Question

I’m very new to Symbian application development. I’m googling some beginner tutorials about Symbian development. As there are many versions and many phone vendors, I like to ask you guys who are already have experiments in Symbian development..

My target is to develop small apps for sony ericsson w960i phone that uses Symbian OS v9.1, UIQ 3.0.

The goal of application is to save all incoming/outgoing calls/messages as a backup somewhere (txt file or isolated storage) inside the app.

For example: If I call to someone, my app should receive the events of number/contact name so I can save it to somewhere else.

Can someone help me to suggest to achieve this?

Can I use Nokia Qt to develop apps for “sony ericsson w960i”? If not, which SDK should I use it for my app?

Can Nokia Qt be used to access call triggers/messages? I read that Qt can’t access the internal OS stuffs but not sure whether accessing calls/message can be considered as internal OS stuffs.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Are you absolutely sure about UIQ? This is even more dead than Symbian.

BTW, you can also use Symbian code in Qt application.
