Make phone browser open a URL on Symbian S60 3rd Ed programmatically
- by ardsrk
On clicking a URL displayed in my application running on a Symbian S60 3rd Edition device should make the phone browser ( which is already open ) open the specified URL.
Here is the code:
_LIT( KUrlPrefix,"4 " )
void CMunduIMAppUi::OpenInBrowser(const TDesC& aUrl)
{
HBufC *url = NULL;
const TInt KWmlBrowserUid =0x10008D39;
TUid id( TUid::Uid( KWmlBrowserUid ) );
TApaTaskList taskList( CEikonEnv::Static()->WsSession() );
TApaTask task = taskList.FindApp( id );
// Checks if the browser is already open
if ( task.Exists() )
{
HBufC8* parameter = HBufC8::NewL( aUrl.Length()+ KUrlPrefix().Length());
parameter->Des().Copy(KUrlPrefix);
parameter->Des().Append(aUrl);
task.BringToForeground();
task.SendMessage(TUid::Uid(0), *parameter); // UID not used
delete parameter;
parameter = NULL;
}
}
When I use this code to open a URL the browser comes to the foreground but does not get directed to the URL.
I suspect something is wrong in SendMessage call that is called after the browser
is brought to foreground:
task.SendMessage(TUid::Uid(0), *parameter); // UID not used
