Hi,

How do i execute a file with its associated application. For example if i select an mp3 file it should play with its associated application.


Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Prabhu.

You don't need to write a recogoniser.  A recogoniser is used to associate a file type with a specic app, in the same way the extension is used in windows to do it.  You would need to write one if say your app played MP3s, and you wanted the lauching of an MP3 to start your app.

You question sounds to me more like you want to do the lauching.  So you want to open an MP3, and have it open in what ever app is associated (via a recog.) with it.  Is that correct?

If so, take a look at RApaLsSession::StartDocument in the SDK.

You can use Document Handler (documenthandler.h) on Series 60.

Call AppForDocument which will give you the UID of the app associated with the file.  Then call GetAppIcon passing in the UID.

Hi,

I have problem in getting the ICON.

CApaMaskedBitmap* aAppBitmap;
ret = RPASession->GetAppIcon(uid, TSize(13,13), *aAppBitmap);

Is something wrong in the above code.

Call GetAppIconSizes first to actually get the correct sizes of the icons in the app, then call GetAppIcon passing in one of the returned sizes.

Hi,

Thanks for ur reply.

The way the CApaMaskedBitmap is passed is correct?

or i have to create an object using NewLC and then pass the object to the function.

Prabhu.

You will have to NewL one before you use it - you can't just deference a NULL/invalid pointer and pass that.  The usual key is if a function takes a "CClass&" then you construct it, if it takes a "CClass*&" then it will construct it for you.

Hi,
Code:
if((ret == KErrNone) && (uid.iUid!= 0))
{
CApaMaskedBitmap aAppBitmap = CApaMaskedBitmap::NewLC();
CArrayFixFlat<TSize> *aArrayToFill = new CArrayFixFlat<TSize>(3);
RPASession->GetAppIconSizes(uid, *aArrayToFill);
RDebug::Print(_L("%d"), aArrayToFill->Count());
ret = RPASession->GetAppIcon(uid, (*aArrayToFill)[0], *aAppBitmap);
}

THis is the code iam using but the app crashes.

Please help me.

Crashes on which line?  Whats RPASession and why is it allocated on the heap?

I'd do it like this:

Code:

RApaLsSession aLs;
User::LeaveIfError(aLs.Connect());
CleanupClosePushL(aLs);

CArrayFixFlat<TSize>* array=new(ELeave) CArrayFixFlat<TSize>(3);
CleanupStack::PushL(array);
User::LeaveIfError(aLs.GetAppIconSizes(uid,*array));
for(TInt i=0;i<array->Count();i++)
{
CApaMaskedBitmap* iconBySize=CApaMaskedBitmap::NewLC();
if(aLs.GetAppIcon(KUidTestApp,(*array)[i],*iconBySize) == KErrNone)
{
// icon is now iconBySize
}
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(iconBySize);
}

CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(array);
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(&aLs);
