S60 Platform: Camera Example with AutoFocus Support
This C++ application implements the basic features of the built-in camera using the On-board Camera API classes MCameraObserver and CCamera (supported from S60 2nd Edition onwards). Also auto focus is supported via an AF extension library provided in the package
(supported in S60 3rd Edition, FP1).
S60 Multimedia Framework eLearning
This eLearning module provides the developer with a client’s view of the Multimedia Framework and the APIs or interfaces available to use when writing applications. It begins with a look at the architecture of the Multimedia Framework, and then goes on to discuss the Client APIs supported by the Multimedia Framework, namely the Audio Interface, the Tone player Interface, the Audio Streaming interface and the Video Interface. The eLearning module concludes with a demonstration showing how to use one of the client APIs.
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.
S60 Platform: Music Application Developer's Guide
This document provides guidance on using S60 multimedia APIs to create music applications for S60 3rd Edition and future devices. The document contains descriptions and examples that illustrate the use of multimedia APIs to accomplish common operations for music applications. In addition, this document covers alternative techniques for accomplishing similar operations while explaining the design tradeoffs between the different approaches.
S60 Platform: Video Example v2.0
This C++ code example demonstrates how to play and record video files.
CVideoRecorderUtility and CCamera classes are used to record a video clip, and the CVideoPlayerUtility class is used to play, stop, and pause video clips and show the video clip information. In addition, playing a video clip in an external viewer using a document handler method is demonstrated in this example.
Video APIs are part of the Multimedia Framework (MMF) that is supported from Symbian OS v7.0s (S60 2nd Edition) onwards (on the Nokia 6600 it is only possible to play video).
Main classes: CVideoRecorderUtility, CVideoPlayerUtility, CCamera, CFeatureDiscovery.
S60 Platform: Audio Streaming Example v2.0
Audio Streaming Example demonstrates the use of Audio Streaming API that provides functionality for recording audio stream into a buffer and playback of the audio buffer. Besides playing, recording, and stopping the audio stream, the recorded audio stream can be saved into a file and further loaded to be played again. PCM and AMR-NB-encoded sample files are included in the package. Audio Streaming API is part of the Symbian Multimedia Framework (MMF) and supported from S60 2nd Edition onwards. Main classes: CMdaAudioInputStream, CMdaAudioOutputStream, MMdaAudioInputStreamCallback, MMdaAudioOutputStreamCallback.
S60 Platform: Image Converter Example v2.0
This C++ example demonstrates how to use the image conversion APIs available in the S60 platform (Image Conversion Library, ICL) to open, rotate, scale, and save the image in the same or a different format. Main classes: CBitmapRotator, CBitmapScaler, CImageEncoder, CImageDecoder.
S60 Platform: Sound Mixer Example v2.0
This updated example application demonstrates how to play a maximum of 16 simultaneous voices. The example has eight blocks moving on the screen and playing sounds when they hit a wall or each other.
S60 Platform: Audio Output Streaming Example v1.1
This updated C++ example application demonstrates the key functionalities of the Audio Streaming API by playing generated waveforms and pcm sound data from a file.
Nokia 7710: In-Depth Developer's Guide
This documentation package gives you a comprehensive look inside the Nokia 7710 multimedia smartphone. It starts with the UI framework, going through instructions on how to build applications, and finally discusses porting existing software to the Nokia 7710.
Series 60 Platform 1st/2nd Edition: Call Recorder Example
This example shows how to record phone calls (from a telephony uplink and a microphone) into wav files. In addition, the example demonstrates how to play audio files, show a progress bar, and use active objects to listen to the phone line.
Symbian OS: Creating Audio Applications In C++
This document describes how to use the capabilities of Symbian OS to record and play audio content.
Symbian OS: Multimedia Framework And Other Multimedia APIs
This document describes the multimedia framework (MMF) introduced in Symbian OS v7.0s as well as the related servers and libraries that are commonly used in multimedia applications. This document is mainly considered as background information on how the multimedia system is implemented in Symbian OS, since developers do not typically write their code to run directly within that framework.
