Overview

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

This snippet requires ReadDeviceData capabilities. Self-signing is not possible because a Developer certificate is needed.

Prerequisite

• Install Qt for S60:Installing Qt on S60
• Download ExtXQSysInfo2.zip.
• Extracting 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
