NFC plug-in for the Symbian^3 SDK 1.0 for Nokia devices

To use and test the Contactless Communication API with the Symbian^3 SDK 1.0 for Nokia devices, you need to install the NFC plug-in for the Symbian^3 SDK 1.0 for Nokia devices. The NFC plug-in works best with a clean installation of the SDK.

Note: The NFC plug-in does not work with earlier versions of the Symbian^3 SDK for Nokia devices.

Note: The Symbian Belle SDK 1.0 and newer support NFC simulation out of the box, so you do not need to install a separate NFC plug-in for them.

After installing the NFC plug-in, ensure that the Symbian^3 SDK 1.0 for Nokia devices is correctly integrated to Eclipse or NetBeans:

  • In Eclipse Indigo:

    1. Open the MIDlet project's Application Descriptor.

    2. In the Overview pane, under Runtime, click Add.

    3. Click Manage Devices.

    4. Click Manual Install.

    5. Click Browse, navigate to the folder where you installed the SDK, and click OK. Eclipse searches the selected folder for available device definitions.

    6. Select the device definitions and click Finish. Click OK. Click Finish.

    7. In the Overview pane, under Runtime, select SymbianEmulator as the active execution environment.

    8. Select File > Save.

  • In NetBeans IDE 7.0.1:

    1. In the Projects pane, right-click the project and select Properties.

    2. In the Platform section, click Manage Emulators.

    3. If you have already integrated and used the Symbian^3 SDK 1.0 for Nokia devices, it is listed in the available platforms. Select Nokia Symbian3 SDK v1.0 and click Remove.

    4. Click Add Platform.

    5. Select Java ME MIDP Platform Emulator and click Next. NetBeans searches your computer for SDKs that support Java ME.

    6. Select Nokia Symbian3 SDK v1.0.

    7. Click Next. Click Finish. Click Close.

    8. In the Platform section, select Nokia Symbian3 SDK v1.0 as the Emulator Platform, and select SymbianEmulator as the Device.
