In order to deploy and run Qt applications on the Symbian device, the following software have to be installed on your Symbian device: Qt to Symbian device, QtMobility to Symbian device and TRK to Symbian device.
Installing Required Applications on Devices
The Nokia Qt SDK installation program creates shortcuts for installing the required applications on Symbian devices (you can also use any of the standard methods for installing applications on devices):
- Connect the device to the development PC with an USB cable in PC Suite Mode. If you have not previously used the device with Ovi Suite or PC Suite, all the necessary drivers are installed automatically. This takes approximately one minute.
- Choose Start > Nokia Qt SDK > Symbian > Install Qt to Symbian device and follow the instructions on the screen to install Qt 4.6.2 libraries on the device.
- Choose Start > Nokia Qt SDK > Symbian > Install QtMobility to Symbian device and follow the instructions on the screen to install Qt mobility libraries on the device.
- Choose Start > Nokia Qt SDK > Symbian > Install TRK to Symbian device and follow the instructions on the screen to install the TRK debugging application on the device.
Note: To check the Symbian platform version of your device, see Device Details.
Note: If errors occur during the installation, copy the .sis files from
Building and Running Applications
You can test your application on a device by building and running it from Qt Creator for the Symbian Device target.
- Connect the device to the development PC through a USB cable. The target selector displays a green check mark when a device is connected.
The tool tip of the target selector shows more details about the actual device that will be used when you run your application.
- Start the App TRK application on your device and deny the Bluetooth connection.
- Select Options to select USB as connection type.
- Click the Run button in Qt Creator.
