Starting sis file from app - symbian 9.2, S60

Tsoofit — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 07:49:03 +0200

Well, I managed to run a sis file from application using StartDocument. Now I have another problem - I want to use installapp application, but it seems it isn't supported in Symbian 9.2 (newer version seem to have it). Does anybody know how can I use installapp or a similar application in Symbian 9.2? I want to use it in order to make uninstall of a file from application. Any solution for this problem is welcome!

Regards, Tsoofit

Starting sis file from app - symbian 9.2, S60

I'm trying to install sis file from app, without success. I tried to two options below: #ifdef SIS_OPT_1 _LIT(KMyAppName, "C:\\Tsoofit\\copytextfiles.sis"); CApaCommandLine * cmd=CApaCommandLine::NewL(); CleanupStack::PushL(cmd); cmd->SetExecutableNameL(KMyAppName); cmd->SetCommandL(EApaCommandRun);

RApaLsSession appArcSession; User::LeaveIfError(appArcSession.Connect()); TThreadId id;

appArcSession.StartApp(*cmd, id); appArcSession.Close(); CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); #endif

#ifdef SIS_OPT_2 HBufC* file = HBufC::NewLC(64); file->Des().Append(_L("C:\\Tsoofit\\copytextfiles.sis")); RApaLsSession appArcSession;

User::LeaveIfError(appArcSession.Connect()); TThreadId id;

appArcSession.StartDocument(*file, id); appArcSession.Close(); CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); #endif

It worked with .txt files with rapalssession:startdocument Please help! Thank you!

Yes! It took me a few days of seeking to fix this error for myself, but the answer turned out fairly simple:

Add the line LIBRARY eikcore.lib to your .mmp file, then recreate the workspace and rebuild.

Note that you can't just add it to your workspace in your IDE -- you've gotta alter your mmp file to import libraries.

There is an ExeLauncher application with a simple UI to launch Exes and ExeDlls. The source code is open, so you can check how this works in the live code: http://symbianexample.com/node/9

This is because the "RED BUTTON" doesn't close the application at all! All it does, it switches you to the "Desktop", and the application is still running in background. You should exit the app from within it somehow (ie. add action to letter 'q' that will exit the app) or view list of running programs and kill the app manually. Then you uplad new version and its all ok.

Helo, I encounter a problem with the update of "exe".
  I install my "exe" on the phone, run it, and close it by pressing the red buttun.
  I delete it from phone.
  I build a new version of my "exe" on vc6, install it on phone.
  And when i launch it, this is the previous version that run...
  I reboot the phone, install it again, launch it, and now this is the new verion that run.

If someone could help me to understand why it do this (and tell me the solution)...

Thanx a lot.

The code above works great for me (I can start another GUI application from an existing GUI application) *but* I can't figure out how to read the passed document name (the command line parameter(s)) from the newly started application. Does anybody have any code for this?

Hi!

Very interesting article!

Do you think it's possible to start a java MIDlet with this technique?

> Starting APP and EXE applications: User 23 Panic

Anonymous — Wed, 02 Feb 2005 11:31:01 +0100

Hello to all. I have a strange and arandom panic when i launch the browser from a my application . This error is Application close Browser User 23. I use this code: const TInt KWmlBrowserUid = 0x10008D39; TUid id(TUid::Uid( KWmlBrowserUid )); HBufC* iParam = iDocument.LoadHTTPGetData(); TInt len = iDocument.iResponseAddress.Length() + iParam->Length(); HBufC* url = HBufC::NewLC(len); TPtr urlPtr = url->Des(); TBuf <256> iAdd; iAdd.Copy(iDocument.iResponseAddress); urlPtr.Copy(iAdd); urlPtr += iParam->Des(); delete iParam; iFile.Write(_L8("Dopo la delete")); TApaTaskList taskList(CEikonEnv::Static()->WsSession()); TApaTask task = taskList.FindApp(TUid::Uid( KWmlBrowserUid )); TBuf8<256> iAddress; iAddress.Copy(*url); TInt StartDocumentCheck = KErrNone; if (task.Exists()) HBufC8* param8 = HBufC8::NewLC(url->Length()); param8->Des().Append(*url); task.SendMessage(TUid::Uid(0), *param8); // Uid is not used CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // param8 else RApaLsSession appArcSession; User::LeaveIfError(appArcSession.Connect()); // connect to AppArc server TThreadId id2; StartDocumentCheck = appArcSession.StartDocument( *url, TUid::Uid( KWmlBrowserUid ), id2 ); if(StartDocumentCheck== KErrNotFound) CAknInformationNote* informationNote = new (ELeave)CAknInformationNote; informationNote->ExecuteLD(_L("Impossibile attivare il browser")); appArcSession.Close(); CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // url return StartDocumentCheck;

I log each step of this function so I can read that the function exit correctly, without error. But the browser is closed with the above panic message. It's a random error that comes up when I restart IIS web server. I hope to have been clearful Thanks in advance. RdA
