Phonebot developer's reference/Sample applications

Agent

• Uses application.open_application(name) to open external processes
• Creates a user database to save previous commands

Calculator

• Each number key contains the same script in its OnClick event by using the this keyword.

Email client

• Uses Email service to send emails with attachments.
• Uses file dialog to browse for attachments from the file system and the file object to read the file.

Notepad

• Creates a user database to save notes
• Uses the map object to sort notes
• Uses list named objects to store database records within the visual list
• Uses a user-defined method to load notes into the list

Services

• Contains several examples of each type of service
• The "Twitter feed" module uses an http service object to make a request to the Twitter search Web service. When the module's OnService event fires, the json object is used to parse the event data and fill a list with the search results.

Depending on the hardware, sensors can produce a large number of events. If the application freezes when reading sensor data, try setting the Phonebot "Sensor buffer" to a lower value.

Time tracker

Keep track of how much time you spend on different tasks. Create task types to categorize tasks. Use timer to start and stop tasks. View a list of every task or a summary of how much time was spent on each task type.

• Creates two user databases
• Uses datetime objects to manage timestamps and durations
• The application contains application scoped variables
