Hi,
I'm just starting with Symbian programming.
I created a simple application using the appwizard and ran it on the emulator everything worked fine.
However I noticed that no aif file was generated. although the AIF statement was correctly included in the mmp file.
So I decided to generate it manually with the aiftool.
I used the .rss that the appwizard had created and generated a mbm file with bmconv.
Having the aif file I placed it in the same directory as the .app
however i still get the default icon and default caption.
so my question is:
is placing the .aif file in the emulator's system\apps\ myapp folder sufficient??
thanks a lot
Hi,
You are doing your effort in right direction.But you have to create the image of size 48x48 in place of 24X24.That's all.Then you will get the icon in the extra bar as well as in Z\App\<Applicationfolder> also.
Or other wise you can create the aif file from aifbuilder tool.I am writing you the steps to generate the aif file (I am assuming that you are using c++)
1)Open the aifbuilder and click on new
2)Select the tab Application
3)Select C++ and write your application name for which you are creating the icon
4)Write the Application UID Which given in you UI application.
5)Select the TAB UI Variants
6)Specify the name of MBM
7)Write the location of generated file,Ex-/epoc32/release/wins/udeb/z/system/apps/AUDIO/<yourfile>
8)Write the same location for output directory also.
9)Click create,then aifdesigner comes and you select 48x48 and create an icon and save it to your aif folder where your application store.
10)if you want to add caption then go to the tab caption other wise
11)click generate
Thats all,Now you can view you icon in the extra bar and Apps folder also.
Enjoy
