Re: How to make my application in series 60
if u just want ur app to run in background just type the same letters in SEARCH on than forum and u ll find 1000 solutions... if u mean to do something for that 60 sec and in the same time do something else use some cactive object (timer or something)

Re: How to make my application to run in background in series 60
i even tried in this way but it is not going to  background
this is my code


void CSeleep2AppUi::HandleCommandL(TInt aCommand)
    {
    switch ( aCommand )
        {
        case EAknSoftkeyBack:
        case EEikCmdExit:
            {
            Exit();
            break;
            }
        case Eseleep2CmdAppTest:
            {
            SendToBackground();
                                
            iEikonEnv->InfoMsg(_L("test"));
            break;
            }
        default:
            break;     
        }
    }

void CSeleep2AppUi::SendToBackground()
{
   TApaTask task(iEikonEnv->WsSession( ));
   task.SetWgId(CEikonEnv::Static()->RootWin().Identifier());
   task.SendToBackground();
   sleep(60);

}


The main aim of my application is to make my application to run in back ground so that I can access other icons  in series 60 mobile
      But when I run my application I am unable to access other icons it is getting hang .


thanking you

Hi,

You can try out his...

TBool response = EFalse;
TApaTaskList taskList(CCoeEnv::Static()->WsSession());
TApaTask task = taskList.FindByPos(0);

CApaWindowGroupName* wgName = CApaWindowGroupName::NewLC(CCoeEnv::Static()->WsSession(), task.WgId());
if (wgName->AppUid().iUid == 0x10005bca) //ur application uid
{
response = ETrue;
task.SendToBackground();
}
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(wgName);

Include: apgtask.h and apgwgnam.h
Link against: apgrfx.lib in the mmp file

Re: How to make my application to run in background in series 60

i am waking up this thread - is it safe to say the putting the App like this in background stops it from listening to events? such as CTelephony events?

No.

"Being in the background" only means the app isn't currently showing any of its UI parts.

It doesn't affect anything else, all threads continue to run just as normal.

Re: How to make my application to run in background in series 60

Thank you for your reply Smiling
what i cant understand is how can i listen to phone events in the background .... Sad
i followed and read all the examples and many threads in forums and still couldnt figure it out.
my app is in priority normal and i want to listen to "EDialing" event. i wrote the code and it doesnt work.
security reasons ?
i use s60 3rs FP1 , Nokia N95 as physical platform

Re: How to make my application to run in background in series 60

It could be many reasons, security is definitely one of them.

I havn't used CTelephony, but I suspect it might need you to set NetworkServices capability on your app.

You should try debug it and try find out more exactly how it "doesn't work", and if you don't figure it out from that, start a new thread about it here on NewLC and ask a more specific qestion.
