Introduction

Kexi Mobile (aka Kexi Go! ;) is a project to bring the leading linux desktop database to mobile platforms, concentrating initially on Maemo/N900. MeeGo for phones and tablets goes next (on in parallel).

DONE Set up the build environment using the guide at techbase [1] piggz
DONE Install the nokia binaries, apps and qt development packaed in scratchbox piggz

DONE Build KOffice for maemo piggz
TO DO There is no libqt4-qt3support for maemo, so it will be nescessary to port the required parts of Kexi to Qt4 (preferably all!) piggz <{{{3}}}>
IN PROGRESS Design and build the application! piggz
TO DO Abstract some kexi functions out of GUI code, such as project opening piggz <{{{3}}}>

Application Ideas

  • QWidget Based...fixed size 800x480
  • To maximise screen estate, have navigation buttons down the left hand side
  • The rest of the screen is for applications pages. Pages are:
    • File open page
    • Project page listing project objects that can be opened (forms/reports)
    • An 'active' object page
