Overview

This article explains how to detect focus change events in Qt applications on Symbian.

Description

Qt applications need to reimplement QApplication::symbianEventFilter() in order to get notification of foreground application changes, ie. focus lost & gained events. This is needed because focusInEvent(), focusOutEvent(), or hideEvent() from the QWidget class are not called on the Symbian platform when the foreground application changes.

Solution

Define an application class that inherits QApplication and reimplement symbianEventFilter():

  #include <QDebug>
 
#ifdef Q_OS_SYMBIAN
#include <QSymbianEvent>
#include <w32std.h>
#endif
 
 
class MyApplication : public QApplication
{
public:
MyApplication( int argc, char** argv ) : QApplication( argc, argv ) {}
 
#ifdef Q_OS_SYMBIAN
protected:
bool symbianEventFilter( const QSymbianEvent* symbianEvent ) {
const TWsEvent *event = symbianEvent->windowServerEvent();
 
if( !event ) {
return false;
}
 
switch( event->Type() ) {
case EEventFocusGained: {
qDebug() << "Focus gained";
break;
}
case EEventFocusLost: {
qDebug() << "Focus lost";
break;
}
default:
break;
}
 
// Always return false so we don't stop
// the event from being processed
return false;
}
#endif // Q_OS_SYMBIAN
};
