And not just that, you can put ANY data in there as long as there is an Akonadi resource for it :) All you have to do is store the data as SocialFeedItem with the proper mimetype and you can have your upcoming calendar events there (careful here to not flood it, the resource should be intelligent enough to show max 3-5 events as they will be on top of the list because they are in the future), or emails, or just about anything, it's generic enough :)</div>

</div>there is really not much that can be done.<br>
ie is really not possible to know how much the content will be long is the<br>
delegates are of different size.<br>
<br>
there are 2 pseudo solutions:<br>
1) enlarging the offscreen cache of the listview high rnough to have all or<br>
almost all delegates created (but memory usage skyrockets)<br>
2) have all delegates the same (eliding long text or somethig like that) and<br>
enlarge the delegate enough only when clicking on it<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I was thinking about the 2nd, won't be as cool but oh well...</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<br>
</div>one thing that one should pay attention is to make delegates as little as<br>
possible so there isn't much to create. if more informations are needed,<br>
eventually create them dynamically later on mouse click or something like that<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Right, for example facebook comments are displayed only after clicking the status, so this can use the conditional loader.</div>
