Nokia Eseries SDK Plug-Ins for S60 C++ SDKs

Tool Details

Nokia Eseries SDK Plug-Ins for S60 C++ SDKs

The Nokia Eseries SDK plug-ins enable developers to take full advantage of the additional features of Nokia Eseries enterprise devices such as the Nokia E60 WCDMA/EDGE device, the Nokia E61 WCDMA/EDGE device, and the Nokia E90 Communicator. The Nokia Eseries SDK plug-ins enhance and extend S60 3rd Edition platform SDKs for Symbian OS, for C++.

C++ application developers can develop and test applications in the emulator and on a device, using their preferred integrated development environment (IDE). Each SDK includes the APIs required to use the features that have been added to Nokia Eseries devices, such as printing or external presentation. Use of these APIs is supported through comprehensive documentation and example applications.

A Nokia Eseries SDK plug-in together with the appropriate S60 3rd Edition SDK provides all the tools required to build and test enterprise applications for Nokia Eseries devices.

Feature descriptions

External view framework
The framework facilitates the development of applications and associated device drivers to allow users to utilize an external viewing or display device (for example, a projector.) The framework enables the development and testing of such applications and drivers in the emulator environment. This framework was first introduced in Series 80 2nd Edition devices.

Printing framework
The framework allows developers to create new applications or update existing applications to produce hard copy output via an external printing device. The emulator supports the testing and debugging of applications that need printing capabilities. The same framework was first introduced in Series 80 2nd Edition devices.

E-mail LED API
The E-mail LED API allows applications to monitor and control the e-mail LED present on certain Eseries devices via Central Repository.

Camera
The Camera APIs present in the Nokia E70 device conform to the Symbian Onboard Camera API. Thus, applications written using these APIs can be run on the enterprise devices. The camera feature of the SDK enables emulation of the Nokia E70 camera in the emulator environment. Developers can therefore build and test applications that take and process images from within the emulator environment, using real-life images.

Eseries devices’ look and feel
The emulator’s look and feel can be modified to correspond to selected Nokia Eseries devices. An emulator skin can be selected to suit particular development or marketing needs.

Nokia Eseries Device Identification API
The Nokia Eseries Device Identification API allows applications to detect whether they are being installed on or are running on an Eseries device. An installation check can be used to trigger the installation of a different version of the application on a non-Eseries S60 3rd Edition device. The run-time check can be used to vary the behavior of an application based on the device on which it is installed.

Preview pop-up
The preview pop-up component is a new UI component that enables applications to use areas of a wide screen easily and efficiently.

List stretching
List stretching enables double-style lists to be shown as single-style lists.

Documentation and examples
The SDK plug-in includes comprehensive documentation and additional example applications to illustrate the use of plug-in features.
