there's dev's around globe who might help you, i hope...i am just not right guy for QT :S damn
i can test though...
i hope you will get that device as soon as possible
I implemented a simple app with a textfield (subclassing QLineEdit), but even after posting QEvent::RequestSoftwareInputPanel events and faking mouse press/release events, I cannot get the virtual keyboard to automatically pop up. The user still has to tap the widget, so I cannot hide it by putting it somewhere off the screen.
WinCE and Android had proper APIs to handle the keyboard. With Maemo, it seems I have to reimplement my own keyboard.

work.
The example shows the QLineEdit and the widget has focus, but the virtual keyboard does not pop up. I still have to tap on the widget to
trigger it (tested on N900).

My next problem is that the virtual keyboard does not produce any KeyPress events (physical keyboard does produce them on the N900). The textChanged/textEdited signals of QLineEdit are not that
useful to identify which key was pressed. Seems like I have to mess
around with some X11 events.
