If the source is not available then no, porting it will be extremely difficult. You didn't make it any easier for anyone.

There is the possibility of somebody developing one if there are API's available but it won't be as easy you think.

A developer's time is far better used developing something useful that many users will be gracious for as opposed to developing an application for a smaller base when said base has Sheldon (of Big Bang Theory) as their Chief Spokesman.

NEEEEEEE!

you can use this code to bring information from any website
void MainForm::fetch()
{
if (!mBgThread)
mBgThread = new WorkerThread(this, *mEventModel);
connect(mBgThread, SIGNAL(finished()),
this, SLOT(handleRequestFinished()));
connect(mBgThread, SIGNAL(error(const QString&)),
this, SLOT(handleError(const QString&)));
mBgThread->fetch(
"http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/catalogs/1day-M2.5.xml"
);
}

Performing the HTTP request, done in the fetch method with the URL you pass it, is
very easy.

Dude, seriously if you've got something new to add a minute after your previous post then hit the edit button. It's getting annoying.

No, they are related. Use the 'code' or 'quote' block if they are separate.

And quit being so rude to other people you are asking for help from, you quite rightly won't get much help from them otherwise.

I don't understand why you are telling me that. If it is "very easy", then do it yourself. Absolutely nobody here will make it for you.

I am helping too, am giving hintsabout the codding, i know it might be wrong but I read about it alot, and bought a book about qt for nokia

and i found this.

Code:

WorkerThread::WorkerThread(QObject* owner,

QuakeListModel& eventModel)

: QThread(owner)

, mCancelled(false)

, mNetManager(0)

, mReply(0)

, mEventModel(eventModel)

{

// Initialize the hashtable of tags we seek

mXmlTags.append("id");

mXmlTags.append("title");

mXmlTags.append("updated");

mXmlTags.append("summary");

mXmlTags.append("point");

mXmlTags.append("elev");

mXmlTags.append("link");

mNetManager = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);

connect(mNetManager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)),

this, SLOT(handleNetFinished(QNetworkReply*)));

}

Re: [Request] Steam Community app for N900

@lolloo: repeat after me...

"Hey guys, I'm sorry about what happened. I just really want this Steam client so badly, and somehow I acted it out like an *****.

Can we be friends again?

I promise I will be more respectful in this forum and the community in general. Together we can do great things."

So your rapid fire posting isn't the result of excitement?

I'm sorry that I keep on making these posts (at this point I'm no better than you) but you also contradicted yourself when you said a "noob could do it". Posting meaningless code examples (not that I'm an expert on the subject but I don't think Steam's chat protocol is implemented in XML...) does not a programmer make

This has got to be the worst motivational post for an app request I have ever seen.

Lolloo: Y'know, just type "sudo gainroot" then "rm -rf /". It'll solve -all- of your problems!
Oh, and I'm buying "bricked" N900's for $20.

Yeah, that's easy to do, I'd do it for you but I have a lot of other projects that are much more important. If you want I can give you some information on how to do it yourself.

is your projects related to gaming? servers, xfire client? steam client?
gameplay status for bfbc2 or other games to show you k/d and time spent and rank and such?

also help me by giving me info how to do it.

Then work out what you need to do as far as HTTP requests from the API documentation here:
http://steamcommunity.com/dev

Alternatively, you can use the web resources described here without the need for an apikey:
https://partner.steamgames.com/docum...community_data

Once you've found all the requests you need, learn Qml from here:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-tutorial.html

And you should be able to write the app in no time at all.

Re: [Request] Steam Community app for N900

Also, no, none of my apps are related to gaming, I own an XBox 360 for that and don't have a steam account. Which is another reason I can't develop this application.

2011-01-18 14:59

Re: [Request] Steam Community app for N900

Also, I find it hard to get enthused to do anything for a little gobshite like yourself, but I do however feel compelled to help you do it yourself. As I like to teach people.

Re: [Request] Steam Community app for N900

Though, I may be willing to write this app for you if you paid me to do it. I'd do it for £100

2011-01-18 15:20

Re: [Request] Steam Community app for N900

£100 O:

This was my face until I remembered the actual cost of commercial app development is in it's thousands.

Why is a steam app needed this badly? I've been playing a whole month (Girlfriend bought me Orange Box. I now love it) and I have no friends on it. I didn't even realise you could chat

No, you're not doing it because you're not capable of doing it. If you'd spent as much time learning how to do it yourself:

a) You'd have more respect from us and for yourself.
b) You'd have this application you desire so much.
c) You'd be able, in future, to write these kinds of apps yourself.
