I did get part of this to work by setting a global g_bAppOnCard boolean,
then if they eject the card, I successfully exit the application, but if the
application was started from RAM, then the default value of my boolean is
used, therefore we don't exit the app.
Next though I would like to prevent the OS from deleting the app from RAM
after an eject. According to the SDK, setting the bit below should do it, I
had no luck.
I would still like the sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch notification, but if I'm
forced to set the err to errNone in order for the flag to stick, then I
changed my code to:
Hence, now I don't have that break, therefore I handle the
sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch with the same notification, in both cases, the
VFS manager still removes the app.
Any ideas?
case sysAppLaunchCmdCardLaunch:
{
SysAppLaunchCmdCardType *params =
(SysAppLaunchCmdCardType*)cmdPBP;
params->startFlags = sysAppLaunchStartFlagNoAutoDelete;
params->err = errNone;
_bAppOnCard = true;
//break;
}
case sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch:
{
TraceInit();
DisplayMemInfo( __FILE__, __LINE__, false );
// Initialize application.
err = AppStart ();
if (!err)
{
// Show the main form.
FrmGotoForm (HomeForm);
AppEventLoop ();
AppStop ();
//~84K of global variables will still be cleared out
}
DisplayMemInfo( __FILE__, __LINE__, false );
break;
}// end of sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch
