Cascades UI for BlackBerry 10

[leppa]

I can see Fahrplan featured in the "Best Apps of 2013" list in BlackBerry World (at least, for Germany). This finally motivated me to make a Cascades based UI, which would also solve an issue with entering accented and umlaut characters on QWERTY BlackBerry 10 devices.

A list of major UI parts of Fahrplan:

• Main Page (including time, date, and train restrictions selectors)
• Station Search (including nearby / GPS search)
• Timetable
• Journey Overview
• Journey Details (including add to calendar)
• Settings
• About Page

Probably, won't happen very soon, but I'm adding this task to keep a track of it.

Thank you. Community would bring you a lot of help. How is it going on ?

Hi @StEvUgnIn,

Unfortunately, no progress here at all. The older my child gets, the more free time she takes away. If someone else is willing to takeover, I'll happily review his pull request.

@leppa i just tried again, using the bb10 sdk, but i cant get fahrplan to work in the simulator.
It adds the app and tries to launch it, which seams to fail.

Info: Sending request: LAUNCH

the loading background is very visible for half a second.

Ok, your cascades branch compiles. (with merged master :D) Will push the branch shortly to my repo

[leppa]

So were you able to run it, or just to compile?

It could be that some QML error happens. The problem with the latest Qt Creator and BlackBerry 10 SDK is that you don't get any debug output from the app itself. There is a hacky way by installing own message handler and printf'ing debug messages to stdout: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13112383/the-best-way-to-get-blackberry-10-logs

Or you can use slog2info tool (http://qt-project.org/wiki/BlackBerry_Hints_n_Tips). But I never tried this way.
