DataSizeL(TInt &)

IMPORT_C voidDataSizeL(TInt &aSize)

Gets the data size in bytes.

leave
KErrCASizeNotDetermined Size could not be determined by the managing agent.
leave
... One of the other CAF error codes defined in caferr.h or one of the system-wide error codes for any other errors.
capability
DRM Access to DRM protected content is not permitted for processes without DRM capability. Access to unprotected content is unrestricted

Parameters

TInt & aSizeOn return this will contain the size of the plaintext data in bytes.

EvaluateIntent(TIntent)

IMPORT_C TIntEvaluateIntent(TIntentaIntent)

Allows a client to verify that the intent is supported by the current rights for the data object.

Note:

Since the intent is only evaluated the agent will not decrement any rights-state such as play counts.

ContentAccess::TIntent
capability
DRM Access to DRM protected content is not permitted for processes without DRM capability. Access to unprotected content is unrestricted

Parameters

TIntent aIntentThe intended way the content will be used.

ExecuteIntent(TIntent)

IMPORT_C TIntExecuteIntent(TIntentaIntent)

Execute intent allows the application to signal it is about to carry out the specified intent on protected content.The agent will decrement applicable stateful rights such as play counts where necessary.

Applications should be very careful to use this function correctly.
  • If ExecuteIntent() is never called stateful rights will never be decremented. Users will be able to use the content forever

  • If ExecuteIntent() is called too often stateful rights may be consumed prematurely.

Usually it would be best to call ExecuteIntent immediately before the content is displayed or the instant playback begins. ExecuteIntent should not be considered a prerequisite for calling the Read functions. It is valid for an application to read from the file before calling ExecuteIntent.
Note:

Since rights are executed here the agent will decrement any rights-state such as play counts that apply.

capability
DRM Access to DRM protected content is not permitted for processes without DRM capability. Access to unprotected content is unrestricted

Parameters

TIntent aIntentThe intent indicator.

Read(TDes8 &)

IMPORT_C TIntRead(TDes8 &aDes)const

Reads from a content object up to the maximum length of the descriptor or the end of the content object.

When an attempt is made to read beyond the end of the content, no error is returned. The descriptor s length is set to the number of bytes that were read into it. Therefore, when reading through content, the end has been reached when the descriptor length (given by TDesC::Length()) is zero.

capability
DRM Access to DRM protected content is not permitted for processes without DRM capability. Access to unprotected content is unrestricted

Parameters

TDes8 & aDesDescriptor into which binary data is read. Any existing contents are overwritten. On return, its length is set to the number of bytes read.

Read(TDes8 &, TInt)

TDes8 & aDesDescriptor into which binary data is read. Any existing contents are overwritten. On return, its length is set to the number of bytes read.
TInt aLengthThe number of bytes to read from the file, or to the end of the file, whichever is encountered first. The length of the buffer is set to the number of bytes actually read.

Read(TDes8 &, TRequestStatus &)

IMPORT_C voidRead(TDes8 &aDes,
TRequestStatus &aStatus
)const

Read content asynchronously up to the maximum length of the descriptor or until the end of the content object is reached. NB: It is important that the descriptor passed to aDes remains in scope until the request has completed.

Read(TDes8& aDes)
capability
DRM Access to DRM protected content is not permitted for processes without DRM capability. Access to unprotected content is unrestricted

Parameters

TDes8 & aDesDescriptor into which binary data is read. Any existing contents are overwritten. On return, its length is set to the number of bytes read.

Read(TDes8 &, TInt, TRequestStatus &)

IMPORT_C voidRead(TDes8 &aDes,
TIntaLength,

Read(TDes8& aDes)
capability
DRM Access to DRM protected content is not permitted for processes without DRM capability. Access to unprotected content is unrestricted

Parameters

TDes8 & aDesDescriptor into which binary data is read. Any existing contents are overwritten. On return, its length is set to the number of bytes read.
TInt aLengthThe number of bytes to read from the file, or to the end of the file, whichever is encountered first. The length of the buffer is set to the number of bytes actually read.

Read(TInt, TDes8 &, TInt, TRequestStatus &)

IMPORT_C TIntRead(TIntaPos,
TDes8 &aDes,
TIntaLength,
TRequestStatus &aStatus
)const

Reads content asynchronously. The data is read from a specified offset up to a specified number of bytes or until the end of the content object is reached. The data is read into the descriptor buffer supplied.

Read(TDes8& aDes)
capability
DRM Access to DRM protected content is not permitted for processes without DRM capability. Access to unprotected content is unrestricted

Parameters

TInt aPosPosition of first byte to be read. This is an offset from the start of the file.
TDes8 & aDesDescriptor into which binary data is read. Any existing contents are overwritten. On return, its length is set to the number of bytes read.
TInt aLengthThe number of bytes to read from the file, or to the end of the file, whichever is encountered first. The length of the buffer is set to the number of bytes actually read.
TRequestStatus & aStatusAsynchronous request status. On completion this will contain one of the following error codes: KErrNone if the data was successfully read. Otherwise one of the CAF error codes defined in caferr.h or one of the other standard system-wide error codes for any other errors.

ReadCancel(TRequestStatus &)

IMPORT_C voidReadCancel(TRequestStatus &aStatus)const

Cancels asynchronous read.

capability
DRM Access to DRM protected content is not permitted for processes without DRM capability. Access to unprotected content is unrestricted

Parameters

TRequestStatus & aStatusAsynchronous request status. This parameter should have been supplied earlier to an asynchronous Read call. If it has not been previously supplied to a Read call, this function will not have any effect.

Seek(TSeek, TInt &)

IMPORT_C TIntSeek(TSeekaMode,
TInt &aPos
)const

Changes or retrieves the location of the file pointer within the content object.

NOTE: Some operations may fail if the content data is sourced over a network connection.

There are four seek modes used:

  • ESeekStart - Sets the file pointer aPos bytes from the start of the content object. aPos is not modified by the call to Seek()

  • ESeekEnd - Sets the file pointer aPos bytes from the end of the content object. The aPos parameter supplied should be zero or negative when using ESeekEnd. Upon completion aPos is updated with the current position relative to the start of the content object.

  • ESeekCurrent - Moves the file pointer aPos bytes from the current position. Upon completion aPos is updated with the new position relative to the start of the content object. Suppling a zero value for the aPos Parameter can be used to retrieve the current file pointer location

  • ESeekAddress Sets the aPos parameter to the address of the byte aPos bytes from the start of the content object

TSeek
capability
DRM Access to DRM protected content is not permitted for processes without DRM capability. Access to unprotected content is unrestricted

Parameters

TSeek aModeSeek mode - controls the destination of the seek operation.
TInt & aPosOffset from either the start, end or current position depending upon the seek mode. Negative offsets are used to seek before the current position or relative to the end of the file.

SetProperty(TAgentProperty, TInt)

IMPORT_C TIntSetProperty(TAgentPropertyaProperty,
TIntaValue
)

Request the agent handling this content to set a property value. If the property is set it is only set for this CData session and does not impact other CAF users.

For example setting the buffer-size to 256 bytes can be achieved as follows:

		  			MyData->SetProperty(EAgentPropertyBufferSize, 256);
ContentAccess::TAgentProperty
capability
DRM Access to DRM protected content is not permitted for processes without DRM capability. Access to unprotected content is unrestricted.
