Re: Bible App for Maemo 5 Device(s)
 

hey i just wanted to say thanks. i really like the rapier app. it'd be great if the menus were more finger friendly, i love the suggestion earlier of the chapter/verse scrolls to be similar to the calendar.

the app is working great- but there is one image next to the left/right arrows that doesnt show properly. the button activates the search box on the left, but the image on the button is just white with a cross like there is an error.

thanks again - great app.

All i can say is the package can be build, but i never was involved with packaging qt application, so i do not know how things should be done 'the proper way' (i'm still learning qt, and can not even tell how to use qmake with some third party lib on top of that).

Now, when i run katana, it segfault, and if i try to gdb the core, gdb segfault too, so i m a bit stuck :)

Re: Bible App for Maemo 5 Device(s)
 

Do you have other sword modules installed? If not, then that is the problem. You'll need to install them through rapier.

If you do have, it's probably because dependencies aren't set up correctly? What qt4-maemo5* packages are installed?

I have ESV installed in /home/user/sword

I launched katana with :

SWORD_PATH=/home/user/sword run-standalone.sh /opt/katana/katana

Re: Bible App for Maemo 5 Device(s)
 

Very cool
- typing on keyboard should probably default to search (personally speaking, search and verse selection should be the same, probably with some type of word completion for those book/chapt/verse names since those are readily available from the books installed)

Rapier won't be updated beyond getting it working on Maemo 5 devices. Katana is the effort underway to make a Bible reader that better fits the general user interface guidelines of Maemo 5 and beyond. Stay tuned to this thread for updates on both apps.

Re: Bible App for Maemo 5 Device(s)
 

i can't get this to run..it shows emptiness when i select any chapter.

Re: Bible App for Maemo 5 Device(s)
 

The segfault i experienced only occur when using /home/user/sword as SWORD_PATH , i have no clue why, but things worked better if i use another directory to store my modules.

I have several question about katana:

1) How on earth do you use gdb on this thing ?

I compiled it with -g (after adding it in the Makefile manually), but i always end up with gdb segfaulting when it is supposed to stop at a break point.

2) There is a problem when using french module encoded in utf-8 such as FreSegond

The following patch makes the display works correctly using QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(QTextCodec::codecF orName("UTF-8")) ; in InfiniteScrollViewer::insertParagraph

http://81.56.33.6/melmoth/katana-utf8.diff

However, i guess a cleaner way would be to first check the module is actually encoded in utf8 before doing so.

3) would it be possible to use some tool such as designer to generate the layout with a nice gui thingy ? :-)

4) what about a mailing list hosted on garage ?

Re: Bible App for Maemo 5 Device(s)
 

The problem was that Katana was requiring the KJV version to be installed. I'm guessing the path you specified didn't include it. I've fixed this.

I have no idea; I don't use GDB. See the comment about GDB in this post, though: http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2009...ext-iteration/

Thanks for the bug report. I'll try to look into this soon.

It's probably possible, although it might not work well at this point, because of the immaturity of Qt 4.6. But, why? Would that gain something that we don't have already? I'm actually quite happy creating the UI's in code...

Yes, please! I really don't like forums, but I'm not an administrator on the garage project, so I can't do a lot.

Re: Bible App for Maemo 5 Device(s)
 

I really wish Google Wave were less a property of Google. Mailing lists are a bear to keep track of (and the same can be said of forum threads). But at least Wave solves the organization bit.

If there's a list, I'll keep an eye there and do my best to post back here the relevant pieces. If devs want to use that for the primary communication channel, that should be fine.

I posted earlier a new topic just because of this fact. I'd personally like to use something that was closer to the code to create UIs, but devs are happy with PPT/Visio wireframes with blocks and text - and there's a solid graphic designer or two that can put skin on it - then we might be fine in keeping it simple there.

Re: Bible App for Maemo 5 Device(s)
 

Three things:

1. I now have a n900! It is a sweet machine!


2. I've changed you to an admin.
3. and also added a mailing list to the katana site (2-24 hrs for it to be created)

Nathan.
