S60 Platform: Camera Example v3.0
This updated Symbian C++ code example demonstrates how to easily use the onboard camera with zoom and autofocus, utilising an accompanying CameraWrapper made by Forum Nokia. The Camera Wrapper supports all Nokia's S60 devices based on S60 3rd Edition and newer, providing a unified interface for various Symbian and S60 camera APIs some of which have previously been Feature Pack specific or only available via an SDK plug-in. The example application supports the use of both the keypad and touch UI. The application can be self-signed, but it also provides an option to use the dedicated camera key (Symbian signing required). The example application replaces the separate examples published for S60 3rd Edition, FP1 (S60 Platform: Camera Example with AutoFocus Support v2.2) and FP2 (S60 Camera Example AutoFocus 3rd Ed FP2).
S60 Platform: FileList Example v2.2
This updated C++ code example demonstrates how to list files in a specific directory. It helps developers in creating user-friendly applications that allow users to choose files from a list of specific file types. Middle softkey labelling is supported (introduced in S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2). The updated version has been tested to support S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: PathInfo, CDocumentHandler.
S60 Platform: Rich Text Editor Example
This updated C++ code example demonstrates the usage of Rich Text Editor. Most of the features are handled automatically when the dialog framework creates the editor. However, some steps, such as inserting an image, setting the text input type, and showing the scroll bar, require the use of methods or classes. The updated example has been modified to support S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Main classes: CEikRichTextEditor, CFbsBitmap, TPictureHeader, CPicture.
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: Audio Streaming Example v2.1
This updated C++ example application demonstrates the use of Audio Streaming API, which provides functionality for recording audio stream into a buffer, and for playback of the audio buffer. Besides playing, recording, and stopping the audio stream, the recorded audio stream can be saved into a file, to be played again later. The package includes PCM and AMR-NB encoded sample files. Audio Streaming API is part of the Symbian Multimedia Framework (MMF). The updated example has been tested to support S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: CMdaAudioInputStream, CMdaAudioOutputStream, MMdaAudioInputStreamCallback, MMdaAudioOutputStreamCallback.
S60 Platform: Image Converter Example v3.0
This example demonstrates how to use the image conversion APIs available in the S60 platform (Image Conversion Library, ICL). These APIs include important classes, such as CBitmapRotator and CBitmapScaler to be used for rotating and scaling images, respectively. CImageEncoder and CImageDecoder classes are used to access image encoders and decoders available in the ICL. Images can be opened, rotated, scaled, and saved in the same or a different format. The UI of the updated application has been optimised for touch using, for example, long taps and tactile feedback. The example project supports building for both S60 5th Edition with touch UI and S60 3rd Edition with a traditional keypad. Important classes: CAknLongTapDetector, MTouchFeedback, CBitmapRotator, CBitmapScaler, CImageEncoder, CImageDecoder, CFbsBitmap, CAknQueryDialog.
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: DBMS Example v2.1
The DBMS (Database Management System) example application demonstrates the usage of DBMS APIs. The example includes a bookstore database engine and a simple Avkon GUI for testing the engine. The example has been tested to support S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Main classes: RDbStoreDatabase, RFs.
S60 Platform: Contacts Model API Example v2.1
This C++ example is a simple application demonstrating the use of the Contacts Model API. It allows viewing contact items from the default contacts database. Each contact is shown using a custom text definition. New contacts can be imported from files that contain vCard items. A contact item can also be selected and exported to a file in the vCards format. The example has been tested to support S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: CContactTextDef, CContactIdArray.
S60 Platform: Calendar Interim API Example v1.1
This C++ application demonstrates how to add and modify anniversary entries using the Calendar Interim API (also known as CalInterim API). The Calendar Interim API replaced the Agenda Model API in Symbian OS v9.1 (S60 3rd Edition). The application has been updated to be compatible with S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: CCalEntry, CCalEntryView, CCalInstance, CCalInstanceView, CCalAlarm, CCalSession, MCalProgressCallBack.
