CPosLandmarkDatabase Class Reference

class CPosLandmarkDatabase : public CBase

Handle to a landmark database.

This class contains functions for creating, iterating, reading, modifying and deleting landmarks.

Operations on the database may fail with error code KErrCorrupt if the database is damaged. The client can try to recover the database by calling CPosLandmarkDatabase::InitializeL() .

Operations on the database may fail with error code KErrLocked if another client is writing to the database. Write operations can also fail with this error code if another client is currently reading from the database.

If CPosLandmarkDatabase is used, the client must call the global function ReleaseLandmarkResources() before terminating in order to release all used landmark resources, otherwise the client may receive an ALLOC panic.

NetworkServices capability is required for remote databases.

Since
S60 3.0 eposlandmarks.lib.

Member Functions Documentation

AddLandmarkL(CPosLandmark &)

TPosLmItemId AddLandmarkL ( CPosLandmark & aLandmark ) [pure virtual]

Adds a new landmark to the database and returns its ID.

Pre-condition
Database is initialized (see IsInitializingNeeded ).
A landmark can contain the IDs of the categories it belongs to. If any of these categories does not exist in the database, the add operation will still complete successfully but the category which was not found will be ignored.

This function requires ReadUserData and WriteUserData capabilities.

Post-condition
Landmark is added to the database and landmark object has database item set ( CPosLandmark::LandmarkId() ).
leave
KErrAccessDenied The database is read-only.
leave
KErrPosLmNotInitialized Database is not yet initialized.

Parameters

CPosLandmark & aLandmark The landmark to add.

CancelNotifyDatabaseEvent()

TInt CancelNotifyDatabaseEvent ( ) [pure virtual]

Cancels a call to NotifyDatabaseEvent .

This function requires ReadUserData capability.

CompactL()

CPosLmOperation * CompactL ( ) [pure virtual]

Compacts the landmark database.

Pre-condition
Database is initialized (see IsInitializingNeeded ).
Compaction means that any unused space in the database is removed.

The function returns an operation object which can be run in incremental mode. If it is run incrementally the client can supervise the progress of the operation.

The client takes ownership of the returned operation object.

This function requires ReadUserData and WriteUserData capabilities.

leave
KErrAccessDenied The database is read-only.
leave
KErrPosLmNotInitialized Database is not yet initialized.

DatabaseUriLC()

HBufC * DatabaseUriLC ( ) [pure virtual]

Returns a URI which points to the landmark database storage.

The URI may point to a file in the terminal file system or on a remote file.

The client takes ownership of the returned descriptor.

ExportLandmarksL(CPosLandmarkEncoder &, const RArray< TPosLmItemId > &, TTransferOptions)

CPosLmOperation * ExportLandmarksL ( CPosLandmarkEncoder & aLandmarkEncoder,
const RArray < TPosLmItemId > & aLandmarkIdArray,
TTransferOptions aTransferOptions
) [pure virtual]

Exports a number of landmarks.

Pre-condition
Database is initialized (see IsInitializingNeeded ).
To export a set of landmarks, the client must first create a CPosLandmarkEncoder object for the landmark content format in which the landmarks should be encoded. The client can add some information of the landmark collection in the encoder as well.

The client must also provide a list of the landmarks which should be exported. If one of the landmarks are not found in the database, the returned operation fails with error code KErrNotFound .

The client does not have to add any landmarks to the encoder object. This function will add the ones specified in the ID array.

The function returns an operation object which can be run in incremental mode. If it is run incrementally the client can supervise the progress of the operation.

If the CPosLmOperation object is deleted before the operation is complete, it is possible that only a subset of the landmarks have been exported.

The client takes ownership of the returned operation object.

When all landmarks have been exported the client must finalize encoding by calling CPosLandmarkEncoder::FinalizeEncodingL .

This function requires ReadUserData capability.

leave
KErrPosLmNotInitialized Database is not yet initialized.
panic
"Landmarks Client"-EPosLmInvalidArgument Client specified invalid transfer option values.

Parameters

CPosLandmarkEncoder & aLandmarkEncoder A landmark encoder object.
const RArray < TPosLmItemId > & aLandmarkIdArray The landmarks which should be exported.
TTransferOptions aTransferOptions A bitmap representing the options for the export operation. The bitmap values are defined by _TTransferOptions .

ImportLandmarksL(CPosLandmarkParser &, TTransferOptions)

CPosLmOperation * ImportLandmarksL ( CPosLandmarkParser & aLandmarkParser,
TTransferOptions aTransferOptions
) [pure virtual]

Import a set of landmarks.

Pre-condition
Database is initialized (see IsInitializingNeeded ).
To import landmark content, the client must first create a parser object which can parse the landmark content. The client does not have to call CPosLandmarkParser::ParseContentL first. If the content is not already parsed, this will be handled by the import operation.

The function returns an operation object which can be run in incremental mode. If it is run incrementally the client can supervise the progress of the operation.

