which is a better way of making symbian applications?

I have 开发者_C百科read it on the official website that there are several ways in which we can make applications that run on the Symbian OS.

These include development in QT and J2ME. I wanted to know which between this would be a better way of developing applications for the Symbian platform and why ?

I am a fairly new developer in this field although i have developed several Android applications in the past.

QT is the native framework for Symbian. The installers have a SIS and SISX file extension, and they can use extended capabilities, within Nokia's Symbian (S60v3, v5, S40, and Symbian^3). Like better handling of the accelerometer/gyroscope and camera functions, etc.

On the other hand, if you are targeting many platforms (other than Symbian too),along with other phone OS's, you should go for J2ME.

You will be losing some advanced functionality, in exchange for better portability and compatiblity.

I dont agree with anirudh4444.

Symbian C++ is the native programming language for Symbian and not Qt. [1]

Since you have mentioned that you want to target S40 and if you want to develop web based application, you have to check this.
