Re: Nokia rolls out Qt SDK for unified mobile developer experience
 

I think emulator in QT SDK is not "full emulator" so you can't click and interact with Maemo OS or applications. It will just show your app.

Try those demos, they have buttons and whatnot, and are clickable.

F-Secure also reported something weird on QT SDK installation:

p.s. I manage to crash my computer (cold boot from hardware) with Animated Tiles demo app. Fan goes for superfast and soon later cpu tops and hardware crashes.This happens a bit after I click something there and zoom Maemo emu up a bit. Anyone else having trouble?

Holy s**t!

The hd requirements is 4gb !??

OK so basically I do not need to install scratchbox anymore?
Is it still possible to port applications to maemo (PR1.2) and MeeGo (e.g. build abiword and deploy to n900)??

I know abiword is gtk-based but if the underlying platform has gtk installed cross-compiling software is still possible with this SDK?

Re: Nokia rolls out Qt SDK for unified mobile developer experience
 

There has been already some talk about this, and apparently the answer is yes, but not with the current beta (or additional tweaking). I will try and see whether I can hack the madde/simulator part to cooperate with python (QtCreator people were not too enthusiastic about Python a while back, but that might have changed in the meantime). If QtCreator is not an option, we could still use the MADDE link for running stuff on-device and use the simulator + Maemo libs through plugins (=Eric, Eclipse, etc).

You don't need to do a full install. If you don't want to develop for Symbian or don't need the Qt Sources, you can deselect those and save a lot of diskspace.

Re: Nokia rolls out Qt SDK for unified mobile developer experience
 

You are right, the OS is not simulated.

Re: Nokia rolls out Qt SDK for unified mobile developer experience
 

That's a shame, as I guess it would mean we couldn't simulate status bar or Settings (control panel) applets.

Re: Nokia rolls out Qt SDK for unified mobile developer experience
 

That's right. The Simulator is for testing Qt applications only. The reasoning is that only those are portable across devices (to the N8 for example).

Re: Nokia rolls out Qt SDK for unified mobile developer experience
 

No, it's actually an application using QtMainWindow, so it should be visible (and it was, only no other widgets added to it yet).
But what I sort of had expected was that the simulator would be more responsive in that way that the window would be possible to minimize the app and see the system menu etc. Like the scratchbox.
Nah scratch that. I understand now, it doesn't simulate the OS.

But, another thing then, I don't get the hildon Qt style when running the app. in the simulator. How is that done?

Re: Nokia rolls out Qt SDK for unified mobile developer experience
 

nath, from your posts you sound like you worked on this SDK - is that right?

Re: Nokia rolls out Qt SDK for unified mobile developer experience
 

FINALLY!!!!!!

I'm so excited. I cannot wait to start developing with this. We'll also start seeing apps from major companies like Goggle, etc.. With the install base that Symbian has there is no way they'll pass it up.

I'm so proud of Nokia, lol.
