Re: Opie-Reader qpk for the Qtopia distro
I've got Qtopia working off my SD card now so I can do some more testing. I added a little bit of gesture support so you can do page up/down by stroking up/down the screen, zoom in/out by stroking right/left, and then the four diagonal directions do back/forward/beginning/end but I can't remember which is which ATM - I'll sort it all out better when I have a better handle on how to make it work on the Freerunner. You can also map the power button to page down (or any of the mappable functions) which makes it much more bearable to use. There seems to be some funnies in the way it interacts with qtopia - especially on first start-up and in combo-boxes but it is reasonably usable if you just want to read books but I don't think it is feed ready, yet. But Lorn has permission to put it up there anytime he wants to. The qtopia qpk is in the same place, but the ASU version is still awaiting me having the time to work out how to compile qtopia apps for ASU. I may have some spare time this weekend to give it another go. 2008/8/21 undrwater <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Tim, > > I enjoyed opie-reader on the Zaurus...look forward to it on the Freerunner! > I've been eagerly anticipating someone building a reader! > > Thanks bunches...hope it's ASU capable soon. > > Russell > -undrwater > > > > Tim Wentford wrote: > > > > > > If it proves popular enough, and I can't get a build environment working, > > I'll go back to Qtopia again and sort it out. > > > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://n2.nabble.com/Opie-Reader-qpk-for-the-Qtopia-distro-tp729655p741197.html > Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > ___ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community > ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Opie-Reader qpk for the Qtopia distro
Tim, I enjoyed opie-reader on the Zaurus...look forward to it on the Freerunner! I've been eagerly anticipating someone building a reader! Thanks bunches...hope it's ASU capable soon.

Re: Opie-Reader qpk for the Qtopia distro
I've had at least one report that it is at least usable and working reasonably well so it is probably worth adding to the feed - it seems to be at least good enough to read a few ebooks with and I'll make it all a bit nicer when I get a chance. 2008/8/17 Tim Wentford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Of course you can add it to the feed (the Greenphone was the original test > environment, after all 8^). > But check it works first > > It is pretty much optimised for the Greenphone ATM, other than I flipped > the flag to use screen touches for navigation so it is usable. > > Does the "touch and hold" right mouse button emulation work on the > Freerunner?

Re: Opie-Reader qpk for the Qtopia distro
Of course you can add it to the feed (the Greenphone was the original test environment, after all 8^). But check it works first It is pretty much optimised for the Greenphone ATM, other than I flipped the flag to use screen touches for navigation so it is usable. Does the "touch and hold" right mouse button emulation work on the Freerunner? If not, it'll be painful "swapping mouse actions" to select navigation links, and then swapping back for page up/down etc. If it proves popular enough, and I can't get a build environment working, I'll go back to Qtopia again and sort it out. 2008/8/17 Lorn Potter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Tim Wentford wrote: > > I've used the Qtopia SDK to build an Opie-Reader package for the Qtopia > > image since it is the only SDK I can get working ATM. > > > > Now that Opie seems fairly irrelevant to the Freerunner I've renamed > > Opie-Reader to ArriereGo (thanks to Guylhem Aznar for the new name > > suggestion). > > > > I'm persisting with the 2008.08 image ATM since I am using my Greenphone > > as an actual phone, and I'm hoping to actually be able to build a QT app > > for 2008.08 one day, so I have no way of testing the current build, > > though a previous build did work.
