virtual IMPORT_C void | HandleScreenDeviceChangedL() |
Application user interface (app UI) base class.
The app UI's responsibilities include owning the application's control stack and views, handling user commands, (see the derived class CEikAppUi), and handling events sent by the OS to the application, for instance being brought to the foreground.
The UI framework class CEikAppUi is derived from this class. UIs may derive further to add their own UI-specific features to the app UI; each application must derive its own concrete app UI class from this.
CCoeEnv * | iCoeEnv | [protected] |
IMPORT_C | ~CCoeAppUi | ( | ) |
The destructor frees all resources owned by the object, including the control stack and the view server session.
IMPORT_C void | ActivateTopViewL | ( | ) |
Activates the top view for this app UI.
This is the most recently active view, if any. Otherwise, it activates the default view. If there is no default view, it activates the first registered view.
IMPORT_C void | ActivateViewL | ( | const TVwsViewId & | aViewId | ) |
Activates an application view.
A leave occurs if view activation fails.
Parameters | |
---|---|
aViewId | Identifier of the view to activate. |
IMPORT_C void | ActivateViewL | ( | const TVwsViewId & | aViewId, |
TUid | aCustomMessageId, | |||
const TDesC8 & | aCustomMessage | |||
) |
Activates an application view and passes a message to it.
A leave occurs if view activation fails.
Notes:
Activation works synchronously so that in general, this method returns when the view is activated.
An application defines and publishes the message UIDs that it recognises. For example, a contacts application might activate an email editor view, passing an email address as a custom message. To do this, the contacts application must use a message UID, and descriptor encoding that the email application has published as being recognisable.
Parameters | |
---|---|
aViewId | Identifies the view to activate. |
aCustomMessageId | Specifies the message type. |
aCustomMessage | The message to pass to the activated view. |
IMPORT_C void | AddToStackL | ( | const MCoeView & | aView, |
CCoeControl * | aControl, | |||
TInt | aPriority = ECoeStackPriorityDefault, | |||
TInt | aStackingFlags = ECoeStackFlagStandard | |||
) |
Inserts a control into the app UI's control stack.
Parameters | |
---|---|
aView | The view that contains the control. |
aControl | The control to add to the stack. This may itself be a view. |
aPriority | An optional control stack priority. The default value is ECoeStackPriorityDefault. Higher priority controls are offered key events before lower priority controls. |
aStackingFlags | The control's event handling behaviour. The possible values are defined in coeaui.h, beginning with ECoeStackFlagStandard. |
IMPORT_C void | AddToStackL | ( | CCoeControl * | aControl, |
TInt | aPriority = ECoeStackPriorityDefault, | |||
TInt | aStackingFlags = ECoeStackFlagStandard | |||
) |
Inserts a control into the app UI's control stack.
Use the other AddToStackL() overload if the app UI uses multiple views.
Parameters | |
---|---|
aControl | The control to add to the stack. |
aPriority | An optional control stack priority. The default value is ECoeStackPriorityDefault. Higher priority controls are offered key events before lower priority controls. |
aStackingFlags | The control's event handling behaviour. The possible values are defined in coeaui.h, beginning with ECoeStackFlagStandard. |
IMPORT_C void | AddToViewStackL | ( | const MCoeView & | aView, |

) |
Deprecated
IMPORT_C void | AddViewActivationObserverL | ( | MCoeViewActivationObserver * | aViewActivationObserver | ) |
Adds an observer to the list of observers to be notified of view activations.
All view activation observers that have been added to the app UI are notified via their HandleViewActivation() function when any of this app UI's views are activated.
Parameters | |
---|---|
aViewActivationObserver | The observer to add. |
IMPORT_C void | AddViewDeactivationObserverL | ( | MCoeViewDeactivationObserver * | aViewDeactivationObserver | ) |
Adds an observer to the list of observers to be notified of view deactivations.
All view deactivation observers that have been added to the app UI are notified via their HandleViewDeactivation() function when any of this app UI's views are deactivated.
Parameters | |
---|---|
aViewDeactivationObserver | The observer to add. |
IMPORT_C void | AddViewObserverL | ( | MCoeViewObserver * | aViewObserver | ) |
Adds the specified observer to the list of view observers.
All view observers added using this function are notified via their HandleViewEventL() function when the app UI receives any view activation or deactivation event.
Parameters | |
---|---|
aViewObserver | The observer to be added to the list. |
IMPORT_C CArrayFix< TCoeHelpContext > * | AppHelpContextL | ( | ) | const |
Returns a list of help contexts appropriate to the current state of the application.
The array is generated from the help contexts for all visible controls on the app UI's control stack, and from the app UI itself (via CCoeAppUi::HelpContextL()).
IMPORT_C void | CheckInitializeViewsL | ( | TUid | aAppUid | ) |
Ensures that at least one view is registered for the app UI.
It adds an application view as the default if no views have been added, so that the application can participate in the view switching mechanism. It also sets a default view if none has been set.
This is called by the UI framework during application construction.
Parameters | |
---|---|
aAppUid | The application's 3rd UID. |
IMPORT_C TBool | CheckSourceOfViewSwitchL | ( | const TSecurityPolicy & | aSecurityPolicy, |
const char * | aDiagnostic = NULL | |||
) | const |
Checks whether the view-server client that initiated the current view-switch matches the security-policy given in the parameter.
This function leaves with KErrUnknown if called outside of an implementation of MCoeView's ViewConstructL or of MCoeView's ViewActivatedL.
See also: TSecurityPolicy
Parameters | |
---|---|
aSecurityPolicy | The TSecurityPolicy object which the client that initiated the current view switch must match. |
aDiagnostic | A string that will be emitted along with any diagnostic message that may be issued if the policy check fails. This string should be enclosed in the __PLATSEC_DIAGNOSTIC_STRING macro which enables it to be easily removed from the system. |
IMPORT_C void | ConstructL | ( | CCoeAppUi * | aPrevious = NULL | ) |
Completes construction of the CCoeAppUi object.
It creates the application's control stack and starts a view server session.
Parameters | |
---|---|
aPrevious | If non-NULL, ConstructL() transfers ownership of all of the controls owned by aPrevious to the new app UI being constructed, adding them to the new app UI's control stack. |
IMPORT_C void | CreateActivateViewEventL | ( | const TVwsViewId & | aViewId, |
TUid | aCustomMessageId, | |||
const TDesC8 & | aCustomMessage | |||
) |
Sends a request to the view server to activate the specified view, and returns without waiting for the request to complete.