If the CPosLmOperation object is deleted before the operation is complete, it is possible that only a subset of the landmarks have been imported.

The client takes ownership of the returned operation object.

After completion ImportedLandmarksIteratorL can be called to retrieve the IDs of the added landmarks.

The NextStep function in the operation object cannot be executed synchronously using User::WaitForRequest . Doing so may cause the operation to hang. NextStep must be run using an active object for this operation.

This function requires ReadUserData and WriteUserData capabilities.

leave
KErrAccessDenied The database is read-only.
leave
KErrPosLmNotInitialized Database is not yet initialized.
panic
"Landmarks Client"-EPosLmInvalidArgument Client specified invalid transfer option values.

Parameters

CPosLandmarkParser & aLandmarkParser An object which can parse landmark content.
TTransferOptions aTransferOptions A bitmap representing the options for the import operation. The bitmap values are defined by _TTransferOptions .

ImportLandmarksL(CPosLandmarkParser &, const RArray< TUint > &, TTransferOptions)

CPosLmOperation * ImportLandmarksL ( CPosLandmarkParser & aLandmarkParser,
const RArray < TUint > & aLandmarkSelection,
TTransferOptions aTransferOptions
) [pure virtual]

Import a set of landmarks.

Pre-condition
Database is initialized (see IsInitializingNeeded ).
To import landmark content, the client must first create a parser object which can parse the landmark content. The client does not have to call CPosLandmarkParser::ParseContentL first. If the content is not already parsed, this will be handled by the import operation.

In this overload of the function, the client can pass an array defining a subset of the landmarks in the parser object. This way the client can select to import only a part of the landmark content.

The function returns an operation object which can be run in incremental mode. If it is run incrementally the client can supervise the progress of the operation.

If the CPosLmOperation object is deleted before the operation is complete, it is possible that only a subset of the landmarks have been imported.

The client takes ownership of the returned operation object.

After completion ImportedLandmarksIteratorL can be called to retrieve the IDs of the added landmarks.

The NextStep function in the operation object cannot be executed synchronously using User::WaitForRequest . Doing so may cause the operation to hang. NextStep must be run using an active object for this operation.

This function requires ReadUserData and WriteUserData capabilities.

leave
KErrAccessDenied The database is read-only.
leave
KErrPosLmNotInitialized Database is not yet initialized.
panic
"Landmarks Client"-EPosLmInvalidArgument Client specified invalid transfer option values.

Parameters

CPosLandmarkParser & aLandmarkParser An object which can parse landmark content.
const RArray < TUint > & aLandmarkSelection An array defining which of the parsed landmarks to import. The array items refer to the order in which CPosLandmarkParser accesses the landmarks. 0 means the first parsed landmark, 1 means the second, etc. If the parser supports indexing, these numbers correspond to the index values used to access the landmarks in CPosLandmarkParser::LandmarkLC . The index values must be less than the number of landmarks accessed by the parser, otherwise the operation object will panic with error code EPosInvalidIndex during execution. Note: The indexes can be used regardless of whether the parser supports indexing or not.
TTransferOptions aTransferOptions A bitmap representing the options for the import operation. The bitmap values are defined by _TTransferOptions .

ImportedLandmarksIteratorL(CPosLmOperation *)

CPosLmItemIterator * ImportedLandmarksIteratorL ( CPosLmOperation * aImportOperation ) [pure virtual]

Returns an object for iterating the landmarks added in an import operation.

To import landmarks ImportLandmarksL is used.

If ImportedLandmarksIteratorL is called before the ImportLandmarksL operation has completed, the iterator will iterate the landmarks imported so far. Landmarks imported after the iterator is obtained will not affect the iterator. A new iterator must be obtained to iterate these new landmarks.

The client takes ownership of the returned iterator object.

Parameters

CPosLmOperation * aImportOperation This object is returned by ImportLandmarksL methods.

InitializeL()

CPosLmOperation * InitializeL ( ) [pure virtual]

Initializes the database.

This function may have to be called right after the database is opened. IsInitializingNeeded can be called to find out if initialization is needed.

If the database becomes damaged, the client can call InitializeL to try to recover the database.

It is ok to call even if initialization is not needed. In this case, the operation will not do anything.

If the database needs to be initialized, the client must call InitializeL , otherwise the database may not be possible to access. Access functions may leave with KErrPosLmNotInitialized .

The function returns an operation object which can be run in incremental mode. If it is run incrementally the client can supervise the progress of the operation.

If the CPosLmOperation object is deleted before the operation is complete, it is possible that the database is not yet initialized.

The client takes ownership of the returned operation object.

This function requires ReadUserData capability.

IsInitializingNeeded()

TBool IsInitializingNeeded ( ) const [pure virtual]

Checks if the database is in need of initialization.

If the database needs to be initialized, the client must call InitializeL , otherwise the database may not be possible to access. Access functions may leave with KErrPosLmNotInitialized .

Initialization may be needed also if the database becomes damaged. The client can then try to call InitializeL to try to recover the database.

