OPX's and Cell Tracker app. — OPL Questions — All About Symbian Forum Archive

I was wondering if there were any experienced C++ people out there who are capable of writing new OPX's for OPL?
I detest C++ but found an API call that returns the Cell ID of the current GSM cell.
I'd like to have a call to an OPX that can return the Cell ID to an OPL program.

Does anybody remember Mapper for the Series 3a and Series 5?

Steve Lichfield has kindly given me the source code to port it to the 9210. It would be nice to include a Cell Tracker to automatically locate yourself on the map. I don't have the first clue about C++. I wonder why people insist in using it for development kits! It's crazy!

Is there someone out there who would be capable of writing us an OPX to return the current Cell ID.

Cell Tracker was such a top program on the 9110. I'd love to have something like it on the 9210.

I wait in hope.

Kind regards,

Post the c++ code here plz 😊 (the call you've found)

C++ is just the universal language and it compiles to native machine code, so it will always be one of the most powerfull.

The header file you need to look at is etelbgsm.h

The two calls are...

MBasicGsmPhoneNetwork::TCurrentNetworkInfo ni;
RBasicGsmPhone::GetCurrentNetworkInfo(ni);

This is virtually meaningless to me, but I think returns the cell id as a long integer.

Any help with writing an OPX would be GREATLY appreciated.

Kind regards

There is a great example at symbian.com for writing opx, and it really doesn't seem that hard. But I'm already over my head in work. :s
Made to many promises which I'm not about to break 😉
