Hello,
I'm ready now to start my application development using Edge SDK. We are very happy with the result. But we need some functionalities that we don't know if Edge can help. Could you please tell us if the SDK may help us, or if you know about any complementary SDK we might use to get a fully functionnal application for Windows Mobile and Symbian platforms ?
- We need an XML parser, including binary data (pictures) encoded in the XML file...
- We need to control the camera from the phone, to take a picture at minimum, and access the picture file (if we could capture pictures using the video camera, it would be perfect)...
- We need a QR Code decoder...
Here are the bugs we found in actual version (tested with Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0) :
- Stylus point position is not consistent when device is in landscape mode, depending on devices. Result may be different if application changes mode while running (ie: opening the keyboard of a smartphone changes mode to landscape).
- Minimize event is not received, and this is a big problem: when a phone call is received while application is running, it doesn't minimize to let the user answer the call... And when the device stops after a while non used, then you light it on again, if you need to enter a password, you may not access the input screen, and must reset the phone...
- Some pictures are not displayed correctly with transparency (tested all formats, gif, jpeg and png). Sometimes, it works with some devices, but not all.
Extra question ...
- Can I use sprintf() function with Symbian platforms ? Or do you have an equivalent function in the SDK ? (I already use all EStd class string functions)
- I couldn't install Symbian emulators so I'm not actually able to test my application with thiese platforms. How can I do this with Visual Studio 2005 ?
Thanks very much for your help.
