Overview
This code example shows how to access storage information from the device. For example to get name of available drives, available space on each drive, total space on each drive and type of drive of the device. Code example use QSystemStorageInfo API from QtMobility APIs.
This snippet requires ReadDeviceData capabilities. Self-signing is not possible, a Developer certificate is needed to sign application for testing.
Prerequisite
- Install Qt for Symbian:Installing Qt on Symbian
- Install QtMobility APIs:Setting up environment for Qt Mobility API
Headers required
#include <qsysteminfo.h>.pro file
Modify your .pro file as follows.
QT += core \
gui \
network
INCLUDEPATH += d:/qtmobility/src/systeminfo
INCLUDEPATH += D:/QtMobility/src/global
CONFIG += mobility
MOBILITY = systeminfo
symbian:TARGET.CAPABILITY = ReadDeviceData
