Simple Screen Saver - it is a screen saver that displays the following information:

• current day of the week
• date
• time
• count of recent missed calls
• count of unread messages
• count of new downloaded emails

Screen saver looks like:

Count of recent missed calls and count of unread messages are calculated using the сlasses, that describes in following articles:

• How to get the count of recent missed calls
• How to get the count of different unread messages

But for a screensaver these methods absolutely superfluous as this information can be received as follows:

  TInt err;
  TIndicatorPayload payload;
  TInt missedCalls = 0;
  TInt newMessages = 0;
  //For missed calls
  err = iHost->GetIndicatorPayload ( EScreensaverIndicatorIndexNewMissedCalls, payload );
  if ( !err )
      missedCalls = payload.iInteger;
  //For new messages
  err = iHost->GetIndicatorPayload ( EScreensaverIndicatorIndexNewMessages, payload );
  if ( !err )
      newMessages = payload.iInteger;

and etc. This is not included in the sample.
