S60 Platform: HTTP Client Example
This updated C++ application demonstrates simple HTTP GET and POST transactions using the HTTP Client API. Basic HTTP authentication is also supported. The updated v2.2 example uses application-level roaming (introduced in S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 onwards). The updated example has been tested to support S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: RHTTPSession, RHTTPTransaction, RHTTPHeaders, MHTTPDataSupplier, MHTTPAuthenticationCallback, MHTTPTransactionCallback.

S60 Platform: Bluetooth Point-to-Multipoint Example
This C++ example application demonstrates the use of Bluetooth technology: device and service discovery, connection establishment to one or more devices, communication between devices, and disconnection. The Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol (RS-232 serial port emulation) is used as the transport protocol. For device discovery, the example provides two implementations, based on Generic Inquiry and the considerably faster Limited Inquiry (LIAC). Note that LIAC requires signing with a developer certificate. The updated example has been modified to support S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: RSocketServ, RHostResolver, CSdpAgent, SdpSearchPattern, RSdp

S60 Platform: Access Points Example with Roaming Support
This C++ code example demonstrates how an application can open an Internet connection and manage access points. The application opens a connection to a predefined Internet access point (IAP). From S60 3rd Edition, FP2 onwards, a predefined service network access point (SNAP) is used, which enables application-level roaming. Note that access point management features implemented as an option in the example require WriteDeviceData and NetworkControl capabilities. This application has been tested to support S60 5th Edition and touch UI. The example package contains a video demonstrating how to use the application. Documentation about application-level roaming and service network access points is provided in the C++ Developer's Library Extension for S60 3rd Edition FP2 MR/Communication section. Important classes: MMobilityProtocolResp, TAccessPointInfo, CActiveCommsMobilityApiExt, CCmApplicationSettingsUi, TCmSettingSelection, TBearerFilterArray.

S60 Platform: Bluetooth API Developer's Guide
This document provides information on how to develop Bluetooth applications in C++. In Symbian OS, the Bluetooth API consists of various components, and there are also some additional S60 APIs. The document describes how to perform typical Bluetooth tasks such as discoverability and service advertising, device and service discovery, and communication using different protocols. Security and platform security, configurations, and changes in the Bluetooth API v2 architecture (introduced in S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 2) are also described. The document provides several code snippets from separately published code examples.

S60 Platform: End-to-End Device Management Example
This example adds device management features to the earlier published Symbian OS: End-to-End HTTP API Example. It demonstrates how to implement a simple DM adapter in the S60 2nd and 3rd Edition devices that interact with a device management server, how to set up and use a custom DM server, how to store and update the data received from the DM server and to make the data available to another application. The example has been implemented using freely available back-end components (Apache, Funambol, and JBoss servers; MySQL database). The package consists of S60 client applications, WebUI components for JSP and PHP, and user account scripts for MySQL. Documentation for configuring the system is included in the package.

Open C: IRC Example
Examine this code example to learn how to use an open source IRC library and Open C to create a functional IRC client application. The example contains a simple open source C library CIRC for communicating with IRC servers that is ported to Symbian OS using Open C and called from a GUI that is implemented using Symbian C++. The use case of the example is to communicate with other IRC users on the chosen IRC server. This example also supports sending "raw" IRC commands and is therefore a fully functional client application. A document about porting experiences and example architecture is also included in the package. Important libraries/structs/functions: libc, sockaddr_in, socket, gethostbyname, connect, nonblocking.

Open C: FTP Client Example
This C/C++ code example demonstrates porting standard C software to the S60 platform. In this example, an open source FTP library (ftplib and qftp; released under GNU General Public License) written in C has been ported to Open C. In addition, a simple UI has been written in Symbian C++ to provide a GUI application. A document about porting experiences and example architecture is also included in the package. The updated version adds support for the GCCE compiler and Carbide.c++ v1.2 IDE. Main Symbian C++/S60 classes: CAknSingleNumberStyleListBox, CAknSearchField, CAknTextQueryDialog, CFileMan, StringLoader. C/Open C classes: connect, socket, setsockopt.

S60 Platform: Full-Duplex Audio Example v2.0
This C++ example application plays and records audio simultaneously, reading from the microphone and writing to the earpiece/speaker, creating a local audio feedback loop. Audio is processed in encoded format, using real-time encoding/decoding support from audio hardware. This example can also be used for creating VoIP applications on S60 2nd Edition, S60 2nd Edition FP2 and FP3. Main classes: CMMFDevSound, MDevSoundObserver.
