how to start things like "speed-dial" in a python app?

[Bigmike]

Hi @ll,

I'm very new to python and I try to write a little "Favorite-Program" for my 5800 XM.

In this little Prog I wanted to put in a list with a few apps I've installed on my 5800 XM and a few Things that I wanted to start with only 1 or 2 Touches from the active-standby. Only start my app and then touch on prog x and ready


I also wanted to start the speed-dial and the wlan-assistent and 1 or 2 apps. I've installed a Python Programms called "FreiMinMon" and I found a listing to search Z: (and edited to find also on C on my phone but there wouldn't every app listed, which is installed on the phone?

How can I found this installed (and well working apps) to start them in my program?
Also how can I start the speed-dial and the wlan-assistent?

Anybody can help me?

Best regards Mike

Here is my actual very simple "program":

# Active-Standby-Tool

import appuifw, e32

L = [u'Profimail', u'X-Plore', u'BTSwitch', u'Woerterbuch', u'Neustart']
index = appuifw.selection_list(choices=L , search_field=1)

if index == 0:
   e32.start_exe('c:\\system\\apps\\ProfiMail.exe','',1)

if index == 1:
   e32.start_exe('c:\\system\\apps\\X-Plore.exe','',1)

if index == 2:
   e32.start_exe('c:\\system\\apps\\BTSwitch.exe','',1)

if index == 3:
   e32.start_exe('z:\\system\\apps\\mobiledictionary.exe','',1)
   
if index == 4:   
   	appuifw.note(u"Restart","conf",1)
	e32.start_exe(u'z:\\system\\programs\\sysstart.exe','',0)
	
else:
	appuifw.app.set_exit()

Also how can I start the speed-dial and the wlan-assistent?

Umm...actaully ur question is not clear to me.
Do u want to search for installed apps ?? There is already a module named as applist which can retrieve the list of installed apps. Download it from here :
Applist Module
use it as :

import applist

apps = applist.applist()

Moreover,

The applist function returns a list of tuples (Uid, caption, fullName). Uid is an integer

So, you can eaily find the installed apps like wlan-assistant etc. Hope it helps u..If u need more help, plz ask..

... when I'm using your script on my 5800 XM with python 1.91 beta it shows something like "no module named applist" ?

It won't work with PyS60 1.9.1, only 1.4.5.

hm - with installed 1.45 it shows "Syntax Error - invalid syntax"

You would need to install applist extension before using it.

Syntax Error - invalid syntax: This error would more likely be due to some error in the syntax of the code, rather than a missing module.

[Bigmike]

So - is there no way to simple check out the "path" of Speed-Dial and the WLAN-Assistent without installing another python and something I don't understand :-)

Best regards

IMHO, applist cannot list Speed-dial application.

Anyways, does this link help?

This link could be wonderfull but it seems that on s60v5 the path is changed on every app :-( i have tested 3 of them but i only got only "KErrBadName"↲

Big thanks anyway..

I've checked this on the 5800 of a friend (which is ha c ked) and it seems, that Python cannot acces Z:/sys/bin ? The path and the name of speed-dial is corecct but I've got still an error message, when I try to open it in my python-app.

Is there a other way to open speed-dial and wlan-assistent with python?
