\brief Documents related to Qt for the Symbian platform
Qt for Symbian is a C++ framework for GUI and application development
for embedded devices running Symbian. Qt for Symbian provides all
functionality required to develop rich end-user applications for devices
running S60 3.1 and later.

\title Symbian Platform Security Requirements
\ingroup qtsymbian
On Symbian, processes that access media via the network must
have the \c NetworkServices platform security capability. If the client
process lacks this capability, operations will result in errors.
This failure is indicated by a state() of Phonon::ErrorState.
Platform security capabilities are added via the
\l{qmake-variable-reference.html#target-capability}{TARGET.CAPABILITY}
qmake variable.

\section1 Required Tools
See \l{Qt for the Symbian platform Requirements} to see what tools are
required to use Qt for the Symbian platform.
\section1 Installing Qt and Running Demos
Follow the instructions found in \l{Installing Qt for the Symbian platform from a Binary Package}
to learn how to install Qt using a binary package and how to build and run Qt demos.
Follow the instructions found in \l{Installing Qt for the Symbian platform} to learn how to install Qt using
using source package and how to build and run the Qt demos.
\section1 Building Your Own Applications
If you are new to Qt development, have a look at \l{How to Learn Qt}.
In general, the difference between developing a
Qt application on the Symbian platform compared to any of the other platforms supported
by Qt is not that big.
Once you have created a \c .pro file for your project, generate the
Symbian specific \c Bld.inf and \c .mmp files this way:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_symbian-introduction.qdoc 0
For more information on how to use qmake have a look at the \l
{qmake Tutorial}. In particular, see the
\l{qmake Platform Notes#Symbian platform}{qmake Platform Notes} for
details of Symbian-specific build settings.
Now you can build the Qt for the Symbian platform application with
standard build tools.
\section2 Alternative Build Targets
By default, running \c make will produce binaries for the emulator.
However, the Symbian platform comes with several alternative
build targets that can be used to create binaries for target hardware
and deploy them on devices, as shown in the table below:
\table
\row \o \c debug-winscw \o Build debug binaries for the emulator (default).
It is currently not possible to build release
binaries for the emulator.
\row \o \c debug-gcce \o Build debug binaries for hardware using GCCE.
\row \o \c release-gcce \o Build release binaries for hardware using GCCE.
\row \o \c debug-armv5 \o Build debug binaries for hardware using RVCT.
\row \o \c release-armv5 \o Build release binaries for hardware using RVCT.
\row \o \c run \o Run the application on the emulator.
\row \o \c runonphone \o Run the application on a device.
\row \o \c deploy \o Deploys the project into a device.
\row \o \c sis \o Create signed \c .sis file for project.
\row \o \c unsigned_sis \o Create unsigned \c .sis file for project.
\row \o \c installer_sis \o Create signed \l{Smart Installer}{smart installer}
\c .sis file for project.
Smart installer will attempt to download
missing dependencies in addition to
just installing the application.
\row \o \c unsigned_installer_sis \o Create unsigned \l{Smart Installer}{smart installer}
\c .sis file for project.
\row \o \c stub_sis \o Create a stub sis to allow upgradability of projects
that are deployed in ROM
\endtable
The following lines perform a debug build for the emulator
and deploy all the needed files:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_symbian-introduction.qdoc 1
To work on your project in Carbide, simply import the \c .pro file
by right clicking on the project explorer and executing "Import...".
\section1 Running Applications from the Command Line
The application can be launched on the emulator using \c{make run} command.
The application can be launched on a device using \c{make runonphone} command.
When this command is invoked, a \c .sis file is first created as if \c{make sis}
command was invoked (see above for details).
\bold{Note:} Running the application on a device using this command requires
\c TRK application to be running on the device.
Additional environment variables that can be utilized with these commands are:
\table
\row \o \c QT_RUN_OPTIONS \o Any command line parameters you wish to pass
to your application.
\row \o \c QT_RUN_ON_PHONE_OPTIONS \o Options for runonphone application.
Execute \c runonphone from command line for
more information about available options.
\c{make runonphone} only.
\endtable
\section1 Installing Your Own Applications
To install your own applications on hardware, you need a signed \c .sis file.
(Refer to the \l{Symbian Platform Security} article for more informations about self-signing.)
The signed \c .sis file can be created with \c make \c sis target. \c sis target
is only supported for executables or projects with \c DEPLOYMENT statements.
By default the \c sis target will create signed \c .sis file for last build
target. For example, the following sequence will generate the needed makefiles,
build the project for \c debug-winscw and \c release-armv5, and create
self-signed \c .sis file for \c release-armv5 target:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_symbian-introduction.qdoc 2
If you want to use different certificate information or override the default
target for \c .sis file creation you can use the environment variables as
shown in the table below:
\table
\row \o \c QT_SIS_OPTIONS \o Options accepted by \c .sis creation. See
\l{Supported options for QT_SIS_OPTIONS}{Supported options}
below. By default no otions are given.
\row \o \c QT_SIS_TARGET \o Target for which \c .sis file is created.
Accepted values are build targets listed in
previous table. By default last build target.
\row \o \c QT_SIS_CERTIFICATE \o The certificate file used for signing.
By default self-signed certificate.
\row \o \c QT_SIS_KEY \o The certificate's private key file.
By default key is associated to self-signed certificate.
\row \o \c QT_SIS_PASSPHRASE \o The certificate's private key file's passphrase.
By default empty.
\endtable
The supported options for \c QT_SIS_OPTIONS:
\target Supported options for QT_SIS_OPTIONS
\table
\row \o -i \o Install the package right away using PC suite.
\row \o -p \o Only preprocess the template \c .pkg file.
\row \o -c <file> \o Read certificate information from a file.
\row \o -u \o Preserves unsigned package.
\row \o -o \o Creates only unsigned package.
\row \o -s \o Generates stub sis for ROM.
\row \o -n <name> \o Specifies the final sis name.
\row \o -g \o Treat gcce platform as armv5.
\row \o -d \o Skip automatic patching of the package when default certificate is used.
\endtable
Execute the \c{createpackage.pl} script without any
parameters for detailed information about options. By default no options are given.
For example:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_symbian-introduction.qdoc 4
The environment variables for \c make can also be given as parameters:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_symbian-introduction.qdoc 3
If you want to install the program immediately after creating \c .sis file,
make sure that the device is connected to the computer in "PC Suite" mode,
and use \c deploy target instead of \c sis target:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_symbian-introduction.qdoc 5
\section1 Deployment and the Smart Installer
Although some Symbian devices may already have a version of Qt installed
on them, there needs to be a way to ensure that an appropriate version
of Qt is available for your application to use. Rather than deploy the
required Qt libraries with your application, the preferred way to
package Qt applications for deployment is to download and use the Smart
Installer.
The Smart Installer makes sure that deployed applications have all the
Qt dependencies they need to run on a device, performing the necessary
updates when the user installs the application.
More information about deployment can be found in the
\l{Deploying an Application on the Symbian Platform} document.