aCustomMessageId | The message type. |
aCustomMessage | The message to pass to the activated view. |
IMPORT_C void | DeactivateActiveViewIfOwnerMatchL | ( | ) |
Deactivates the active view if the current view is owned by this application.

IMPORT_C void | DeactivateActiveViewL | ( | ) |
Deactivates the active view.
Deactivating the active view is necessary before exiting if the app UI has an active view. In most cases, DeactivateActiveViewIfOwnerMatch should be used instead of this function.
See also: DeactivateActiveViewIfOwnerMatch
IMPORT_C void | DeregisterApplicationView | ( | ) |
Deregisters the application view from the view architecture.
IMPORT_C void | DeregisterView | ( | const MCoeView & | aView | ) |

It has no effect if the specified view does not exist.
Parameters | |
---|---|
aView | The view to be deregistered. |
Enables/disables external view switches for this instance of this application
By default external view switches are enabled.
Parameters | |
---|---|

IMPORT_C TBool | FrameworkCallsRendezvous | ( | ) | const [virtual] |
Indicates the default behaviour for synchronizing to the startup (usually SystemStarter).
IMPORT_C TInt | GetActiveViewId | ( | TVwsViewId & | aViewId | ) | const |
Gets the ID of the app UI's currently active view.
Parameters | |
---|---|
aViewId | On return, contains the ID of the currently active view. This is unchanged if there is no active view. |
IMPORT_C TInt | GetDefaultViewId | ( | TVwsViewId & | aViewId | ) | const |
Gets this app UI's default view ID.
Parameters | |
---|---|
aViewId | On return, contains the ID of the app UI's default view. This is unchanged if there is no default view. |
IMPORT_C void | GetSystemDefaultViewL | ( | TVwsViewId & | aViewId | ) |
IMPORT_C TInt | GetTopViewId | ( | TVwsViewId & | aViewId | ) | const |
Finds and returns the current top view, not necessarily the currently active view
Parameters | |
---|---|
aViewId | On return, contains the ID of the current top view. This is unchanged if there is no top view. |
IMPORT_C void | HandleScreenDeviceChangedL | ( | ) | [protected, virtual] |
IMPORT_C void | HandleStackChanged | ( | ) |
Handles changes to the control stack.
This function ensures that the focusable control with the highest priority on the control stack has keyboard focus.
It may need to be called when a control's flag values are modified, by calling UpdateStackedControlFlags(). It is called automatically when a control is added to or removed from the stack.
IMPORT_C void | HandleStackedControlsResourceChange | ( | TInt | aType | ) |
Handles a change to the application's run-time resources for all controls on the app UI's control stack.
These are resources which are shared across the environment, such as colours, fonts or ZoomFactor.
Parameters | |
---|---|
aType | Specifies a resource type. |
IMPORT_C void | HandleWsEventL | ( | const TWsEvent & | aEvent, |
CCoeControl * | aDestination | |||
) | [virtual] |
Handles events sent to the application by the window server.
This function is called whenever the window server sends key or pointer events or some other special events to the application. It calls one of a number of functions, according to the type of event.
For key events, it calls CCoeControl::OfferKeyEventL() for each control on the control stack, beginning with the control at the top (position 0) until a control consumes it. If no control on the stack consumes the key event, the app UI's HandleKeyEventL() is called. Note that CCoeControl::OfferKeyEventL() is not called for controls whose ECoeStackFlagRefusesAllKeys flag is set.
For pointer events, CCoeControl::ProcessPointerEventL() is called on the control specified in aDestination.
For pointer buffer ready events, ProcessPointerBufferReadyL() is called on the control specified in aDestination.
For other events, for instance focus change events, this function calls one of the following CCoeAppUi private virtual functions:
HandleForegroundEventL()
HandleSwitchOnEventL()
HandleSystemEventL()
HandleApplicationSpecificEventL().
All these functions have empty implementations in this class, and are implemented by derived classes, if required.
See also: CCoeAppUi::HandleWsEventL()
Parameters | |
---|---|
aEvent | A window server event. |
aDestination | The control associated with the event. This is only relevant for pointer events. |
IMPORT_C TCoeInputCapabilities | InputCapabilities | ( | ) | const [virtual] |
Returns the input capabilities of the control with focus.
Classes that override CCoeAppUi::HandleKeyEventL() should also override this virtual function. The TCoeInputCapabilities object returned should have attributes that match the behaviour of the HandleKeyEventL() function.
Overriding app UIs should do a base-call and "merge" the returned input capabilities with its own input capabilities. If the overriding InputCapabilities() function needs to get the input capabilities of any top-level control, it should do so by calling CCoeControl::RecursivelyMergedInputCapabilities() on that control.
TBool | IsControlOnStack | ( | CCoeControl * | aControl | ) | const |
Tests whether the application is displaying a control between the given control stack priorities.
Parameters | |
---|---|
