Lucid Screensaver v1.0
A simple screensaver project for Qt on Symbian. The screensaver is designed for Symbian^3 AMOLED devices, which allow the continuous displaying of an image with very low power consumption.
S60 Platform: Descriptor Example v2.1
This updated C++ code example demonstrates how to use descriptors (Symbian OS strings) and related APIs. The example is an S60 application that is used to run one example method or all of them. The methods write a log on the screen or into a file that demonstrates the results of different statements. The updated example has been updated to support S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: TBuf, HBufC, RBuf.
S60 Platform: Power and Resource Management Example v2.1
This updated C++ code example demonstrates the APIs that are available for figuring out battery, charger, and network status. It also demonstrates how to implement some of the power and resource management principles that have been discussed in the document S60 Platform: Effective Power and Resource Management. The updated example has been tested to support S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Main classes: CTelephony, CIdle, CActive.
S60 Platform: Time Zone Localiser Example v1.1
This C++ code example demonstrates how to convert UTC time to local time using the time zone server (RTz) and how to add, remove, or find a city in the database using the TZLocalizer API, introduced in Symbian OS v.9.1 (S60 3rd Edition). The updated example has been tested to support S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Main classes: RTz, CTzLocalizer.
S60 Platform: Thread and Active Objects Example v1.2
The example demonstrates how to create an active scheduler and how to use active objects inside a new thread. Inside the main thread (main program) the framework creates the active scheduler automatically, but inside a new thread the active scheduler must be created by the programmer. One active object is a Bluetooth device discoverer that searches Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and displays them in the listbox. The example has been tested to be compatible with S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes and headers: RThread, RSocketServer, Btnotifier.h (Bluetooth notifier API).
S60 Platform: Log Example v1.1
This C++ application demonstrates the usage of the Log Engine API provided by Symbian. The API is used to record events of interest to the user, of which they may not be immediately aware, or which are of high importance since costs are incurred, such as telephone calls. These events can be retrieved by a viewer application and displayed to the user. The Log Engine API is supported from S60 2nd Edition onwards. In the updated version, the timestamp offset of the log events has been corrected, backup & restore and scalability support has been added, and the application views have been simplified.
S60 Platform: Multiple Threads Example v1.1
This package includes a C++ Thread example program that demonstrates thread usage and synchronization. A document explaining the use of threads in Symbian OS is included in the package.
