An idea:

I love this feature and it's so quick to load the links and mini stories, but why can't you have the full website stay loaded in your app with icon overlays or shortcuts back to main page of Stockona or main page of Quote, rather than exit and open in my default browser. I would prefer it to load directly in Stockona that way there is no extra application open.

Is that possible? (perhaps an option in Menu to use default browser or Stockona as browser).

I have studied this... the solution is to instantiate a WebKit view inside the app. It should be easy from the info I gathered, the only thing I am not sure about is how to tune the font size.

I decided, well, since it's not too difficult, I will push it to some time later and work on the local portfolio support first. Seeing that there is indeed such need, I will make WebKit integration the next feature to be added.

A little something is on it's way to you to show my appreciation.

Thanks!

Cool I get it. It's the conversion function... I didn't map ASX to AX because yahoo doesn't provide ask/bid price info so I thought there's no need to do the mapping. The function is called when request chart from Yahoo but there's no mapping so the query is "BHP.ASX" instead of "BHP.AX." I will fix that in the next release..

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client

Thanks Sony123, love the app.

as requested earlier a full screen chart is possible when in landscape mode. thanks

Re: [Announce] Stockona - Google finance stock quote client

Thought I would give an update on the development work...

I don't have much progress on local portfolio, as I finally have to dig into C++ side and the interaction between QML and C++ is more complicated. It is not bad, just that I have little experience with Qt so need some try-and-error to figure out how to get it done. I'm getting some progress but don't expect to see a mature local portfolio feature anytime soon.

Meanwhile, I have integrated webview into stockona to support in-app news viewing, as MyNokiaN900 suggested. However, I don't really like how there is little control to webview and how webview doesn't reflow the text properly. I think the integration is ok-ish now, but I will make it a configurable option in when I push the feature into extras-devel. Before that, I plan to publish a test release on Nokia Developer's website to get some feedback. Hopefully this will be done in the next few days.
