Joshua have bin playing some with building a QML based ui. That will
probably be the future for a touch-based ui for Subsurface.


Meanwhile, if you would like to scratch some issues on our current
subsurface-android you could take a look at all the dpi-issues.

Quite a few things in subsurface ui doesn't adjust sainly to different
dpi's. The profile toolbar icons are just like 1x1mm on my phone and
kinda hard to tap. The star-widget becomes way to big for some reason.


Another thing we might think about is how we handle dialogs. We use a
few dialog windows in subsurface, and they become kinda unusable when
rendered on android. They are usually a bit to small, you can't switch
between them and they might overflow off the screen, thus rendering
your OK/Cancel buttons out of reach.



If you would like to take it for a spin, the easiest way is probably to
use the cross-build-script that i wrote a while back, and just comment
out anything related to the facebook webview thingie to make it build
again. (QWebView isn't available on Android)
