The easiest way to create a .sis file would be to use the tool makesis. You can download the tool from here:
http://www.kmdarshan.com/makesis/Makesis_v1.0_by_Gip.rar
http://www.kmdarshan.com/makesis/Makesis_v1.0.zip
Also you would need to download this dll, and put it in your C:\Windows\System32 for this tool to work. you can download the dll here:
http://www.kmdarshan.com/makesis/Comdlg32.zip
good luck packaging.
Sample code to use Qtimer in Qt instead of Sleep if you want a stoppage in your code:
slideShowtimer = new QTimer(this);
selectedPicture = 0;
//QTimer::singleShot(5000, this, SLOT(slideShowHelper()));
connect(slideShowtimer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(slideShowHelper()));
slideShowtimer->start(1000);
Bare steps to implement multi threading in C++:
a. Declare a global variable, to hold the reference counts.
b. Declare CRITICAL SECTION
code:
CRITICAL_SECTION cs_test;
int loadCnt=0;
c. Now everytime you access the code you want to be protected when multiple threads access them
InitializeCriticalSection(&cs_test);
EnterCriticalSection(&cs_test);
if(loadCnt >0)
{
loadCnt++;
return
}else{
//your code here
}
LeaveCriticalSection(&cs_test);
return;
d. you could do the same for de initializing also.
e. But the best way to do the above is to implement them using class and objects.
Some tools which I really find helpful are:
a. Multimon – Support for multiple monitors
b. Process Monitor
c. Process Explorer
d. Desktops – Desktops allows you to organize your applications on up to four virtual desktops.
e. OleView – For COM purposes
f. Spy++ – For windows GUI handling
g. Resource hunter – Reading resource files. It will be helpful when your working on multiple languages.
1. Use constants with reference when passing values in between methods.
Advantage: It will reduce space and will be faster. If you use a new variable then an additional copy is made and there is a small memory hit.
Ex: method(string val)
optimal usage: method(const string &val)
Here we are passing the value by reference.
Snippet of the code to set the permissions and create a file while not granting read access to it:
DWORD dwRes;
PSID pEveryoneSID = NULL, pAdminSID = NULL;
PACL pACL = NULL;
PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR pSD = NULL;
EXPLICIT_ACCESS ea[2];
SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY SIDAuthWorld =
SECURITY_WORLD_SID_AUTHORITY;
SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY SIDAuthNT = SECURITY_NT_AUTHORITY;
SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES sa;
// Create a well-known SID for the Everyone group.
if(!AllocateAndInitializeSid(&SIDAuthWorld, 1,
SECURITY_WORLD_RID,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
&pEveryoneSID))
{
printf(“AllocateAndInitializeSid Error %u\n”, GetLastError());
goto Cleanup;
}
// Initialize an EXPLICIT_ACCESS structure for an ACE.
// The ACE will allow Everyone read access to the key.
ZeroMemory(&ea, 2 * sizeof(EXPLICIT_ACCESS));
ea[0].grfAccessPermissions = KEY_READ;

// Initialize a security attributes structure.
sa.nLength = sizeof (SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES);
sa.lpSecurityDescriptor = pSD;
sa.bInheritHandle = FALSE;

// when you create a file.

GENERIC_READ,//FILE_READ_DATA,
FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
&sa,

CloseHandle(hFile);
Cleanup:

LocalFree(pACL);
if (pSD)
LocalFree(pSD);
Finally Meego has UI to show. It looks pretty interestin.
a. Symbian fonts are finally gone.
b. Looks very much like the iPhone UI
c. Spacious icons.
d. UI development looks easy for developers.
First of all i need to give credit to www.wellho.net. I got some code from their website also to implement this.
My basic requirement was to read from the input arguments and display it as a vector of type integers.
Below is the code. Pardon me for the formatting issues. Wordpress sucks when coding:
function string:split(delimiter)
local result = { }
local from = 1
local delim_from, delim_to = string.find( self, delimiter, from )
while delim_from do
table.insert( result, string.sub( self, from , delim_from-1 ) )
from = delim_to + 1
delim_from, delim_to = string.find( self, delimiter, from )
end
table.insert( result, string.sub( self, from ) )
return result
end
Then I call the below code from my main method:
have = string.split(inputArgs, “,” )
names= {};
for index,today in pairs(have) do
if today == “1″ then
names[index] = 1;
elseif today == “2″ then
names[index] = 2;
elseif today == “4″ then
names[index] = 4;
end
end
return names; //this returns the vector of integers
Goto your res folder as shown in image below add a background image.
After adding a background image, goto the main.xml and add the below text:
<ImageView
android:layout_height=”wrap_content”
android:layout_width=”wrap_content”
android:src=”@drawable/background” />
Note: Do not add the extn to the image name, it wont recognize the file and give an error.
Next goto your main class and add the following:
super(context);
// Set the background
this.setBackgroundDrawable(this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.background));
Another way to do this would be:
Resources res = getResources();
Drawable drawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.background);
