Overview

The LocationAPI was developed to facilitate access to to Location information on Symbian OS devices, without the Symbian/C++ code conventions. It's very useful for Qt and OpenC/C++ programmers to create LBS enabled applications.

Header

 //Location header
#include <LocationIntf.h>
 
class Example: public PositionListener
  {
  public:
	/**
	 * C++ default constructor
	 */
	Example();
 
	/**
         * Example virtual destructor
	 */
	virtual ~Example();
 
	/**
	 * Callback function for receiving data events
         * Inherited from PositionListener interface
         */
	void receivePos( PositionData ); 
 
  private: //ATRIBUTES
        Position *iPosis;
        Location *iPositioner;
};

Source

/CPP FILE
 
//Example header file
#include "Example.h" 
 
Example::Example()
{
     iPositioner = Location::create();
     iPositioner->start( this );
}
 
Example::~Example()
{
     if ( iPositioner )
     {
        iPositioner->stop();
	delete iPositioner;
	iPositioner = NULL;
     }
}
 
void Example::receivePos( PositionData )
{
     //do sth with GPS data
}
