I wanted to get some feedback from somone(s) who may have done this process.  How easy or difficult have you found it? Are there any particularly tricky tips?

Hi MindOperations,

I've ported DjView to PlayBook. I remember nothing special about the porting. The app works in main, but it'd better to make a GUI specially for touch screen. You can find DjView BAR here:

I guess that would be a additional question to this one.  How hard did you find it adding in the touch sensitivity methods like swipe menu in, or did you?

Brandon,

I didn't added PlayBook-specific things like swipe down menu. And for that time this feature was not supported by Qt port.

By my opinion, pure Qt is not good enough choice to develop touch oriented GUI. QML is better.

Thank you.  I want to avoid QML, although it is a great language from the looks of it.  Reason being is I remember one of the Qt Dev's mentioning if you can avoid it or are willing to avoid it do so for processing speed.  As far as convience and ease at achieving what you want without much hastle I hear QML is the ticket.  Any comment to that?

I'm agree with you that QML is a great language. Same here for Cascades which based on QML. As for processing speed you can use Qt/C++ if you'll face bottle neck problem. QML extends with C++ very fine.
