+<div><h3>Using S60 Platform Services and Service
+APIs</h3>
+<p>Widgets use the S60 Platform Services through <a href="GUID-65AAF569-D347-462B-B59A-9D7CA184AB9C.html#GUID-65AAF569-D347-462B-B59A-9D7CA184AB9C">JavaScript
+Service APIs</a> provided by the Web Runtime environment. Programming a
+widget to access a service through its Service API involves two steps:</p>
+<ol>
+<li id="GUID-4BD63D17-33D3-4AC5-B04C-534DF27F5BFD"><a name="GUID-4BD63D17-33D3-4AC5-B04C-534DF27F5BFD"><!----></a><p>Create a service
+object (an object for calling the Service API) using the <a href="GUID-04095E9A-50E7-4E5F-BD6F-71DA281A0080.html#GUID-04095E9A-50E7-4E5F-BD6F-71DA281A0080"><code>getServiceObject()</code></a> factory method provided by the <a href="GUID-571AF37F-1E95-462A-92D2-FEA2E62F1559.html#GUID-571AF37F-1E95-462A-92D2-FEA2E62F1559"><code>device</code></a> object.
+This method uses a service provider name and an interface name to create the
+appropriate service object:</p>
+
+<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-23173055-CA78-4B8B-ABD9-1C1DCD519C37">var so = device.getServiceObject(provider, interface);</pre>
+<p>Each Service API has a service provider name and supports one interface.
+The service provider name identifies the Service API while the interface defines
+a set of common methods for service objects.</p>
+<p>For example, the service provider name for the <a href="GUID-CABB28B8-D2B1-496B-BD7E-34FF496E60B4.html#GUID-CABB28B8-D2B1-496B-BD7E-34FF496E60B4">Calendar
+Service API</a> is <code>Service.Calendar</code> and the supported
+interface is <code>IDataSource</code>. To create a Calendar service
+object, use the following code:</p>
+<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-7B715229-D37C-4009-B6F6-D4148E41F1B8">var so = device.getServiceObject("Service.Calendar", "IDataSource");</pre>
+
+</li>
+<li id="GUID-84C7D2C3-261C-47F5-8ABF-0B2196D3CC2D"><a name="GUID-84C7D2C3-261C-47F5-8ABF-0B2196D3CC2D"><!----></a><p>Use the service
+object to call the Service API. The calls to the Service API are made through
+the supported interface, since it provides the necessary methods.</p>
+
+<p>For example, the <code>IDataSource</code> interface defines
+the <code>GetList()</code> method, which returns an object as its
+return value. To make a <code>GetList()</code> call with the Calendar
+service object created above, use the following code:</p>
+<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-5E760EBA-FBEA-491A-985E-B015C372177C">var result = so.IDataSource.GetList(criteria);</pre>
+
+</li>
+</ol>
+<p>The only exception to the above is the SystemInfo Service API of WRT
+1.0, which is a scriptable plug-in. For instructions on using this API, see
+section <a href="GUID-1A678A11-0BDD-4F64-9F40-013F6CDB81D7.html#GUID-1A678A11-0BDD-4F64-9F40-013F6CDB81D7">JavaScript SystemInfo Service API (WRT 1.0)</a>.</p>
+</div>
+<div><h3>Arguments and return values</h3>
+<p>Service API methods use <span>JavaScript</span> objects as arguments and return
+values. Argument objects can contain primitive types and other objects. Return
+value objects can contain primitive types, objects, arrays, and iterators.
+A primitive type is a string, number, or boolean. An object is a type of <span>JavaScript</span> object.
+It is a collection of properties. An array is a type of object that stores
+values that can be primitive types or objects. These values are accessed by
+indexing. An iterator is an object used to traverse through an ordered list
+of objects. The <span><code>getNext()</code></span> method
+on the iterator returns the next object in the ordered list.</p>
+
+
+</div>
+<div><h3>Creating objects in JavaScript</h3>
+<p>In JavaScript, you can create an object in three ways.</p>
+<p><strong>new() with dot notation syntax:</strong></p>
+<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-84B514EE-64A9-41C9-955B-55320F0C7D77">// example 1
+var criteria = new Object();
+criteria.Type = 'FileInfo';
+// example 2 - nested object
+var filter = new Object();
+filter.FileType = 'Sound'
+var criteria = new Object();
+criteria.Filter = filter;
+</pre>
+<p><strong>Object literal syntax:</strong></p>
+<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-91711FF3-169D-4D78-8FC8-A88D20147CB6">var criteria = { 'Type': 'FileInfo', 'Filter': { 'FileType': 'Sound' } };</pre>
+<p><strong>new() with array syntax:</strong></p>
+<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-73B06F7A-D0F1-4573-BBC4-0362BEA4556B">// example 1
+var criteria = new Object();

+// example 2 - nested object
+var filter = new Object();
+filter['FileType'] = 'Sound'
+var criteria = new Object();
+criteria ['Filter'] = filter;
