[bt-devel] Bible Application for Mobile Devices

[Костя Маслюк]

Hi, again.

I have looked BibleTime Mobile, and would like to ask, are you developing
for tablet? Simply default window is very big and have little controls. I'm
primarily targeting on smartphones, my own device is 480x800 with 3.7 inch
screen. And of course in final i would like the application to run on all
screen sizes.


I been playing with QML and found it very handy. Now i want second frontend
based on QML for Mini. There is prototype of what i would like to see -
https://gitorious.org/bibletime/mini/blobs/raw/master/platforms/qml/btmini/metro.qml
So i think we would unite efforts in producing QML based front end. If you
strongly wish that it will be BibleTime Mobile, i have no objections (but
better to decide this collaborative, by all bt-devel list). And i will
remove Mini from Stores when Mobile reach maturity.


I have something to say about InstallManager. In Mini there is
workable/rough implementation of what i thought is more convenient (It is
available in GooglePlay now).
As a user, first of all i want to see in install manager is what content is
available for me, for my language, and 95% of content in available
repositories is useless for me. So i have combined all sources and groped
them by language, on first launch i scroll view to first child entry of
user's language.

Next thing i want to add is, slight different installation logic:
        pressing on a module displays dialog 'Do You want to Install %1?'
        any existing panel becomes a progress bar with cancel button
        installation starts in parallel thread, user able to proceed
selecting modules


Blessings
