The TelephonyInternalPSKeys.h provides Publish & Subscribe keys related to telephony call general information like remote party contact info, caller number, caller name (if present in contacts). It also provides the keys for getting status of Integrated Hands Free (IHF) while call is active.

Note: The TelephonyInternalPSKeys.h can be found in Shared Data API which is a part of S60 3rd SDK MR API Plug-In Pack v4(can be dowloaded here).

Example code

// Displays Remote party caller name, if present in contacts
void CTelephonyKeysAppUi::GetCallerName()
    {    
    TBuf<50> info;
   	TInt ret=RProperty::Get(KPSUidTelephonyCallHandling,KTelephonyCLIName,info);  
   	if(ret!=KErrNone)
   		{
   		if(ret==KErrNotFound)
   		CEikonEnv::InfoWinL(_L("Remote Party"),_L("Name Not Found"));    	
   		}
   	else
   		{ 		
                CEikonEnv::InfoWinL(_L("Remote Party Name:"),info);	
   		}   	
    }

// Displays Remote party caller number  
void CTelephonyKeysAppUi::GetCallerNum()
    {     
    TBuf<50> info;
TInt ret=RProperty::Get(KPSUidTelephonyCallHandling,KTelephonyCLINumber,info);  	
 	if(ret!=KErrNone)
   		{
   		if(ret==KErrNotFound)
   		CEikonEnv::InfoWinL(_L("Remote Party"),_L("Number Not Found"));
   		}
   	else
   		{ 		
                CEikonEnv::InfoWinL(_L("Remote Party Number:"),info);	
   		}
    }

// Displays Integarted hands free status
void CTelephonyKeysAppUi::GetIHFStatus()
	{
	TInt value;
	TInt ret = RProperty::Get(KPSUidTelephonyAudio,KTelephonyIhfMode,value);
	if(KErrNone==ret)
		{		
	CAknInformationNote* informationNote = new (ELeave) CAknInformationNote;
		TBuf<30> msg;
		switch(value)
    		{
    		case EPSTelephonyIhfOff:
    			{
   			msg.Copy(_L("IHF is OFF"));
   			informationNote->ExecuteLD(msg);
   			break;	
   			}   	
   		case EPSTelephonyIhfOn:
   			{
   			msg.Copy(_L("IHF is ON"));
   			informationNote->ExecuteLD(msg);
   			break;	
   			}   	
   		}	
		}
	}
