/**
* Class offers functionality for resolving corresponding error texts for 
* error codes. Text Resolver API provides operations with which a specific 
* error code can be resolved to a human readable text. Descriptions for the
* different error codes must be defined in the resource files of this 
* component. 
*
* Text Resolver uses the CCoeEnv environment class to access the resource
* files if the CCoeEnv environment is available. If the CCoeEnv environment
* is not available, the files are accessed through the RResourceFile API.
*
* The API consist of the CTextResolver class which is used together with 
* Text Resolver flags defined in textresolver.hrh file. The flags are used
* to tell the priority of the error to the client:
*
* - EErrorResBlankErrorFlag is used to tell that error has no proper explanation.
* - EErrorResUnknownErrorFlag indicates that Text Resolver does not support the error. 
* - EErrorResOOMFlag Flag is returned while processing KErrNoMemory error code. 
*
*
* Usage:
*
* @code
*  #include <textresolver.h>
*
*  // Typically used as an instance variable.
*  
*  // Call the factory method NewLC() to create a new instance of CTextResolver.
*  // NewLC() method leaves the instance of the object on the cleanup stack.	
*  // The passed CCoeEnv instance is needed to access the resource files.
*  CTextResolver* iTextResolver = CTextResolver::NewLC(*iCoeEnv); 
*
*  // // Error Resolving, simple:
*
*  // Get error code to be resolved.
*  // TInt err1 = MyMethod(KInvalidValue);
*  TInt err1 = KErrNoMemory;
*    
*  TPtrC buf1;  // For returned error text
*    
*  if (err1 != KErrNone)
*      {
*      // Resolve the given error code. 
*      // The operation returns the error text for the resolved error.
*      // There's no limit how long the resolved string can be.
*      // Add context to 2nd param if needed.
*      buf1.Set(iTextResolver->ResolveErrorString(err)); 
*      }
*  else
*      {
*      // Do something.
*      }
*        
*  // Note that buf1 will only be valid as long as CTextResolver 
*  // instance is alive and no new error is resolved by the same instance.
*  // If for some reason you need to store the resolved error
*  // beyond immediate use, make a copy of it.
*
*  // Error Resolving, advanced:
* 
*  // Get error code to be resolved.
*  // TInt err2 = MyMethod(KInvalidValue);
*  TInt err2 = KErrNotSupported;
*        
*  TInt textId(0);    // ID of the returned text
*  TUint flags(0);    // Priority of the returned error 
*  TPtrC buf2;      // For returned error text
*   
*  if (err2 != KErrNone)
*      {
*      // Resolve the given error code.
*      // The operation returns the error text for the resolved error.
*      // There's no limit on how long the resolved string can be.
*      // Add Context to 4th param if needed.
*      buf2.Set(iTextResolver->ResolveErrorString(err, textId, flags)); 
*
*      if (flags & EErrorResUnknownErrorFlag)
*          {
*          // The flag indicates that Text Resolver does not support
*          // the error code.
