S60 5th Edition: Unable to load PhoneClientExt.dll

[mpurna]

I want to load the PhoneClientExt.dll in my project.

My application worked fine in 3rd edition devices, but when the same software is installed on S60 5th Edition, the below statement fails to load PhoneClientExt.dll.

"(RLibrary)iLibrary.Load(KPhoneCltExDllName)"

Can anybody reply me as to how can I load/use the PhoneClientExt.dll in s60 5th edition phones. OR if you have any alternative to this in 5th edition, please guide me further.

Thank you in advance.

yes, you can't load it as it has been removed.

If I remember right, that was removed already in 3rd ed FP2.

You need to tell us what functionality you require for that phone client was providing.

Thanks for you inputs.

I would like to provide Voice(GSM) call as well as VoIP call functionality, as it is already implemented for 3rd Edition (MR) version).

user's of Plugin SDK's are warned that API might be removed/changed in future realses. so you might try opening a support case. Also you might want to refer to "Call Audio Control API"

[Paul.Todd]

The application interworking API's (AIW) can be used as a replacement
At least that is what we have replaced our code with

http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...rking%28AIW%29

If "application interworking API's (AIW)" is used to develop the telephony functionality in 5th edition then will the application work on previous versions(backward compatibility with 3rd edition)??

Could someone please send me a sample application how to originate a GSM call, send DTMF digits and terminate a call on S60 5th edition SDK?

Thanks in advance!!

As with other PlugIn SDK apis binary compatibility is not Promised so you have to test before you release.

[Paul.Todd]

If you want the code to work across all 3rd and 5th edition versions then you will need to use CTelephony with an active object to dial the call, send dtmf and then drop the call.

The AIW API works from FP2 onwards and also supports VOIP. There are samples on the wiki to show how to use it.

Though it is beyond me why we need 4 API's to make a phone call.
