Overview

Application Interworking (AIW) framework is a mechanism for dynamically adding features and functionality to applications without statically linking to the existing code. Contact application provides ‘Assign’ AIW service through which we can assign image or Ringtone to existing contact.

Here is the code to assign image to contact.

Header file

#include <AiwServiceHandler.h>
#include <aiwgenericparam.h>

class CContactAIWAssign31AppUi : public CAknAppUi
    {
public:
 
    …
 
     // From MEikMenuObserver
    void DynInitMenuPaneL(TInt aResourceId,CEikMenuPane* aMenuPane);
 
    //For Passing parameters 
    void AiwParamListLC( CAiwGenericParamList& aParamList ) const;
 
public: 
   CAiwServiceHandler* iServiceHandler;
 
    };

void CContactAIWAssign31AppUi::ConstructL()
    {
  iServiceHandler = CAiwServiceHandler::NewL();
//Attach menu services
  iServiceHandler->AttachMenuL(R_CONTACTAIWASSIGN31_MENU,R_ASSIGN_INTEREST);
 }
 
void CContactAIWAssign31AppUi::HandleCommandL(TInt aCommand)

    switch(aCommand)

            Exit();
            break;
       default:
           CAiwGenericParamList& inList = iServiceHandler->InParamListL();
           AiwParamListLC(inList);
           iServiceHandler->ExecuteMenuCmdL(aCommand,inList,iServiceHandler->OutParamListL(),0,NULL);
            break;

    	AiwParamListLC(inList);

    } 
    }

       TAiwGenericParam paramMime( EGenericParamMIMEType, varMime );
