Forum Nokia Contest: Are you the cutest?

Participation

To participate in the code competition, you must create a working code example that utilizes Qt and Qt Mobility APIs. The code can be a traditional end-user functioned application or something that is useful for developers, such as a new framework or a new Mobility API implementation.

Note that Forum Nokia would also choose suitable code examples, applications, frameworks and resources to this contest to be published in source code on www.forum.nokia.com wiki.

Participants can create several examples and each will be eligible for an award. If you submit five applications/frameworks, you have a much better chance of winning than if you submit just one!

I've started learning from the source, and you?! :P

Symbian C++: How to use Accelerometer on Symbian 5th Edition

I'm publishing this Symbian C++ source code snippet since there is a lot of issues between S60 Platform Services and accelerometer on Flash Lite 3.x. I can describe a few here:

1) The accelerometer sensor data stop working on idle screen;
2) You have to set a high frame rate on the Flash side to get real time sensor data;
3) When connected to a socket server the Flash Lite runtime reduces the frame rate to 1 then like the previous statement we can't get real time sensor data;
4) In the chart example the memory gets full after about 12 minutes, the app crashes and usually shows a phone message: 'Not enough memory to load file'. (Thanks Steven to point it out)

The source code is based on Forum Nokia Wiki articles. Hope this help someone! :)

ReMobile: Mini Curso Gratuito Nokia WRT em Recife

O ReMobile, ou melhor Recife Mobile, é a minha tentativa pessoal para estimular o desenvolvimento de aplicativos para dispositivos Nokia em Recife. Nesta primeira edição estarei ministrando um mini curso gratuito sobre a tecnologia Web Runtime, presente em dispositivos Nokia S60.

O Web Runtime, ou WRT, permite desenvolver aplicações para celular que utilizam tecnologias Web (XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, Adobe Flash Lite). O WRT pode ser facilmente comparado aos programas dashboard do MacOSX ou os widgets do iGoogle.
O Web Runtime é uma das grandes apostas da Nokia e têm sido tema para vários concursos promovidos pela empresa.

What is Java?

Sure, It is a common question from non-tech users. While talking with a bus conductor he asked me "I have Java on my phone but please, explain what is Java".

It's important to note the widespread acceptance of the Java technology on mobile devices and also know the benefits to have Java embedded on your phone. Every technology has benefits and faults. At this point of view there isn't difference with Java technology.

Like many others Java can be used to produce and run games and softwares on cellphones and computers.
If you want learn more and maybe make a game for your cellphone you can start here.

I will be glad to help you in this new journey :)

Turn your web … mobile!

I've been working a lot in some great projects at INdT and have not enough time to make this public. So... What am I looking for making Flyer Framework a cross-platform application running in almost any SO (Windows, Linux, Maemo, S60). Am I crazy?!

Everyone wants to turn mobile devices web enabled but what we are going to reach is turn our web browser a mobile device!

How?! I'm not talking about hardware... I'm talking about USABILITY.

Did anyone think how difficult is to an end user send an application to his mobile device from a web site?! My cousin is 10 years old and he can play very complex 3D games and browse the web like no other but he doesn't know how to download or install a mobile application from a web page to his mobile device.

Providing a feature called "send application by bluetooth" on a web page will help users to send any kind of application direct from a website to a mobile device.

Flyer Framework is a kind of plugin that allows users to use advanced mobile features from any website!

Comparing Mobile Platforms: Java ME and Adobe Flash Lite

By Bruce Hopkins

If you’re a mobile developer, you may have noticed that more devices these days are supporting Adobe Flash Lite. According to the latest figures, approximately 300 million devices in the market support some form of the Flash Lite specification. Of course that’s nothing compared to the 1.2 billion (yes, that’s with a “b”) Java ME devices that are currently available, but I thought that it would be worthwhile to see the strengths and weaknesses of each platform side by side. In the tables that follow, I’ll compare the latest and greatest specifications for both platforms in the following categories:

Graphics
Multimedia
Local Device Accessibility
Security
Network Connectivity
Miscellaneous
