Re: bluetooth point to point chat

I don't know for Bluetooth, but for many things that have nothing to do with screen, keyboard and touchscreen, Symbian is Symbian, whether it has S60 or UIQ on top. For example, the whole networking stuff is portable between S60 and UIQ, so if you find S60 sample code you can use it also for an UIQ phone, given you just rewrite any user interface code.

Did you check whether you can find the classes that the S60 code uses for the Bluetooth functions in the UIQ SDK documentation? If yes, there is a good chance that things are compatible.

Re: bluetooth point to point chat

Looking at your post in NewLC and other forums, you want a ready-made, simple BT chat application. There are ones already, but you think they are not simple enough because you do not understand the code.

I suggest you take the one pointed to you that works in UIQ and start learning. Or switch to J2ME, which is simpler. Or if you think everything is too complicated and you do not want to invest the time to learn, you can think of something else to do.

Re: bluetooth point to point chat

Bluetooth programming in Symbian C++ is not easy. You need to do device discovery and service discovery, which are asynchronous operations, and complicated to implement. Luckily, there are example code to look at. You just need to read some tutorials, SDK help topics and study the code carefully. There's no workaround, I'm afraid....

Also, the BT apps do not work on the emulator, so you need to work and debug on the actual phone. The usual ways of using debugger breakpoints to study the flow of code cannot be used, unless you can do device debugging.

Good luck in learning!

Re: bluetooth point to point chat


Hi Andreas,

Thank you for your reply. Right now I have developed a small connectivity application for bluetooth on UIQ. I have also successfully connected bluetooth dongle with emulator. But when I search for other bluetooth devices using this dongle in the emulator it just keeps on blinking text "Searching". But does not do so.

Please can you guide me in this matter.

With Regards,
Raghavendra
