Windows Phone like framework for Symbian
« on: March 19, 2013, 01:32:17 am »
Hi,

I would like to let all Symbian developers have some stuff I've been working on for several years now.
I haven't been working continuously on this, but anyway, it might be of interest to some of you.
It's about a C++ framework (including UI) that includes some interesting things, like:
- XAML like syntax for describing views, forms, custom controls. Perl script generates code behind. Partial class declaration support through C macros.
- Custom keyboard implemented with both XAML and code behind (what you declare in XAML is available in code behind as a member variable)
- Events + Delegates (any number and type of arguments)
- Advanced layout system
- Portrait and landscape support
- Properties (with in-class or external storage)
- Data bindings (between properties, one way, two ways)
- Double buffering (by easily setting a property of the Control class)
- etc.
The sample app included doesn't do much because the framework is not completed I've stopped the work for Symbian, but it's installable on Symbian^3.

If you have any questions, comments or I can help you anyhow, please don't hesitate to contact me. But please be patient with my answers. Thank you!
And the link to the code: https://github.com/drivesmoothly/Leah/tree/Symbian

Cheers

Looks really nice :)

But I understand nearly nothing.

Thanks. Well, it's for app developers only. It really doesn't matter how the example app looks.
It's about how easy and efficient can it make developers' apps look good, keep a low memory footprint and be snappy.

But even if it's not that important for me as a framework developer, it IS really important for me as an app developer  :)

I'll take a look at this, I don't know much C++, write in QML myself.

But I may try and nick that keyboard if you don't mind ?
