Video: Creating Qt Apps Using the Nokia Qt SDK for Symbian & Maemo

Posted by Fakhre on Jul 20, 2010 in Nokia | View Comments

To illustrate how easy it is to get started creating mobile Qt apps using the Nokia Qt SDK, chief engineer Ville Vainio &  Lucian Tomuta shares their expertises in these video guides.

Symbian:

Lucian provides an insight into creating apps that run on Symbian devices. He demonstrates how the Nokia Qt SDK is installed and a first project created from the Qt calculator example. After running the app in the Qt Simulator, Lucian adapts the app to a mobile device by adjusting the layout and screen use. The optimised app is then run on a Nokia N8.

Maemo:

Ville shows how to convert a desktop application, in this case a Reddit reader, to run on the Maemo platform based Nokia N900. After providing a brief introduction to the desktop version, Ville demonstrates how the app can be tailored to the Nokia N900 by adjusting the behaviour of windows, adding a back button and busy indicator, and setting the app to switch orientation as the device is rotated.
