  • Page 5: Product Overview

    • Provides rapid access to GEOS documentation and help. The Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment is designed to operate as an extension of the existing GEOS SDK. This extension is provided through the use of executable files developed by Geoworks. The Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment makes use of GEOS SDK.

  • Page 6: About The Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment

    The Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment is based on the notion of a project. A project is the group of GEOS files and support information that are required to compile and execute a GEOS application. A project in the Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment includes one PRJ file, one GOC file, one GP file, one GOH file, and a number of NGX files.

  • Page 7: Parts Of The Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment

    Active-X Tool(s) (add-ins called “Components”) • Help Files Interactive development Environment The Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment is a multi-featured workspace that includes a rich editor capability, project creation, compilation, and emulation, form and procedure creation and deletion, and online help support.

  • Page 8: Editor

    The Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment Source Code Editor is used for viewing and editing project files. Line Tool Emulator The Nokia 9000 Geos emulator may be launched from the Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment. It may be used in conjunction with Swat to provide debugging support.

  • Page 9: Compiler And Linker

    Compiler and Linker The Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment provides a good integration to the GEOS compiler and linker. During the development cycle, the Build menu supports step-by-step compilation as well as a shortcut <F5> to make the makefiles, compile, and launch the emulator.

  • Page 11: Creating A Project

    Creating a new project in the SDK gives the user a default application that includes a main form with a close button. The default application is code-generated from the Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment baseline files. The five baseline (template) files that are core to the...

  • Page 12: Baseline Files

    Editing code between the code blocks may render the file or project useless in the SDK. 4.1.1 PRJ File The “prj” file is used by the Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment to maintain the state of the files, build settings, last modified times, available procedures, and available forms. When the project is loaded, the project file time stamps are compared to the last modified time.

  • Page 13: Goh File

    [PROCEDURES] 4.1.2 GOH File The Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment baseline GOH file is the Goc header file. This file provides definitions used by the .goc files (in the same relation as between standard C source and header files). Unlike standard C header files, these are included using the @include Goc keyword.

  • Page 14: Baseline Goc File

    The GOC file contains both standard C code and GEOS constructs (such as objects and messages). This file contains the methods that are generated after a procedure is added. It is an empty method that exists for the Nokia developer to provide his custom implementation. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////...

    Closing a Project Closing a Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment project is accomplished by selecting close from the file menu or clicking the X on project window. This is used to store the current state of the project and free up any resources that are being used by the project. If any of the project files (GOH, GOC, GP) are open and have been modified, the user will be given the option to save the changes made to the file(s).

  • Page 22: Project Save As

    Project Save As The Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment allows the user to copy the project file and code files to a new base name. The Project Save As feature actually makes changes to the new (copied) GOC, GOH, and GP files to reflect the new project name.

  • Page 52: Creating A Package

    Once a project has been created, implemented, and tested, the project is ready to be packaged and made exportable to the Nokia 9000i Communicator. The Nokia Package Utility is activated by selecting Package from the Nokia 9000/9110 Development Environment build directory.

  • Page 53

    The package utility attempts to use the registry to determine the last project that was used by the SDK and automatically adds the GEO file, if any, to the File to Package list. If the file does not appear, add the .GEO file with the Add button.

  • Page 54

    The user will then enter package information which includes: package description, package identifier, and the location for the new package. The package directory, with all of the contents, will then be archived using tar. The package directory is best to be a separate, empty folder. Choose the browse option for the destination directory and add/select a new folder.
