    14 <p>The application framework contains a set of libraries and components

    15 provided by the Symbian platform to make common functions available to applications.

    16 Examples of the available functionality include: </p>

    17 <ul>

    25 </li>

    26 </ul>

    27 <p>All GUI-based applications use the application framework architecture,

    28 which means you need to derive the application classes from base classes provided

    29 by AVKON. For more information on the classes involved in the application

    30 framework, see <xref href="GUID-BDDDF68F-F7C3-43AF-8B6C-C77C701FD2A9.dita">Framework

    31 requirements for GUI applications</xref>.
