Symbian OS calendar Application

Design brief for Symbian Calendar application History and details ------- --- ------- The aim is import calendar events to mobile phone calendar/PIM applications using OTA provisioning The project is for a college running educational courses, each course has between 8 and 30 calendar entries that need to be imported into the handset. A lot of mobile phones support calendar information transfer using vCal files, such as the SonyEricsson models For these devices, I simple send a vCal file formatted with multiple BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20060822T194500Z DTEND:20060822T213000Z CATEGORIES:MISCELLANEOUS SUMMARY:Lecture title LOCATION:lecture theatre 1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT ... ... END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR However many of the Nokia models do not support multiple VEVENT entries in the vCal files, and sending 20 or more sms messages is not practical for the end user. Therefore I am looking into delivering the calendar entries using a symbian sis application. I looked into using a J2ME midlet and PIM to write the entries, but it seems impossible to install and run the application as a 1 stage process. The user has to install the midlet and then navigate to the installed app and run it, something that I want to avoid. Brief ----- The brief is to build a symbian application suitable for a series 60 phone that connects back to a webserver and downloads calendar entries and installs them to the phone PIM/calendar. The calendar entries are currently stored in vcal format, but I can also provide the entries in a csv for like so summary,description,location,datestart,dateend,alarm summary2,description2,location2,datestart2,dateend2,alarm2 summary3,description3,location3,datestart3,dateend3,alarm3 The application should be configured to run upon installation using FILERUN, RUNINSTALL keywords in the pkg file for the app ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
