Re: [Stellarium-pubdevel] Android porting

[Brady B. <br...@br...>]

I've noticed that several plugins know a little too much about the UI; the
normal way of creating a plugin button seems to be to dynamic_cast the ui
to a StelGui, grab its button bar, and add a StelButton to it. It's not
going to hurt anything else if I (leave the ability to do this and) add a
new function to the abstract base allowing a button to be added with three
QPixmap* and a QAction*, is it?
