+the New Application Framework Affect my Applications?</title><shortdesc>A new application and UI framework is planned for Symbian^4 (S^4).
+This topic summarizes what you need to know about how the new framework will
+affect your AVKON applications and any clients that draw using <codeph>CWindowGc</codeph>.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>The new application and UI framework will provide a modern replacement
+for AVKON and <codeph>CWindowGc</codeph> drawing. However,  AVKON and <codeph>CWindowGc</codeph> drawing
+will continue to be supported, although AVKON may not exist on some devices.
+This means that AVKON applications (and clients that draw using <xref href="GUID-0AEE5955-C530-35F1-A904-69183331B294.dita"><apiname>CWindowGc</apiname></xref>)
+will eventually need to be ported to the new framework. </p>
+<p>Assuming AVKON is present on the device, AVKON applications will continue
+to work correctly on S^4 (although performance may be affected), provided
+their <b>main view is opaque and it covers the entire screen</b>. The same
+is true for any other clients that draw using <codeph>CWindowGc</codeph>.
+These constraints apply only to the application's main view and not to dialogs
+and menus that appear over the main view. </p>
+<p>Applications that of necessity have a transparent main view and/or occupy
+only a section of the screen (for example, a magnifying glass application)
+are not guaranteed to work correctly if they are run on S^4 and later. You
+may therefore want to port these applications to the new framework at the
+earliest opportunity. </p>

+find out the full area of the screen that is available for drawing. You should
+never hard code any assumptions about the screen size in your code. Here is
+an example that constructs the application's main view in the <codeph>ConstructL()</codeph> of
+the <codeph>CExampleAppUi</codeph> class, which is derived from <xref href="GUID-1185F595-0488-3E93-8D60-6B3A1A3AC32E.dita"><apiname>CEikAppUi</apiname></xref>. </p><codeblock xml:space="preserve">void CExampleAppUi::ConstructL()

+that wraps up the two-phase construction as shown below. <codeph>CExampleAppView</codeph> inherits
