1 Setting up the phone

https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=854\&release_id=3264
Installed the folllowing from certificate_error_fixed:
• Python_2.0.0.sis
• PythonScriptShell_2.0.0_high_capas.sis
And this dependency from the ordinary PythonForS60:
• pips.sis

The high capabilities script shell gives access to location and position-
ing, as well as to other capabilities.

This little (blocking) example now works:

import positioning
positioning.set_requestors([{"type":"service","format":"application","data":"test_app"}])
positioning.position()


2 Setting up the bluetooth console

(Appropriated from http://wiki.opensource.nokia.com/projects/PyS60_
Bluetooth_console)
Register a serial port (use channel 2. For some reason, channel 1 and
channel 3 might not let the connection through)

$ sdptool add --channel=2 SP

Now listen to the channel:
$ rfcomm listen rfcomm2 2

Then start the bluetooth console from the Python app on the phone,
search and connect to your linux host. You should see something like
this:
Waiting for connection on channel 2
Connection from 00:11:9F:BE:47:CA to /dev/rfcomm2
Press CTRL-C for hangup
Now open a new shell terminal and execute:
$ cu -l /dev/rfcomm2

You’re now in control of your mobile’s python console :)


3 User interface

3.1 Messages to the user
import appuifw
appuifw.note(u'Forty-two', 'info')
appuifw.note(u'Doh!', 'error')
appuifw.note(u'Okay', 'conf')


3.2 Get user input
s = appuifw.query(u'Your name:', 'text')
appuifw.note(s, 'conf')
Possible data types are 'text', 'code', 'number', 'date', 'time',
'query', 'float'
res = appuifw.query(u'Delete the internet?', 'query')
appuifw.note(unicode(str(res)), 'conf')


3.3 Lists
def testSelection() :
choices = [u'foo', u'bar', u'zot', u'bip']
index = appuifw.selection_list(choices)
appuifw.note(choices[index], 'conf')
testSelection()


3.4 Tabs
tabs = [u'post', u'web', u'term', u'misc']
def tab_cb(index):
    appuifw.note(tabs[index], 'info')
appuifw.app.set_tabs(tabs, tab_cb)


3.5 Menus
def mc_foo():
    return
menu = [
    (u'File',
    ((u'Open', mc_foo), (u'Close', mc_foo), (u'New', mc_foo))),
    (u'View',
    ((u'Full', mc_foo), (u'Normal', mc_foo), (u'Large', mc_foo))]
appuifw.app.menu = menu


3.6 Screen size
appuifw.app.screen = 'normal'
# 'normal', 'large', 'full'


4 Phone features

4.1 Dialing out
Note: this requires a valid subscriptions for phone calls . . .
import telephone
telephone.dial('91193486')
telephone.hang_up()


4.2 SMS / Inbox
# Reading messages in inbox
import inbox
ib = inbox.Inbox()
ids = ib.sms_messages()
for id in ids:
    print ib.address(id), ib.time(id)
# ib.content(id)
# Listen for new messages
def message_cb(id):
    ib = inbox.Inbox()
    print 'New message received from ' + ib.address(id)
# Note, the text is shown on the console, not the phone
ib.bind(message_cb)


4.3 Location
Location (and positioning) needs extra permissions to work properly.
import location
loc = location.gsm_location()
# Example:
# 242 = Country -> Norway
# 1 = Mobile network code -> Telenor
# 13901 = Local area code
# 7116 = CellID


4.4 Camera
import camera
img = camera.take_photo()
c = appuifw.Canvas()
appuifw.app.body = c
c.blit(img)
# Alt. use the appuifw.Content_handler
img.save(u'E:\\tmp_snapshot.jpg')
ch = appuifw.Content_handler()
ch.open(u'E:\\tmp_snapshot.jpg')


4.5 Internet
import urllib
t = appuifw.Text()
appuifw.app.body = t
f = urllib.urlopen("http://www.ia.hiof.no/~haraldh/misc/hello.txt")
res = f.read()
t.set(unicode(res))
f.close()


4.6 Bluetooth
# Reading from a serial port. First set up serial port on the linux box:
# sdptool add --channel=11 sp
# rfcomm listen rfcomm3 11
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_BT, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(("00:22:5F:1F:D4:BC", 11))
# cu -l /dev/rfcomm3
s.close()
# Sending a file using OBEX
import socket
socket.bt_obex_send_file("00:10:C6:EE:B7:45", 4, u"E:\\temp\\snapshots\\1.jpg")
5 And there is more
• Database
• Audio
• Contacts
• Calender
• sysinfo.imei()
• os.makedirs(<dirname>)