LandmarkIteratorL()

CPosLmItemIterator * LandmarkIteratorL ( ) [pure virtual]

Returns an object for iterating the landmarks in the database.

Pre-condition
Database is initialized (see IsInitializingNeeded ).
The iterator object is reset, so that the first CPosLmItemIterator::NextL call will return the first landmark ID.

The client takes ownership of the returned iterator object.

This function requires ReadUserData capability.

leave
KErrPosLmNotInitialized Database is not yet initialized.

LandmarkIteratorL(const TPosLmSortPref &)

CPosLmItemIterator * LandmarkIteratorL ( const TPosLmSortPref & aSortPref ) [pure virtual]

Returns an object for iterating the landmarks in the database.

Pre-condition
Database is initialized (see IsInitializingNeeded ).
The iterator object is reset, so that the first CPosLmItemIterator::NextL call will return the first landmark ID.

This overload of the iterator function takes a sort preference object as input. The sort preference object specifies how the landmarks should be sorted by the iterator. Only sorting by landmark name is supported.

The client takes ownership of the returned iterator object.

This function requires ReadUserData capability.

leave
KErrNotSupported Sorting by another attribute than name is requested.
leave
KErrPosLmNotInitialized Database is not yet initialized.

Parameters

const TPosLmSortPref & aSortPref A sort preference object.

NotifyDatabaseEvent(TPosLmEvent &, TRequestStatus &)

void NotifyDatabaseEvent ( TPosLmEvent & aEvent,
TRequestStatus & aStatus
) [pure virtual]

Listens for database events.

This function is asynchronous and it will complete the request status when an event occurs. At this time aEvent input parameter is updated and the client can read event information from it.

Event listening can be cancelled by calling CancelNotifyDatabaseEvent .

This function requires ReadUserData capability.

panic
"Landmarks Client"-EPosEventNotifierAlreadyHasOutstandingRequest Client already has an outstanding NotifyDatabaseEvent request.

Parameters

TPosLmEvent & aEvent Upon completion contains the event information.
TRequestStatus & aStatus Upon completion contains status of the request. KErrNotSupported if events are not supported. KErrNone if an event occured, otherwise an error code if some error was encountered.

OpenL()

IMPORT_C CPosLandmarkDatabase * OpenL ( ) [static]

Opens the default landmark database.

The client takes ownership of the returned database handle.

The database may have to be initialized before it can be used, see IsInitializingNeeded and InitializeL .

This function requires ReadUserData capability.

OpenL(const TDesC &)

IMPORT_C CPosLandmarkDatabase * OpenL ( const TDesC & aDatabaseUri ) [static]

Opens a specific landmark database.

The client refers to a database by URI. The URI consists of a protocol specifier and the database location: "protocol://location". If the client does not specify a protocol, "file://" will be assumed.

For local landmark databases, the URI consists of the drive and the database file name, e.g. "c:landmarks.ldb". The path cannot be specified by the client. The extension of the database file name must be "ldb" otherwise the client will get the error KErrArgument .

If the client specifies a local database and does not specify the drive letter, e.g. "landmarks.ldb", default database drive will be assumed.

The client takes ownership of the returned database handle.

The database may have to be initialized before it can be used, see IsInitializingNeeded and InitializeL .

This function requires ReadUserData capability.

leave
KErrArgument Extension of the local database name is not "ldb".
leave
KErrNotSupported The protocol specified in URI is not supported.

Parameters

const TDesC & aDatabaseUri The URI of the database to open.

CPosLmOperation * PreparePartialLandmarksL ( const RArray < TPosLmItemId > & aLandmarkIdArray ) [pure virtual]

Reads partial data from a set of landmarks in the database.

Pre-condition
Database is initialized (see IsInitializingNeeded ).
Partial settings define which landmark data should be read. Partial read attributes are defined by calling SetPartialReadParametersL . If no partial read parameters have been set, the landmarks will not contain any attributes.

Note that the returned data may be very big if all attributes in each landmark are requested. A typical use for this function is to retrieve the names for a set of landmarks.

When the request is completed, the result can be retrieved by calling TakePreparedPartialLandmarksL .

The function returns an operation object which can be run in incremental mode. If it is run incrementally the client can supervise the progress of the operation.

Member Enumerations Documentation

Enum _TTransferOptions

Specifies options for importing and exporting landmarks.

Enumerators

EDefaultOptions = 0

None of the transfer option flags are set.

EIncludeCategories = 0x01

Export/Import the categories of the landmarks.

EIncludeGlobalCategoryNames = 0x02

Only useful in combination with EIncludeCategories. If set, global category names will be used in export/import even if user has renamed them. For import it means that the names of the global categories in the database are overwritten by the imported names. For export it means that predefined names of global categories in the current language will be exported instead of user-defined names.

ESupressCategoryCreation = 0x04

Only useful in combination with EIncludeCategories. If set, no new categories are created in the database when importing landmarks. This means that connections from imported landmarks will be established only to already existing categories, according to the import information.
