Talking about Hildon widgets

I was playing with Pymaemo Hildon module in Maemo 5 SDK, and I thought it was a good idea to put some code examples to use some of the new widgets with Python since in the new tutorial there are only examples in C and some people aren’t comfortable in this language (I include myself).

The widgets with which I have been playing till now is the following ones:

HildonPannableArea
HildonStackableWindow
HildonAppMenu
HIldonTouchSelector
and
hildon_gtk_window_set_progress_indicator

In these links you have a small python example of each. Some of them are a rewrite from the C code in the tutorial and other are written for me from scratch. Don’t hope big and complex examples ;)

Finally there is a widget that I think it hasn’t had an improvement in Fremantle and it hasn’t alternative in the default set: Hildon Number Editor.

Hildon Number Editor

I can’t use it with my fingers.

I wrote a few months ago a widget in Python that was doing the same function but that could be used by the fingers (you can do it smaller too, at your election):
