Starting as Target

The Target is the device that receives commands from a controller.

Intended Audience:

This tutorial is designed for Symbian licensees and 3rd party application developers.

The following tasks will be covered in this tutorial:

• Starting a target

• Stopping a target

The high level steps to start a target are:

• Create a target interface

• Open a connectionless session

The steps required to start a device as a remote control target are given below:

1. Create a target interface by instantiating an interface selector using CRemConInterfaceSelector::NewL(), as shown here:

   CRemConInterfaceSelector* iInterfaceSelector;
   iInterfaceSelector = CRemConInterfaceSelector::NewL();

2. Create a core remote control API target and add the interface selector created above as shown here:

   CRemConCoreApiTarget* iCoreTarget;iCoreTarget = 
      CRemConCoreApiTarget::NewL(*iInterfaceSelector,*this);

   The *iInterfaceSelector is the CRemConCoreApiTarget interface selector and *this is the owning observer. The remote control framework observers are used to send and receive commands and responses.

3. Open the above interface using CRemConInterfaceSelector::OpenTargetL().

   iInterfaceSelector->OpenTargetL();

The above code will start a device as a remote control target that is able to receive and handle remote control commands.

To stop your target use:

delete iInterfaceSelector;
