Application Building and SMS Inbox
Python for S60 gives you easy access to the framework for building user
interfaces on the S60 platform. Thanks to PyS60’s simple way of handling
this, you learn how to build a real application that includes a title bar, a
menu and some dialogs in around 15 lines of code!
We start by describing how functions are defined in Python. We build
an application in Section 4.2, which also presents an overview of the
structure of a typical S60 application. In addition, this section introduces
one of the most important concepts in PyS60, callback functions, which
let you bind arbitrary actions to various events. This concept comes in
useful when we show you how to add menus to your application.
You may already be eager to start making real applications. In
Section 4.3, we show how to handle strings. This is put to good use
right away when we explain how to access the SMS inbox in Section 4.4.
For example, we build fully functional applications which let you search
and sort your SMS messages easily. Finally, in Section 4.5, we present
an SMS game server that lets you and your friends play the game of
Hangman using text messages.
