Open an image, play a music or video file using default phone apps - Symbian anna, belle phones - SOLVED!!!
-
Hi,
In the app that I am doing right now, I will be knowing the path of the image, music file or video file.
I want to open each file format using the default app of the phone like image should be opened my gallery app, music should be played by default music player and similarly for a video file.
May I have some suggestions on this or at least pointers to which classes can help me out on these things?
Thank you so much

Hi,
You need to at least give the phone OS you are targeting, otherwise this question would be difficult to answer.

sorry about that!
I am targetting symbian 5th edition and above phones running anna, belle

Then I won't be able to help you much, I didn't use these platforms, but you should update your thread's title, this might get the attention of other forum users who work with Symbian

thanks for the suggestion...did that!

If you don't get an answer here you can also try to ask on the interest mailing list

Nothing complicated:
subscribe to "the interest mailing list":http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
send a mail with your question
make lots of "insert name of preferred beverage"
wait and see

Like this:QUrl url = QUrl::fromLocalFile(filenameQString);
