Question about Symbian application

[dcgiuseppe]

Hello, I'm a young student of computer science, I have to implement an application such as a Worm that it propagate to others mobile phone with bluethoot....I have already compile some example of symbian sdk but I don't have an Idea about Symbian Language "Difficulties". Do you think that it is possible create this application? I have started only with the first examples of sdk such as helloworldbasic and other... but I don't know implement on Symbian Language and I have to finish it in less than three months!..Is it possible??.....

...Sorry for my english!!!

Do you know C++ well? If yes then it'll be easier, if not, 3 months isn't very long.


If you're writing it for the SYmbian platform you could also consider writing it in Java? provided that had as much access to the bluetooth APis that the natice Symbian does (which I dont know if it does).

and I think for worm like application the support from community will not be the best, I would reconsider changing the topic completely to something more productive.

If you are new to symbian and you know C++ then 3 months are more then enough.
Try to learn from examples that are provide with series 60 SDK.
That will help you learn faster.

Cheers,

Thanks for the answers...(My question is only for study!)... I will try to implement some program...

I have another question:
It is possible to implement an application "server" on mobile phone that propagate itself and remains "active" in background?
I want that this application scans all devices (BlueTooth) every x minute (x is a prefixed time) and propagate itself!.

...this is only for study...

yeah right...

Basically you cannot propagate an application automatically from one device to another without user confirmation for installation.

But you can do an automated BT discovery for the devices in range and automatically send sis files to them. But, as I said, the user will have to confirm the installation.

Do i have to make a GUI application or a console application (.exe)???

I know that there are some differences between GUI application (MVC model....) and console appicaiont(executable file...it is accessible with fexplorer)
