Protected constructor exported for derived classes.

Destructs the ECom object and unloads the plug-in DLL.

Utility function to open resource file.

Adds nearest localized resource file to the list maintained by CCoeEnv. Uses DriveInfo::EDefaultRom drive and KDC_RESOURCE_FILES_DIR directory by default, if not defined in aFileName. Nearest extension language code is obtained from BaflUtils::NearestLanguageFile(). Added resource files must be deleted using CCoeEnv::DeleteResourceFile() function.

Cancel pending asynchronous GetInstallationFilesL() request.

Cancel pending asynchronous GetInstalledAppsL() request.

Utility function to return cached CEikonEnv reference.

Utility function to construct full bitmap file name.

Constructs the file name using DriveInfo::EDefaultRom drive, KDC_APP_BITMAP_DIR directory, and given MBM/MIF file name.

The caller of this method is responsible to delete the retuned string.

Define additional directories for installation file scanning.

By default all PathInfo::EInstallsPath directories in all non-remote drives are scanned. Also KSWInstallerPackageFolder directory defined in CenRep is scanned. Use this function to add more directories for scanning. All directory names are checked with RFs::IsValidName() and invalid names are ignored. Wild-cards (like '*') are not allowed in directory names.

Create package info objects.

Package info objects represent installation files in "Installation Files" view. Each package info object is displayed as a separate item. Package info objects should be based on recognized installation files, provided in aFileList array.

GetInstallationFilesL() may be called several times. It is called once for each scanned directory that contains recognized files for this Runtime plugin.

This asynchronous request must be completed properly using the method User::RequestComplete() even if the GetInstallationFilesL() itself has been implemented in synchronous manner. Outstanding request may be cancelled by calling CancelGetInstallationFiles().

Create application info objects.

Application info objects represent installed applications in "Installed" view. Each application info object is displayed as a separate item.

This asynchronous request must be completed properly using the method User::RequestComplete() even if the GetInstalledAppsL() itself has been implemented in synchronous manner. Outstanding request may be cancelled by calling CancelGetInstalledApps().

Supported data types for this plug-in.

Return MIME types that this Runtime plug-in supports for creating installation packages (CAppMngr2PackageInfo objects). Application Manager scans installation files and recognizes file types. Files that match to the supported MIME types are provided to the plug-in via GetInstallationFilesL() method.

Scanning and recognizing is implemented in Application Manager for performance reasons. Plug-ins should not scan or recognize files as Application Manager has done it already once and it provides list of files and their MIME types to the plug-ins.

Load icons for this plug-in.

Plug-in specific icons are used when CAppMngr2InfoBase::IconIndex() or CAppMngr2InfoBase::IndicatorIconIndex() return indexes to the returned aIconArray.

There are no default icons, so each plug-in must provide implementation for LoadIconsL() method.

ECom object instantiation.

Loads the ECom plug-in DLL and instantiates new Runtime plug-in object.

Runtime observer.

Returns reference to object implementing MAppMngr2RuntimeObserver interface. See appmngr2runtimeobserver.h for more info.

Runtime plug-in UID.

Returns UID that identifies the runtime plug-in

$return TUid Runtime plug-in UID

CEikonEnv pointer, cached from CEikonEnv::Static().

ECom instance identifier key.

Application implementing observer interface.

Implementation UID that identifies the plugin.
