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

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

some of the basic issues associated with using resource files when making

applications for the Symbian platform. </p>

<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 <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/String_Loader_APIIndexPage.html" format="application/java-archive"><parmname>StringLoader</parmname></xref>,

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>

<note>

<p>The application documentation is in the <parmname>doc</parmname> sub-folder.</p>

</note>

<p>For more information about resource files, see <xref href="GUID-0FB60233-993A-4BF2-9E8C-E03AD092359B.dita">Managing
