How to use system alarm in Qt for Symbian Project

Hello guys,

Now I'm working with a project have to add and remove system alarms from Qt for Symbian^3 device, but I cannot find out any article about setting up alram by Qt. I found XQAlarms from Mobility Extension but I cannot work how to use it in my project because I do not know how to find out its headers and what libs have to add to the .pro. Please help and many thanks.

Thank you very much for helping.

The Mobility Extension API's are depricated now. Instead use QtMobility API's. Check QOrganizerItemVisualReminder to set alarms.

Also you need to add following line in your .pro file

[CODE]CONFIG += mobility
MOBILITY = organizer[/CODE]

Also add namespace "QTM_USE_NAMESPACE" to your header/source file.

Hello savaj,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Sorry I still not work out how to set alarm for the phone. What I expect is to make a system alarm clock so that the alarm will launch even if my app is closed.

Is there any code sample for this?

Organizer API's (QOrganizerItemVisualReminder) of QtMobility are right choice for setting alarms. What did you tried to set alarm?

Thanks savaj,

I'm trying to set the alarm to remind such as a TV show on 10pm, and the clock alarm should alert at 10pm without my app running.

I still looking at Organizer API's, but sorry I'm too new to Qt that I do not know how to use those APIs. Is there any sample I can reference to it?

Thanks again for helping.
