APIPurpose

The CNewFileServiceClient provides implementation for creating a new service client. Several applications are providing different services like image capture, voice recording etc.and the application UID is used to identify the application to be started as a server application.

Use cases

It can be used to embed applications such as Camcorder to be started as server application. It provides new image and new video services. Service type is given as an input parameter for service request. Service client could use generic parameters (CAiwGenericParamList) to control server application.

Example code

Headers:

#include <NewFileServiceClient.h>
#include <AiwServiceHandler.h>
#include <AiwCommon.hrh>
#include <AiwDialDataTypes.h>

Link against:

LIBRARY    ServiceHandler.lib newservice.lib

CDesCArray* selectedFiles = new (ELeave) CDesCArrayFlat(4);
CleanupStack::PushL(selectedFiles);
CAiwGenericParamList* paramList = CAiwGenericParamList::NewLC();
TAiwVariant variant( ETrue );
TAiwGenericParam param( EGenericParamMMSSizeLimit, variant );
paramList->AppendL( param );
CNewFileServiceClient* fileClient = NewFileServiceFactory::NewClientL();
CleanupStack::PushL( fileClient );
result = fileClient->NewFileL(KUidCamera,*selectedFiles,paramList,
ENewFileServiceImage,EFalse );//KUidCamera refers to Camera Uid
if(result)
  {
  CEikonEnv::InfoWinL(_L("Success"),_L(""));
  }
else
  {
  CEikonEnv::InfoWinL(_L("Failed"),_L(""));
  }
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy( 3 ); // selectedFiles, paramList fileClient
