Hello,

I need to make an application that will play a video file when the user receives a call.
However I dont want to implement this by writing an application that would run in the background and when the user gets an incoming call open a video file and play it.Instead, the requirements of my application are :

1) Nothing runs in the background

2) I want to embed the video clip in my application and the video clip should not be playable directly only my application should be able to play it . So, If the user needs to play a different video he needs a different sis file for it.

3) The user can select the video clip from the Profiles menu and when a call comes the video should play.

I am relatively new to Symbian so could you please give me some pointers on getting started with this idea.How can I develop such an application in Symbian ?
Any ideas would be appreciated 😊

Thanks a lot 😊
