Introduction

Here is a small code snippet which creates a Alarm Clock in Python.This application is designed to make an alert sound at a specific date and/or time. The application is tested on S60 5th Edition SDK but the code below can also be used with S60 5th Edition pre-releases (some changes might be required for porting). Learn how to use PySymbian with 5th Edition SDK here: Archived:PySymbian for 5th Edition with sample applications.

Code Snippet

Below is the code snippet for Alarm clock application.

import e32
import time
import appuifw
 
def quit():
    app_lock.signal()
    appuifw.app.exit_key_handler=quit
 
def play_sound():
    from audio import *
    f = 'C:\\Nokia\\Sounds\\Digital\\28050.amr' 
    s = Sound.open(f)#open sound file
    s.play()#play sound file
 
 
def alarm(): #function to compare time.
    def wait():
      t = list(time.localtime())
      n = time.mktime(t)
      t[3] = t[4] = t[5] = 0
      t[2] += 1
      return time.mktime(t) - n
 
    timer=e32.Ao_timer()
    w = wait()
    while w > 60:
      h = w / 3600
      m = w % 3600 / 60
      s = w % 60
      print "Alarm on !"
      print "waiting %02d:%02d:%02d ..." % (h, m, s)
      timer.after(s or 60)
      w = wait()
 
    timer.after(w)
    appuifw.note(u"Alarm time" + unicode(note)) #display note on alarm
    play_sound() #play sound on alarm
 
 
tx=appuifw.Text()
tx.color=(255,0,0)
tx.font=u"Nokia Hindi S6017" # specify font
tx.style = appuifw.STYLE_BOLD
tx.clear() #Clear the window
 
appuifw.app.body=tx
tx.add(u"The Current Time is "+ unicode(time.localtime())
tx.add(u"\n >Click options to set new alarm")
 
 
appuifw.app.menu=[(u'Quick Alarm', alarm),(u'Exit', quit)] # Set menu options
 
app_lock=e32.Ao_lock()
app_lock.wait()

Screenshots

Further Development

A lot of improvements can be done to the code presented in this article. For example,

• The graphics of the application can be customized using the graphics module.
• A topwindow or a pop-up alert could be added.
