Hi everybody

We are 5 students at Aalborg University who have started a project including Python programming on the s60 series.

Our goal is to build an application to call other phones and to register incomming calls (and if possible the phone number of the caller).

To call other phones with Python is easy, but registration of calls doesn't seem to be possible.

Does anyone know how to do this, or maybe how to write an extension in C/C++ to do it?

Best regards

Receiving telephone calls (or callbacks) with PyS60 1.3.1 is not possible. See the source code of "telephone" extension, the callback code is already started (though not even near to finish) but commented out currently. For similar callback code, you could see e.g. "inbox" or "audio".

ETel API might not offer the incoming telephone number, see SDK documents for more information, the book by Edwards et al "Developing Series 60 Applications" might be useful also.

Hey Mikkel

We had a similar course last semester and we never found a solution on that particular problem, since the phone-package does'nt support it - and despite of many hours of searching we did'nt find any extension, so I dont think it is implemented (yet!!)

Maybe you could find something useful on this page: http://pdis.hiit.fi/pdis/download/

If the ETel API isn't offering that feature, which API could then be used instead?

The solution to this problem must be to write an extension module in C/C++. This seems to be do-able, but we are struggling to implement this new module in the Python interpreter on the phone. Does anyone know a good howto discribing how to do it step by step?
