Preface
Since i bought my ROKR E6 3-4 months ago, i need to develop the native app for the phone.
But look bad, the MOTOROLA have not been released anything about native SDK for EZX platform.
Yes, Java is be good but does everybody wants this ?
After hard searching on the net, i found the weakness SDK by yan0 and samr,
but seem it not ready to develop native app on the E6/A1200.
Well, i try to put and cutoff method on any class of that weak SDK.. but still can not work.
It can not derive or inherit class for extend the capability of the class which is the main important thing of the C++ programming.

After hard trying i have found the technic which brought me to handling the widget events, paint it etc.
So i made the new class with this technic, this technic may call "WRAPPER".

The Wrapper technic
The main function of this technic is void QObject::installEventFilter ( const QObject * obj )

Let see the following code of the QEObject class

With the above try i had try to implement another class especialy the QWidget but it seem can not work.
Ok, i found the ZMainWidget can work with my technic, so i used it to my main widget for implement anothers.

Because the ZMainWidget object have the title bar, then i hide it in the constructor of the class.

Well, lets go to the next section.

TOOLS

• Linux box, i used OpenSUSE 10.2 (Yeah my default desktop in my life ).
• CrossTool chain for make the arm binary from MkEzx.org
• Header of qt-embedded (if needed, see the attachments).
• Header of Samr7's dev-ezx (with my little modified, see the attachments).
• Header of my QE Library (see the attachments).
• Other tools, eg. progen, tmake (if needed see the attachments).

Uncompress samr7's header and qte-header to anywhere you want. (but may need to modified the enviroment to point to it).
Here is my enviroment scripts:

#!/bin/bash

export ARM_DEV_DIR=/opt/cross/arm
export CROSSTOOLS_DIR=/opt/cross/tools
export PATH=/opt/cross/tools/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/kde3/sbin:/opt/gnome/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/usr/lib/qt3/bin
export QTDIR=/home/EZX/dev-ezx
export TMAKEPATH=/opt/cross/tools/tmakespec/qws/linux-ezx-g++

Also you may used my tmakespec for your project (see the attachment).

For my QE Library you may links it to your project as neccessary, because i have never build it and pack to .so library coz it not stable yet.

In the next section, i'll show you how to use it.

About LICENSE

All of my codes (QE Library) are released under the term of the GNU General Public License Version 2.0
Please send the code back if you modified it.

Come on E6/A1200 developers, Lets join this project for made it better,
It's time to ROCK N ROLL

[donga]

The Application Template
Well, this section will show you how to create the native ezx app woth QE Library.

First, i created the directory for contains the project sources,

donga@linux> mkdir QEAppTemplate
donga@linux> cd QEAppTemplate
donga@linux> mkdir -p src/lib

After that i'd link (or you may copy) neccessary class from the QE library to the src/lib directory:

lib/qeconfig.cpp
lib/qeobject.cpp
lib/qeglobal.h
lib/qeconfig.h
lib/qeapplication.h
lib/qewidget.h
lib/qeapplication.cpp
lib/qeglobal.cpp
lib/qeobject.h
lib/qepixmap_inc.h
lib/qemainwidget.cpp
lib/qewidget.cpp
lib/qemainwidget.h

well, after that lets open the editor for coding now.
Lets create the header class and the c++ body for main program, qeapptemplate.h and qeapptemplate.cpp

qeapptemplate.h

#ifndef __QEAPPTEMPLATE_H__
#define __QEAPPTEMPLATE_H__

#include "lib/qemainwidget.h"

/**
 *****************************************************************************
 QEAppTemplate class definition
 *****************************************************************************

class QEAppTemplate : public QEMainWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    QEAppTemplate(const char *name = 0);
    ~QEAppTemplate();

    /** GUI creation */
    virtual void setupGUI();
    virtual void setupContent();

protected:
    /** Event handling */
    virtual bool mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *) { qApp->quit(); return TRUE; };
};

#endif //__QEAPPTEMPLATE_H__

qeapptemplate.cpp

#include "qeapptemplate.h"

/**
 *****************************************************************************
 QEAppTemplate class implementation
 *****************************************************************************
 */

QEAppTemplate::QEAppTemplate(const char *name)
  : QEMainWidget(0, name)
{
}

QEAppTemplate::~QEAppTemplate()
{
    //delete cst;
    printf("(%s)->QEAppTemplate<-::destroy()\n", name());
}


/** GUI creation */
void QEAppTemplate::setupGUI()
{
    /* Show normal mode */
    showNormalMode(TRUE, TRUE);

    /* Setup CST Bar */
    getCSTBarWidget(TRUE);
    ZPushButton *btn = CSTwidget()->getRightBtn();
    connect(btn, SIGNAL(clicked()), qApp, SLOT(slotQuickQuit()));

    /* Set Title text */
    ((QLabel*)getTitleBarWidget())->setText("QE App Template");

    /* Get Content widget */
    (QScrollView*)getContentWidget(TRUE);
}

void QEAppTemplate::setupContent()
{
}

Then, create the main.cpp

main.cpp

#include "lib/qeapplication.h"
#include "qeapptemplate.h"

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    initApplication(argc, argv);
    QEApplication app(argc, argv);
    QEAppTemplate *mwg = new QEAppTemplate("QEAppTemplate");
    app.showMainWidget(mwg);
    int result = app.exec();
    finishApplication();
    return result;
}

After complete all of the aboves, lets generate the project .pro and Makefile woth the progen and tmake

donga@linux> cd ..
donga@linux> pwd
/home/EZX/DISTS/QEAppTemplate
donga@linux> . ENV.sh
donga@linux> progen -o qeapptemplate.pro && tmake qeapptemplate.pro -o Makefile

then make and strip the program

donga@linux> make && arm-linux-strip qeapptemplate

That's it. Now you already have the arm-binary qeapptemplate in the current directory.
Lets transfer it to your phone on the SD card,
telnet to the phone,
change directory to the directory ehich you transfer,
call profile script to set environment,
and call the program and watch the result on your phone.

linux:~ # telnet 192.168.1.2
Trying 192.168.1.2...

No directory /root!
Logging in with home = "/".
# cd /mmc/mmca1/qeapptemplate

And the result on the phone is:


That's it.......

Donga! I LOVE YOU!

You're My Hero Man.


I lost my phone, but I think i'll devleop some apps for you to test... in case i get it back :P

[imahottguy]

Seriously... sick... Bloody sick!! I think that I may move my focus from writing apps to learing cpp so I can port them to cpp. More power for sure.

[lintianya]

very good!
Thanks !

[slicknik76]

Very interesting progress! makes me want to brush up on my C++! Haven't done any serious programming in that language for years

Superb donga.

and how about header file for another ezx library? I think not all of samr7 's header file can work in A1200/e6.

[donga]

@eakrin
Ake, the attachments are all of the headers i used to develop such qezxplayer, qeilock.
Or does it have more than that i have ?
I don't know, there are all of headers which i found on the net.

[blackhawk]

I will try to port EditorE to A1200/E6 if possible. Thanks donga. How about share your qeiLock code?
