPtrC(WAP_PROXY_PORT), 0 );
wap_bearer->PutRecordChanges();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(wap_bearer);
// Finish
err= commsDb->CommitTransaction();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // commsDb
return KErrNone;
}
The following function creates a new outgoing GPRS record:
TInt CIAPConnect_v30Engine::CreateNewOgGprsL(CCommsDatabase& aCommsDb,
TDesC& aCommsdb_name_val, TUint32& aOgGprsId)

TInt err = commsOgGprs->InsertRecord(aOgGprsId);
commsOgGprs->WriteTextL(TPtrC(COMMDB_NAME), aCommsdb_name_val);
_LIT(apn_val, "airtelgprs.com");
commsOgGprs->WriteLongTextL(TPtrC(GPRS_APN), apn_val);
commsOgGprs->WriteUintL( TPtrC(GPRS_PDP_TYPE), 0);

commsOgGprs->WriteTextL( TPtrC(GPRS_IF_NETWORKS), _L("ip"));
commsOgGprs->WriteBoolL( TPtrC(GPRS_IF_PROMPT_FOR_AUTH), EFalse);
commsOgGprs->WriteUintL( TPtrC(GPRS_IF_AUTH_RETRIES), 0);
commsOgGprs->WriteTextL( TPtrC(GPRS_IP_GATEWAY), _L("0.0.0.0"));
commsOgGprs->WriteBoolL( TPtrC(GPRS_IP_DNS_ADDR_FROM_SERVER), EFalse);

commsOgGprs->WriteUintL( TPtrC(GPRS_AP_TYPE), 2);
commsOgGprs->WriteUintL( TPtrC(GPRS_QOS_WARNING_TIMEOUT), -1);
commsOgGprs->PutRecordChanges();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(commsOgGprs);
return KErrNone;
}
This function creates a new wap access point:
TInt CIAPConnect_v30Engine::CreateNewAccessPointL(CCommsDatabase& aCommsDb,
TDesC& aCommsdb_name_val, TUint32& aApId)
{
CCommsDbTableView* commsAp = aCommsDb.OpenTableLC(TPtrC(WAP_ACCESS_POINT));
commsAp->InsertRecord(aApId);
commsAp->WriteTextL(TPtrC(COMMDB_NAME), aCommsdb_name_val);
commsAp->WriteTextL(TPtrC(WAP_CURRENT_BEARER), TPtrC(WAP_IP_BEARER));
commsAp->PutRecordChanges();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(commsAp);
return KErrNone;
}
