Leverage features of the Nokia Energy Profiler
|
The Nokia Energy Profiler is an application for S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 and later devices from Nokia. It gives developers and device users information on power consumption and a number of other key device-performance indicators. |
The Nokia Energy Profiler External APIs provide two sets of APIs that enable third-party application developers to leverage and extend the capabilities of the Nokia Energy Profiler application.

What can I do with the Nokia Energy Profiler External APIs?
The Nokia Energy Profiler External APIs provide two sets of APIs:
- The control APIs. These APIs provide for controlling the capture of energy-profile information by the Nokia Energy Profiler and for directing
profile data to a third-party application. When a third-party application has requested the Nokia Energy Profiler to record
a profile, the third-party application may trigger screen captures and set markers in the profile data.
Typically the control APIs are used to enable an application to control profile capture, instead of relying on a user, or to provide profile data to a third-party application that may be designed to take action when certain power or energy-consumption levels are reached. - The data and statistics APIs. These APIs enable the creation of Nokia Energy Profiler plug-ins that collect additional data and display information about that data. The APIs include a feature that automatically creates a real-time plot of the additional data captured. For example, developers could use the data APIs to display and record the device’s speed using information from a built-in GPS unit. The statistics APIs then could be used to plot a graph and determine key statistics about the captured data. Such data could determine whether power consumption was affected by the device’s motion.
For these APIs to be available, the Nokia Energy Profiler must be running on the target device.
What's in the Nokia Energy Profiler External APIs?
The tool contains API headers and libraries that can be installed into the S60 3rd Edition SDK for Symbian OS, supporting Feature Pack 1 or later. Documentation and two example applications also are provided.
How do I get started with the Nokia Energy Profiler External APIs?
To take advantage of the Nokia Energy Profiler External APIs, first you need to be familiar with developing Symbian C++ applications. The APIs install into any S60 development environment designed for creating applications for S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 or later. Two example applications, one using the control APIs and the other using the data and statistics APIs, are provided as a guide to using the APIs.
