My app needs to delete all contacts from this device. It looks like I
should use the Notification Manager to broadcast SysNotifyDBDeletedEvent
to the Contacts app to let it know I deleted the AddressDB. Is this
correct?
I haven't been able to find any documentation that speaks directly to
this. Right now if I only delete the AddressDB it looks like the
contacts app is recreating the AddressDB from the ContactsDB-Padd
database.
Here is a snippet of code (is this right?):
ETINT32 retval = ERR_Success;
LocalID dbID;
Err err = ERR_Success;
dbID = DmFindDatabase(0, addrDBName);
// Call the base class DeleteAllLocalRecords to remove the AdressDB
retval = EPalmDatastoreBase::DeleteAllLocalRecords();
if( retval == ERR_Success )
{
// Check for Notification feature
ETUINT32 value;
err = FtrGet( sysFtrCreator, sysFtrNumNotifyMgrVersion, &value );
if( err == ERR_Success && value )
{
// Notification Manager is available
SysNotifyDBDeletedType dbInfo;
dbInfo.oldDBID = dbID;
dbInfo.cardNo = 0;
dbInfo.dbName = addrDBName;
dbInfo.creator = addrDBCreator;
dbInfo.type = addrDBType;
err = SysNotifyBroadcastDeferred( &dbInfo, sizeof(
SysNotifyDBDeletedType ) );
}
}
Thanks,
Aaron Hansen
