Any C++ questions specific to the P800 SDK?

uhm.. 3.5years? ehm.. did it took so long to develop everything and prepare for mass production?!?

It's a big system...

I'm assumming you started work on Pamela right?

What do your personally think of the machine?

I'm sure there'll be some developers with question after the weekend.

Yes. Or actually, before there were any hardware at all.

It's a good piece of technology. That's all I can say. 😉

meero:is there a nice, free sdk for p800 with emu etc like for nokia devices?
where can i find it?
thanks

Hi Meero,

is there a public API in SDK to access the camera? I've heard that it doesn't exist, how about in future releases?

Hi, must i really need to use code warrior ($$) to use the UIQ emulator? It's so expensive.

Will my Series 60 apps (without modification) run on P800 machines?

Will Symbian 6.1 apps (without change) run on Symbian 7.0 ?

Thanks.

MirekCz, you can download a pre-release of the P800 SDK at
http://www.symbian.com/developer/SDKs.html

Mamu, there is no public Symbian API for accessing the camera yet. It's quite possible there will be in a future release. However, there should already be device specific APIs for the camera that you might find.

Jssing, I beleve you should be able to use the SDK without CodeWarrior, but I'm not entirely sure since I haven't tried it myself (I still use DevStudio).

A Series 60 application will not run without modifications on a P800. Adapting a Series 60 app to P800 should however not be too complicated unless you rely on APIs very specific to the Series 60.

An application compiled for a Symbian 6.1 device will most likely run on a 7.0 device.

No library for MS Visual C++ provided in UIQ7.0 SDK. This means, it is not possible to use DevStudio with UIQ7.0 SDK. It's a dirty strategy of Metrowerk marketing.

hi Meero,

this is not really specific to p800 but it's somewhat a general question,

anyway, how do you exatly make your app 'sit' and listen for user activities? like incoming sms, calls etc.,

there's really not much resources around to seek help so i hope you could help me,

thanks for your time, 😊

It is not a dirty strategy of MetroWerk, Symbian wants to get rid off Microsoft. Its Symbian policy and go Symbian go 😃!

Meero,
Are there any API's to control the phone call on P800 ?. I mean, if I want to get information about the call ( phone number, duration, etc) either during the call or after the call ended, what is the mechanism ?

thanks,
Forrest

Sami:nope, it's rather Symbian wants to make us pay for metroworks.. which isn't great for everyone.. especially ppl starting Symbian programming.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to develop a Bluetooth application for my P800 mobile phone. I was wondering if this is actually possible at all. If yes, is it possible with Java or C++?

Thanks.

I would think C++ would be the way to go - The UIQ SDK has API's which will just about support anything you want to do with BlueTooth.

I'm not sure if PersonalJava supports it, I gave up on java dev on mobiles after find MIDP very limited in scope.

So u mean it is technically possible to programme the Bluetooth in the P800? That's really all I'm interested in. As long as it is technicall possible, I don't care about the programming platform. 😊

If your interested in any communications programming for the P800 - Theres a good book on the Symbian website (under developers:books)

It's got a couple of good chapters specifically on Bluetooth programming on the P800

ok cool! thx for ur help 😊
