These APIs include important classes, such as CBitmapRotator and CBitmapScaler to be used for rotating and scaling images, respectively. CImageEncoder and CImageDecoder classes are used to access image encoders and decoders available in the ICL. Images can be opened, rotated, scaled, and saved in the same or a different format. The UI of the updated application has been optimised for touch using, for example, long taps and tactile feedback. The example project supports building for both S60 5th Edition with touch UI and S60 3rd Edition with a traditional keypad. Important classes: CAknLongTapDetector, MTouchFeedback, CBitmapRotator, CBitmapScaler, CImageEncoder, CImageDecoder, CFbsBitmap, CAknQueryDialog.
S60 Platform: SMS Example
This updated C++ example demonstrates programmatical handling of SMS messages. Messages
can be sent from the application and they can be received directly into the
application (that is, catching incoming messages before the user gets any
notification). In addition, messages can be deleted, copied, or moved to other
folders of the message store (inbox, outbox, drafts). The example has been updated
to be compatible with S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: CMsvSession, CMsvEntry, CMmsClientMtm, CSmsClientMtm, CClientMtmRegistry, KMsvMessagePartBody, ESmsMtmCommandScheduleCopy, CSmsSettings, CSmsHeader.

sizes, orientations, and both the touch UI and a traditional keypad.
S60 Platform: Settings Screen Example
This C++ code example explains the basic construction of settings screens, including setting item lists, setting items, and setting pages. The application consists of a single view - a Setting List that has a variety of different types of settings that can be manipulated. The application has been updated to be compatible with S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: CAknView, CAknSettingItem, CAknSettingItemList,
CAknEnumeratedTextSettingItem, CSelectionItemList.
S60 Platform: Dynamic Setting List Example
This example demonstrates how to load CAknSettingItemList dynamically at run
time instead of defining the list structure into a resource file. In the example, the lists are loaded during application startup. The example can be used as the basis for many different applications where a list has to be loaded dynamically (for instance, based on external
feed from a server). Note that CAknSettingItemList itself is not ideal for dynamic loading, but it is possible by using dummy resource IDs and defining all the required list item types in the source code. At run time it is then possible to load multiple instances of each list item type (with any label and value). The application has been updated to be compatible with S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: CAknSettingItemList.
S60 Platform: Calendar Interim API Example
This C++ application demonstrates how to add and modify anniversary entries using the Calendar Interim API (also known as CalInterim API). The Calendar Interim API replaced the Agenda Model API in Symbian OS v9.1 (S60 3rd Edition). The application has been updated to be compatible with S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: CCalEntry, CCalEntryView, CCalInstance, CCalInstanceView, CCalAlarm, CCalSession, MCalProgressCallBack.
S60 Platform: Thread and Active Objects Example
The example demonstrates how to create an active scheduler and how to use active
objects inside a new thread. Inside the main thread (main program) the framework
creates the active scheduler automatically, but inside a new thread the active
scheduler must be created by the developer. One active object is a Bluetooth device
discoverer that searches Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and displays them in
the listbox. The example has been tested to be compatible with S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes and headers: RThread, RSocketServer, Btnotifier.h (Bluetooth notifier API).
S60 Platform: Scalable Screen-Drawing Example
This C++ application demonstrates scalable screen drawing with Direct Screen Access and custom drawing routines using SVG-T icons and bitmaps. The application scales to multiple display resolutions in portrait and landscape orientations supported by the S60 platform. This example is targeted especially at games and multimedia developers who prefer developing a custom UI instead of using an automatically scaling UI, such as S60 Avkon components. Labeling for the middle softkey has been added in the updated version. The application supports middle-softkey labeling and it has been updated to be compatible with S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: CIconFileProvider, MDirectScreenAccess, MAknIconFileProvider, CCoeControl (HandleResourceChange() method and KEikDynamicLayoutVariantSwitch), CEikAppUi (ApplicationRect(), Orientation(), and SetOrientationL() methods), AknLayoutUtils (PenEnabled() method).

S60 3rd Edition: Creating Custom Message Type Modules (with Example)
Download this C++ document and code example to learn how to create Message Type Modules (MTMs) for S60 3rd Edition and later releases. The target audience is e-mail developers implementing their own e-mail protocol (for example, Push e-mail service), where preinstalled S60 platform e-mail MTMs (POP3, IMAP4) cannot be used. The package demonstrates how to develop and install an MTM, how to create an account (mailbox), how to create a simple viewer/editor implemented as a server application, how to provide support to send from other applications, and how to receive notifications of new messages. Message sending and receiving are echoed locally. Note that Symbian platform security imposes heavy capability requirements for MTMs (up to ALL -TCB capabilities) and thus the application has to be signed using the Manufacturer Approved Developer Certificate.
