[Qt-qml] QML and home screen widgets

[Matti Mäki]

So, is it anyhow possible to implement the symbian home screen support 
to my app today, preferably so that it works with both Symbian^1 and 
Symbian^3 home screens?

For S^1 the Home Screen Publishing API (http://bit.ly/bnVUOL) in N97 SDK 
probably does the job using the wide image option and somehow creating a 
QPixmap or QImage on fly from a QDeclarativeView. Btw, is there a 
convenient way to do that?

Actually I can't find any public API reference for the S^3 home screen 
even though the architecture is available at Symbian Foundation 
(http://bit.ly/dC5yuG). Release notes for S^3 SDK v0.9 tell the following:

New C++ APIs:
=============
• Home Screen Widget Publisher API (for publishing logo of a widget).

Deprecated APIs:
================
• Home Screen publishing for native widget is not supported.

I just can't find more info of the new API from SDK documentation.

Another question. What would be the best strategy in general to 
implement a QML application with home screen view and full screen view? 
Is it possible to use the same declarative engine/view in both or should 
I run them in separate engines?
