[Qt-interest] cross platform way of selecting contacts

[kahola g]

I will have a look at them. I did that with QListView and creating my own
model out of contacts that I got from mobility APIs. But result were not so
good, I have to click the checkbox to check it. I was doing it for a touch
screen
device. I can do something about that by handling mouse events. I will also
try qml when I get time. I was using QWidgets because I already have some
experience there and I though such things will be available in widgets.

But I still feel such a common use case should be covered by qt libs (may be
mobility) when Nokia promotes qt as a easy way to develop for symbian. I
will do it and so will lot of other people who need such things but its
duplicate effort and slows down application development. I will try to share
whatever I solution I go for.
