Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

Now the developer story is easy to explain: Qt is the Queen, Qt Quick is the King and Qt Mobility is the Wizard. That's it.

All the rest is now tagged as legacy, which means that the teams working...

Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

It won't be that simple.

1) Look and feel. Dui apps will have a different look and feel from Symbian ^4 apps, at least, this is one of the arguments used against my proposal. However, App Stores...

Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

I don't have a technical argument - I completely agree that a better way to do things would be as a Qt backend and not a frontend on top of Qt. I also believe that the Maemo/Symbian people have done...

Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

There is a big difference between having to create a couple of widgets and having to rename each and every Qt class in your app.

The Dui proposal requires you to change all the top-level UI code....

Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

Almost all of Qt apps in the world extend the basic framework to include their own widget sets and APIs. Even on desktop, some of the more serious commercial application use Qt as the core...

Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

I think you are overlooking the Web Runtime here, which is just as first class citizen.

How many Javascript-friendly developers you find for each developer ready to go through Qt+DUI/Orbit? How...

Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

Did you do actual programming with #ifdefs for multi-platform UI in single source? Don't you think it would have been much more fun and much more productive without #ifdefs?


So of course if...

Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

They are, by and large, evil. That's why Stroustrup discourages the use of macros in particular and the preprocessor in general. That's why practically all newer languages got rid of the preprocessor...

I just want to point out, that unless you're running a professionally managed software project with developers and testers and test devices for all branches of that #ifdef tree (hopefully just two,...

Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

You are confusing me. When you say DuiApplication do you actually mean all widgets and classes which directui provides? So you want to create QPushButton, QLabel and have interface like iPhone or...

Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

My problem with that was that more complex Qt projects tended to have 'smart' dialogs and forms, many of the actual signals, actions, etc defined in the forms. Which is cool and makes it easier to...

Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

I wouldn't put my money on itemview-ng. It's a great research project but not much more. Not to mention that it will take years until it become part of QT. I would suggest to all angry people...

Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

And this was the mistake that was made back in 2005 with Hildon. I'm sure it was the "right" decision given the constraints and expectations at the time, but duplicating an API...

Re: Maemo 6 loosing source compatibility with plain Qt, and Symbian^4

I think most people see that there is the need for a different UI on different devices. But the differentiation should be on the visual level. Not on the API level.
Of course there also might be the...

Hi Mark, nice post with good technical insight.
