View Details on Advanced Features of Symbian OS Such as User
Interfaces, Files and Views, Multimedia Services and Communications,
and Messaging
DUBLIN, Ireland-- Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c66163) has announced the
addition of “Symbian OS C++ for Mobile Phones: Programming with
Extended Functionality and Advanced Features, Volume 2” to their
offering.
Get up to speed on Symbian OS v7.0s with this new, from the source
reference guide. After a brief introduction to Symbian OS fundamentals
the book focuses on describing the interaction between the OS and the
application, broadly following the lifecycle of an application. It
describes the new features particular to v7.0s and provides conceptual
and theoretical underpinnings to give the reader a thorough
understanding of the OS. It aims to build a general understanding of
Symbian OS, not just for a particular smartphone or UI. This book is
packed with codes and examples. It details advanced features such as
user interfaces, files and views, multimedia services and
communications, and messaging.
This book is a second and companion text to Harrisons original volume,
Symbian OS C++ for Mobile Phones (SCMP), published in 2003. It will
only briefly cover in an early, introductory chapter Symbian OS
fundamentals, such as error handling, object creation and destruction,
descriptors and active objects. Thereafter it will describe those new
features particular to V7.0 (s) and it will provide conceptual and
theoretical underpinnings of the OS to give developers a thorough
understanding of Symbian OS. Its central approach will be to describe
the interaction between the OS and the application, broadly following
the lifecycle of an application. At each stage of the lifecycle for
example, on application startup it will describe what actions take
place in the OS, what the system does for the application and what the
system expects the application to do.
In contrast to other available and forthcoming titles, its central
approach describes the interaction between the OS and the application,
broadly following the lifecycle of an application. At each stage of the
lifecycle for example, on application startup it will describe what
actions take place in the OS, what the system does for the application
and what the system expects the application to do. The book covers
aspects of Symbian OS not available in v7.0 (SCMP), which are
introduced by Symbian OS v7.0s.
Key Topics Covered Include:
* Symbian OS Fundamentals
* Symbian OS User Interfaces
* A Running Application
* Using Controls and Dialogs.
* Views and the View Architecture
* Files and the Filing System
* Multimedia Services
* Comms and Messaging.
* Testing on Symbian OS
* Code Coverage Analysis
