[Qgis-user] Forestry Week? (was Case sensitive)

[Bob Basques]

All, 

Marco, is still working on fitting things to the smaller screen.  It looks really nice on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet for example.  I think you'll see more and more items starto work as he moves forward with scaling the interface down to fit the smaller screens.

I just installed it on my Nexus Prime. It has a 4.6" screen, and it seems to me, the screen is too small to run the program.
Some screens don't show the OK button and you have to kill the program to get out of it. The program may need Tablets with larger screens.

Hi Tyler,

Marco Bernasocchi is working on QGIS for Android - and is always looking for sponsors ;-)

It works like QGIS on Desktop - but Python is not yet available. You, can however use custom forms, Spatialite and the Offline editing plugin, which can synchronize between a central Postgis data warehouse and spatialite for mobile workers. Postgis is also supported, but you would need a permanent network connection.

It probably would need some real world testing, but it looks promising.
You need at least a phone with a display size like the Samsung Galaxy Notes or a real tablet, like the Panasonic Toughpad.

If you have specific questions, please contact Marco Bernasocchi directly or use http://hub.qgis.org/projects/android-qgis

Hope this helps,
Andreas

BTW: in Switzerland there is a whole group of Forestry engineers that collaborate on the training of QGIS for forestry engineers and the development of tools.
