Title: Enabling/Disabling native chat icon
Post by: huellif on December 16, 2013, 07:21:38 pm

This tutorial got requested by Janole (Garvity creator) and could be intresting for pisarz1958 (Lightbulb).
it shows how to enable/disable the native chat icon like WhatsApp or Nokia Chat.

1. you have to add to your .mmp:

Code: [Select]

LIBRARY          euser.lib
CAPABILITY      WriteDeviceData

for Qt build tools to your .pro:

Code: [Select]

LIBS += -leuser
TARGET.CAPABILITY += WriteDeviceDa

2. implement it:

Code: [Select]

#include <coreapplicationuisdomainpskeys.h> //keys for RProperty
#include <e32property.h> //RProperty

RProperty iProperty;
//to enable it:
iProperty.Set(KPSUidCoreApplicationUIs, KCoreAppUIsUipInd, ECoreAppUIsShow);
//to disable it:
iProperty.Set( KPSUidCoreApplicationUIs, KCoreAppUIsUipInd, ECoreAppUIsDoNotShow);

really simple or?

an example tool is attached, it shows a simple on/off dialog

native coding can be easy from time to time ;)
APIs which work without of cleanups, traps, pointers (ok they aren't comlicated but you have to remove them) are rare.
