currently qt doesn't support specifying which browser the link will be opened in. everything will go via default Nokia browser.
The command is smthng like (not sure) openLinkExternally("http://something.com")

One thing you can do is include the webview app inside the rss reader app. (as a separate page) A little complicated. But I think it would work.

@kartik G+ hasn't released a public API yet, for making apps..

@allstar, you've to create a Menu{} element with MenuItem{} in it. Then link it with a toolbar button via <MenuID>.open() in onClicked property.

For creating exit button, write Qt.quit() in the onClicked property of required button

Well this is actually a really good idea.  it would really help those who are just starting out and are looking for help from people who have been in here for a very long time already.

I am not that familiar with any other way to have this done rather than getting official support but that in itself is no guarantee that you would get the thing that you want so this would suit you well.

Hello there. I've had plans on development for Symbian for a while now, but I know nothing. Zero. Let me explain.
So, software is my passion and mostly smartphones. I was an Apple fanboy for four years until I got off technology and on life and got a Nokia 5800 for the sake of trying it. I fell in love with S60 after so many years of super mega hyper ultra closed iOS. So last summer I imagined, in my best dreams, some kind of app suite similar to Ovi, which would bring back a lot of long gone functionality to Symbian. I didn't have any plans on doing it, but now I do. So my plans are to bring back apps alike to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, their FOSS alternatives, to make Symbian (almost) fully usable again.

So I do this because I love technology and Symbian and I would like to bring basic internet functions to this great OS. But. I do this because I love tech and Symbian, I don't actually know much about it.
By this I mean that I have pretty much zero knowledge on apps, clients, APIs and their structure. This is my first ever development project.
And so I need help. I don't really know where to start and what to start my learning with, I have a lot of questions, and I need advice from someone who knows. So instead of bothering everyone in the Telegram group or someone without asking first, I thought it'd be better to start by asking here, if there is anyone that would like to help me. Thank you very much.
