[Announce] Holy Quran for N900
I've just uploaded the initial version of my Quran app to extras devel.
It's very minimal at the moment. Only supports reading/browsing, adding, removing and jumping to favorites and an index page. It's been designed for N900 and the upcoming N9 so it should be possible to get it for MeeGo DE at some point too. Here's the package page as well: http://maemo.org/packages/view/n900-quran/ The code is GPL'ed and it's here: https://gitorious.org/quran/quran Ideas, tips, criticism and patches are all greatly welcomed :) EDIT: Package promoted to extras testing |

Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900

Just keep the harmattan stuff there as this is the Fremantle forum :) Quote:
Later you can invoke the favorites dialog from the application menu and jump to a particular verse directly. |
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
Any Screenshots? :)

Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
Is it possible to to provide translation in Urdu or English languages?
|
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
Thanks for your great work. any plan for adding translations?
|
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900

Excellent Application, keep up the good work Man |

The problem with Maemo5 and QML is the lack of components. I have to do everything myself from scratch and I completely suck in UI design ;) What do people generally do when they do QML for Maemo5 ? Quote:

Swiping is possible but it makes you switch all the time between the "2 pages" in order to read the original text and the translation.
I have a couple of ideas in mind: 1) Have the complete text in either Arabic or English or Urdu or ... 2) Have the Arabic text and the Translation below it. However, I'd appreciate more opinions before implementing either. |

There is a Quran app (Noor) for the N900 where you can have the translation below. (But it's not polished) I rather have to swipe between the translation and real Arabic. So if I want to know what there is written in Arabic, I can quickly look up, then swipe back to read the holy Quran further About the whole Quran in 1 place (in another language) You can also check this site out: www.selam.org You can pick a language on the top of the site to download a .chm file (a help file) which can be opened with the chm viewer on the N900 :) (Windows users: right click on the downloaded files, click on properties and click on "unblock file" (or something like that) to be able to check the file on your windows!) |
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
qt-components is already available in -devel.
If you're using Harmattan's specific components which need QtQuick 1.1, you may want to wait for the next CSSU update (Qt 4.7.4 incoming! (better testing this time)) |

Currently in noor, I have to edit the 'translation file path' in the config file & restart the app to switch between english & native language. :) |
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
The problem with swipe is it could be used later to implement switching between pages (Currently it's done using the buttons down there). Reserving it for the translations means that it cannot be used for page switching anymore.
@MohammadAG I cannot use the qt components for Fremantle for a few reasons: 1) They look different. They don't have the same look and feel as the other applications. 2) They need an updated Qt and that needs CSSU. I personally don't yet use CSSU. 3) You guys are doing a great job with CSSU but a lot of people aren't even aware of it and having to depend on it means a lot of people will not be able to install the application :( |

Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
urdu translation support ?
audio output possible ? thanks for your work buddy ..jazakAllah |
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
Quote:
As for audio, it has to wait. I cannot implement 2 features at the same time. Also audio will make the application size huge so I have to think of a way. Suggestions ? ;) Quote:
I guess the best option is to use the buttons for translations and swiping for page switch. |
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900

The advantage to this is, if the audio files follow a standard sequence of naming, maybe others can also upload different audio files with same standard naming for recital by different imams. |
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
Why there's no landscape support? reading Quran in portrait on my N900 just feels so unnatural, could you add landscape support? jazzaka llaho khayrane

Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
Please dont forget persian (farsi) language ,if you want to add translation to your app :) . thanks in advance .

you now you can work the transition thingy like this .
this font size is easily readable or you can decrease it more . |
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
@ejasmudar I really prefer the application downloading the audio files by itself if it cannot be packaged in a separate package. This makes it easy from the user POV.
@slipkornsaad There's no landscape because I thought portrait is more intuitive (I use it). Now I realize I am simply mistaken. I'll add a portrait option. @bzbnd and the rest in need of translations: I'll use the translations from here http://tanzil.net/trans/ and there is Persian. No worries :) @eefo Yes the font can be decreased but you are looking at the the first page of the first chapter and that's quite small. I guess I'll start working on the QML ui first. It might produce something more colorful and it will ease the maintainability. After that translations and recitations can be implemented. Swipe will then be reserved for changing pages. Another way has to be found for switching between translations (Perhaps a button in the toolbar). |

But if you're making the audio files as downloadable from within the app itself and it would be permanently stored somewhere in the EMMC, that would work, even after reflashes. |
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
what about adding translation at the end in form of paragraph ?
this way you just have to decrease the space between lines to give space below for translation paragraph ? p.s apology if this idea results in recompiling the program from the beginning :P |
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
@ejasmudar Never thought of the download issues whenever someone reflashes. I haven't personally flashed it ever. Anyway, I'll keep the data somewhere underneath /home/user/MyDocs/
@eefo It won't be convenient. You have to scroll until the end to read the translation then scroll upwards again and you could easily lose the context. I guess a button somewhere is the best approach. Once I figure out how the new UI would look like :| |
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
nice project keep it up. now i dont need bring the real quran. i just need this application, if it more eyes catching it will be good. anyway just one thought or suggestion may be. can u implement with " tajwid " , every tajwid for such as ikhfa an so on with color sign, i kno it look alike kids, i even know and understanding tajwid but some time i miss it.

I know myself. Unfortunately I won't be able to do something eye catching. I can do software development but my artistic skills are very bad. The best I can do is a harmattan style UI on top of fremantle :( If you need something better then please provide me with ideas/tips/mockups/... Coloring tajweed would be really problematic. I guess it might slow down the rendering and I have to find a way to do it without slowing the text loading or the initial rendering which already slow. I'm sorry but that will be a bit low on the TODO list but I'll keep it in mind. |
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
great work MSameer! I've been waiting for this.
for translation, is long press reserved for anything? could that be used? the way i see it is that you want to keep the simple gestures for the more common tasks (e.g. switching peges and scrolling) which from my understanding is what youre intending to do :) |
Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
great app :) translation and audio would make it a 10/10 :)

Re: [Announce] Holy Quran for N900
@mohannad long tap/press is reserved for the context menu. In order to add and remove from favorites. Maybe more later.
And yes, I prefer keeping the common stuff accessible. @cloud596 No need for an apology. No offense at all. Sorry for the misunderstanding. |

Here's what I managed to come up with:
The first screenshot is the normal view. The icons are: menu, fullscreen toggle, translations button, favorites button and the page number. I added the page number to the toolbar in order to save some space for the actual content. Clicking the page number should also invoke the index page. I guess there's now enough space to squeeze in another button for recitations. I tried to make the part that shows the sura name clickable in order to provide fast access to the index page but I had to enlarge it which ate part of the page. I ended up rejecting the idea. The second screenshot is for the menu. I could make the menu background black instead of the steel blue but it looked a bit ugly. How ugly are those UIs ? ;) |
