Hi All,

I am new to mobile development. Can anyone help out on where to start especially what are the things i need to install on my PC. Also i would like to test applications on my PC hence an emulator would be useful.

Any weblinks would be useful with some detail on how to get started..

Thanks

Hi rockzZ25! Welcome to Nokia Discussion Boards!!

Since you have posted in Python section of the Discussion Boards, I guess you are interested in developing with Python. Here are some links that would be of some help to you.

Balogopalks , please don't show to new py_s60 forumers incomplete and outdated infos ...

First new Python Forumer do you have a s60 phone ?
So you can directly test your scripts on it if you install py_s60 sis file on your phone. Look at official Sourceforge py_s60 site for downloading sis package corresponding to your phone.
There are 3 different packages : 1rd , 2nd and 3rd edition.
and 2 differents versions.
1st Edition 1.31
2nd Edition 1.31
3rd Edition 1.38

You can easily select the right package by visiting this site.

Then do you have Windows , linux , OSX ?
I only know Windows platform so i you want do develop and test script on this platform
you can follow this link for finding installation steps
Warning : S60 Symbian SDK C++ link is incorrect please see below correct link !

Finally you can download py_s60 source file and try to compile it
You could run it py_s60 on your computer and try python scripts.
You could also change py_s60 source code and make a new sis package for installing on your phone

Thanks for the reply guys....

I did try installing the SDK and python for series 60 but when i open up the emulator it doesnt shows me any python icon. I installed the SDK in it proper location c:\Symbian\......

and then there is also a nokia folder
c:\Nokia\tools\.....

but i still cant figure out how to get the python icon in the emulator.

I followed the PDf files like 'getting started with python programming for nokia' but still i dont see the python icon on the emulator.

I will be developing for Nokia 6670 and using Windows platform. For the moment i need to test the applications in the emulator but later iwill shift to the mobile set...

This is what i saw on the mobilin website

B) Testing the script with the emulator on PC
* Install Series 60 Developer Platform SDK (includes Emulator). Install "python plug-in" files from „PythonForSeries60_SDK_..._.zip“ (Nokia) into a specific folder (check documentation).
* Load your script into the Emulator (copying your *,py file to a specific folder) for testing on emulator. Open the python application via the "snake" icon on the emulator and run your script.

But i am not sure how to get the python icon on the emulator...

Can anyone please list the steps and things i need to get everything working...like which SDK i need and what should be the location of the it if any specific on the computer.

I also read on another post that there should be a PYTHON forlder in the epcroot but i dont see any PYTHON forlder.

Quick replies would be highly appreciated

Look at these posts for Python icon emulator problems :
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ead.php?t=7973
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ad.php?t=83794

SDK needed for 6680 :
Python for S60 2nd Edition FP2 (Symbian OS v8.0a)
symbian root is C:\Symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2\

I hope that these can help you

First read basic doc of symbian and try to understand which technology is availble , then try for install SDK, Dev Tools then start with example. Compile them , Then go for Books . It will help you more.
