Have you handled the possibility to install to mmc card also? If not, applicataion would work perfectly while installed on phone memory, but if on mmc, bitmap cannot be read from correct place and normally you would program Leave on that case. This might be why it's working with some phones (that have installed on phone) and failing on some (that have installed on mmc)

Thanks a lot for the article. It helped a lot!...

I have a comment on Symbian tools. I was just shocked to know that files generated by the compilation process end up in the epoc32\include directory. That's the main SDK include directory.

I hate that the compilation for Symbian leaves files all over the place but, in the main include directory? Wacko!!!....

My two cents...

Hello.

Nice article.

I have a question. I created an application that uses an MBM file. In the pkg i added the mbm file that is installed in the same directory with the application. It works fine for my Nokia 6600 but a friend from France can't use it. After installation, he runs the application and it closes immediately (i display a picture from the mbm file at startup).

Are there any security restrictions for file installations? Vodafone maybe?

Can i merge the mbm file in the rsc of the application?

Thank you, Lucian

hi,

i wanted to load the mbm file (as created above) into the programm and wanted to add the icons to listbox ?

another way to create mbm&mbg file

DeepBlueSystem — Tue, 22 Feb 2005 08:33:39 +0100

use the command Â‘bmconv /hfilename.mbg filename.mbm [OPT]bmp_1 .... [OPT]bmp_nÂ’ to create mbm/mbg file for example: :> bmconv /hAnkExMyApp.mbg AnkExMyApp.mbm /c12MyBMP_1.bmp /c12MyBMP_2.bmp /c12MyBMP_3.bmp /c8MyBMP_4.bmp

i am still very new to Symbian OS C++. can you guide me through the way to upload a image on to the emulator and also the .cpp files that are needed.

Thanks a lot.

Using the Sendo Bitmap Converter makes it really easy to create, decompile MBM's, you can also set the colour depth. You will find it in the Tools & SDK Section.

I guess you can use c4, c8, c12 and probably c16 or c24. But I never tried these.

c8 is a safe and conservative choice since most (phone) devices have at least 256 colors.

Hi.

What are the possible values for the color depth parameter?

This short tutorial will explain how to construct a MBM file, Symbian specific format to hold bitmaps.
