This article uses a Symbian-specific Qt Mobility Extension which has been superceded by the Qt Mobility API QSystemNetworkInfo. See Get Network information using Qt for an alternative approach

Archived: This code snippets shows how to get Network name and Operator name using a Qt Mobility Extension

Prerequisite

• Download ExtXQSysInfo2.zip.
• Extract ExtXQSysInfo2.zip and place all the file in your project directory.
• Edit your .pro file as mentioned below.

Note: These files are extended from source file of XQSysInfo API. More clearly, i have just edited some file of XQSysInfo API to get Network name and Operator name. XQSysInfo::network() gives network name and XQSysInfo::operatorName() gives operator name.

Headers required

 #include <XQSysInfo>

.pro file

All source files are automatically added to .pro file by carbide, so need to add the libraries and capability only.

symbian:LIBS += -letel3rdparty \
   -lsysutil \
   -lefsrv \
   -lfeatdiscovery
 
symbian:TARGET.CAPABILITY = ReadDeviceData

Source

XQSysInfo* sysInfo = new XQSysInfo(this);
/* show network name on label */
ui.label->setText("Network Name: " + sysInfo->network());
/* show operator name on label */
ui.label_2->setText("Operator Name: " + sysInfo->operatorName());

Postconditions

The code snippet is expected to show Network name and Operator name on screen as showm bellow.

Download Code Example

• The Code Example will show network name and operator name on screen and is tested on Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
