CHWRMLight Class Reference

class CHWRMLight : public CBase

The class used to control the device lights.

The HW Resource Manager Light API is a library API providing the ability to control the various light targets of the device. The API provides also methods to retrieve the current light status and the supported light targets of the device. The API is meant for all applications which need to control lights of the device.

Type of the HW Resource Manager Light API is a synchronous method call meaning the method call will block the client application. Every new call of the light API method stops all ongoing light control orders. Light state after duration based orders expire is the state specified by the last non-duration based order.

The API consist of the classes CHWRMLight and MHWRMLightObserver . If the client requires up-to-date status information, it should also provide callback pointer of the MHWRMLightObserver implementing class for the NewL-method.

Usage:

        #include <hwrmlight.h> 

 // A CHWRMLight instance can be created by using NewL() or NewLC() methods. 
 // Up-to-date status information not required, no callbacks.
 CHWRMLight* light = CHWRMLight::NewL();

 // After this, lights can be directly controlled via the provided class methods. 
 light-> LightOnL (EPrimaryDisplay, 5000); // Turn display lights on for five seconds.
 light->LightOffL(EPrimaryDisplay); // Turn display lights off indefinitely.

 // To clean up, delete the created object:
 delete light;

ReleaseLight(TInt)

void ReleaseLight ( TInt aTarget ) [virtual]

Releases light target if it was previously reserved for this client. If this client has not reserved any of the specified lights, this method does nothing. Any reserved light targets that are released and have no other suspended clients will be reset to default state, which is either lights on or lights off, depending on system inactivity time.

TLightTarget

Parameters

TInt aTarget Defines which light should be released. Multiple lights can be specified with using bitwise-or.

ReserveLightL(TInt)

void ReserveLightL ( TInt aTarget ) [virtual]

Reserves light target exclusively for this client. A higher priority client may cause lower priority client reservation to be temporarily suspended. Commands can still be issued in suspended state, but they will not be acted upon unless suspension is lifted within specified duration. The suspended client will not get any notification about suspension. If light target is already reserved by a higher or equal priority application, reserving will still succeeds, but reservation is immediately suspended.

Calling this method is equal to calling ReserveLightL( aTarget, EFalse, EFalse), i.e. any previously frozen state will not be restored and CCoeEnv background/foreground status is always used to control further reservations.

leave
KErrNotSupported One or more of specified targets are not supported.
leave
KErrAccessDenied No CCoeEnv present.
leave
KErrNotReady Trying to reserve while on background.
leave
KErrNoMemory There is a memory allocation failure.
TLightTarget

Parameters

TInt aTarget Defines which light should be reserved. Multiple lights can be specified with using bitwise-or.

ReserveLightL(TInt, TBool, TBool)

void ReserveLightL ( TInt aTarget,
TBool aRestoreState,
TBool aForceNoCCoeEnv
) [virtual]

Reserves light target exclusively for this client. A higher priority client may cause lower priority client reservation to be temporarily suspended. Commands can still be issued in suspended state, but they will not be acted upon unless suspension is lifted within specified duration. The suspended client will not get any notification about suspension. If light target is already reserved by a higher or equal priority application, reserving will still succeeds, but reservation is immediately suspended.

leave
KErrNotSupported One or more of specified targets are not supported.
leave
KErrAccessDenied Paramenter aForceNoCCoeEnv is ETrue and client is not trusted.
leave
KErrBadHandle Parameter ForceNoCCoeEnv is EFalse and no CCoeEnv present.
leave
KErrNotReady Trying to reserve while on background and parameter aForceNoCCoeEnv is EFalse.
leave
KErrNoMemory There is a memory allocation failure.
TLightTarget

Parameters

TInt aTarget Defines which light should be reserved. Multiple lights can be specified with using bitwise-or.
TBool aRestoreState If ETrue, the state frozen on last release will be restored upon successful reservation. I.e. if light was blinking when it was released by this client the last time, it would start blinking again upon successful reservation. For the first reservation of each session this parameter is always considered EFalse regardless of what is supplied, as there is no previous frozen state to restore.
TBool aForceNoCCoeEnv If EFalse, then reservation requires that this client is on the foreground at the time of reservation and light target will be automatically released and re-reserved based on background/foreground status of the this client. This also implies that CCoeEnv::Static() != NULL is required. If ETrue, the client will not require CCoeEnv to be present nor does it automatically reserve/release light by depending on foreground/background status of the client. Only trusted clients are allowed to set this flag to ETrue. A client is considered trusted if it has nonstandard priority defined in the internal lights policy of the HW Resource Manager. A client can be defined trusted only by a product.
