How do you close the program with the new interface?

When I went to call a person using the contacts button, when I click on a name, it doesn't have any way to dial. It just says "contact details".

Just like the previous version, Ctrl-Q quits the program.
If you just want to dismiss the window, Ctrl-Bkspc and then click the cross.
I ran out of ideas for shutting the window from full screen.

Yes. Work in Progress.
I should be done in the next 1-2 days.

Also: The "Settings" button is just a stub. Hopefully I'll be able to put some settings in there some day.

It is blank. Nothing shows up when I clicked on Settings & Contacts. Anything I am doing wrong?

For entering/leaving fullscreen I'm normally a fan of Ctrl+f (if you don't have search) and/or Ctrl+enter.

Especially since you are using Qml it would be pretty easy to setup the fullscreen toggle button in the lower right corner.

New build:
Contacts view now has contact details and a way to call / text.
Next up in the inbox view, show the text of text messages.
<nelson>ha ha! You don't have text messages</nelson>

So you clicked on contacts and didn't see *any* contact names?
Can you PM me the log from /home/user/.qgvdial/qgvdial.log?
that file has a bunch of sensitive info, so scrub before posting.

The settings button does nothing right now. It will soon have a way to set up a proxy in addition to other GV settings.

The floaty button in the bottom right corner was what I wanted to do, but I haven't yet figured out how make QML do a timer and click based Item.
Ctrl+Enter is a good idea. I'll have to make it Maemo and Symbian specific so that there isn't a full screen qgvdial on Windows and Linux.

Also: list views in QML don't have the "automatic" search feature that regular QT had. Or perhaps it does but I don't know about it.
In any case, I need to provide that because it get quite cumbersome to scroll through every contact to get to my name

I've been trying to think of a good touch-based way to quickly jump to a specific letter of the alphabet for when the keyboard is away or a potential device doesn't have a physical keyboard. The best I've come up with is a letter list on the side (with grouped letters for landscape mode) but it feels like it'd take up too much space.

Any thoughts?

I really liked the android contact list. If I manage to do the floaty overlay widget, then thats what I will attempt to copy.

Here's a general idea of how it works: user starts scrolling down by finger flicks. When the list detects this flick, it fades in a scroll tab on the right with the current first letter of the list in the right side. Thes user can finger grab that tab before it fades away and move it up or down.
As it is pulled up or down, it causes the list view to scroll (much faster than finger flick). At the same time, the first letter provides feedback to the user to figure out where to stop.

It is one of the most intuitive and useful UI elements I have seen.

New build!!

-> Bugfix: Contact list was empty the first time you log in.
-> Bugfix: Weird tabulation on phone numbers and their types.
-> Bugfix: Buttons on Inbox view shifted to the right like the rest of the UI.
-> The actual text of an SMS is now shown in the Inbox view (finally !!)
-> The contacts and Inbox are updated on app startup. This was disabled for Maemo. Unfortunately, it made users think that there were no contacts the first time they used qgvdial. Enabling this does not mean there will be an update every time you open qgvdial. It means there will be a contacts and inbox update the first time - immediately after login.
If you are willing to permit a little data transfer to log in, I think a few more KB to update just one time should be fine.

Next up: Hopefully something useful from the Settings button.

I didn't get any log from you, but I think I know what happened. The latest build will probably fix your problem.
To confirm that it will fix it: Before you upgrade to the latest version, open qgvdial and press "Ctrl+R".
This should refresh contacts and inbox and then you should be able to see your contacts.
If this doesn't work, upgrade anyway... and then post me your logs.
They're in /home/user/.qgvdial/qgvdial.log
