libpurple with PlayBook NDK

115 views Asked by At

My friend and I both have PlayBooks, and there isn't a solid Google Talk app on it.

We'd like to get started on one and I was wondering if anyone can provide any tips.

I was thinking of using libpurple as it is a C based library and the PlayBook NDK.

Is this feasible? Is there a recommended starting off point? And are there any general tips?

Thanks,

Parth

The blackberry uses QNX platform which is based on Qt.

Currently libpurple does not interact with Qt. However there is a Google Summer of Code project to create a Qt user interface for libpurple. In theory once that work is completed then porting to the Playbook would be a short to medium task.
