Hi,

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

[raj.qtdev]

sorry about that!

I am targetting symbian 5th edition and above phones running anna, belle

[SGaist]

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

[raj.qtdev]

thanks for the suggestion...did that!

[SGaist]

You're welcome !

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

[raj.qtdev]

can you tell me how to do that plz? never done that way

[SGaist]

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

I want to open each file format using the default app of the phone
[/quote]

QDesktopServices::openUrl should do that (in any platform).
Like this:

QUrl url = QUrl::fromLocalFile(filenameQString);
QDesktopServices::openUrl(url);

[raj.qtdev]

that worked like a charm!!

thanks a ton man!

[SGaist]

Right ! I forgot about that one, mostly using it for storage location...

If everything is working now, could you update the thread's title to solved so other forum users may know a solution has been found ? :)

[raj.qtdev]

did that!
