management example: HelloWorldBasic</title><prolog><metadata><keywords></keywords></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>This section uses the <i>HelloWorldBasic</i> example provided with the

Symbian SDK to illustrate some of the basic issues associated

with using resource files when making applications for the Symbian OS. In

particular, this section explains the contents of the resource and registration

resource files used in the <i>HelloWorldBasic</i> application in terms of:</p>

<ul>

<li><p><xref href="GUID-6AD1DA34-EA3D-4EC9-A667-390507B4D6CB.dita">helloworldbasic.rss</xref></p>

</li>

<li><p><xref href="GUID-C99BA704-4E9F-482C-942F-1B4D7F385BD8.dita">HelloWorldBasic_reg.rss</xref></p>

</li>

</ul>

<p>The <i>HelloWorldBasic</i> application, in addition to printing "Hello

World!" on the screen, also demonstrates displaying text with Information

Note and loading strings with the help of StringLoader,

writing to and reading from a file and use of a dialog to inquire for user

input. Furthermore, the <i>HelloWorldBasic</i> application has been localized

to four different languages.</p>

<p>For more information about the available example applications, see the

Symbian SDK example folder at:</p>

<ul>

<li><p><parmname>&lt;S60_SDK_installation_directory&gt;\S60CppExamples\</parmname></p>

</li>

</ul>

<note>

<p>The application documentation is in the <parmname>doc</parmname> subfolder.</p>

<section id="GUID-CE8A3826-F7DE-4E3C-96A3-53ABA03776CF"><title>Pre-requisites</title>

<p>The example can be found in the Symbian SDK and can be compiled and

run with the accompanying command line tools.</p>

<p>It is also recommended that you have a target device to which you can

deploy the application. </p>

running <i>HelloWorldBasic</i>, see <xref href="GUID-8DB6E28B-C49D-41D5-A563-A7D7CE3DF652.dita"></xref>.</p>
