Description

CNotepadAPI::ExecReadOnlyTextViewerL requires the following capabilities: ReadDeviceData, WriteDeviceData, ReadUserData, and WriteUserData. This is not documented.

CNotepadAPI::ExecReadOnlyTextViewerL and ExecTextEditorL are used to show a text string in the Notepad application. The CNotepadAPI::ExecTextEditorL function requires the same four capabilities to work fully. The function can be executed with the None capability but the application will crash if the user selects the Find operation from Notepad's menu.

How to reproduce

CNotepadApi *note = CNotepadApi::NewLC();
_LIT(text,"Some very long text, Some very long text ");
note->ExecReadOnlyTextViewerL(text,_L("TITLE"),_L("DELETE?"));
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(note);

Solution

Add WriteDeviceData, ReadUserData, and WriteUserData capabilities. The issue is expected to be fixed in S60 3rd Edition, FP2 devices and SDK.
