[SailfishDevel] How to get GPS Location in QML (after installing QtPositioning packages to targets and emulator)
Success, at last. Installing qtpositioning packages to both targets (using SDK Control Center), to the SDK (using zypper) and to the emulator (using zypper) finally did the job. It finally works and application can be deployed to the emulator by copying binaries and without any modifications. The only question remaining is: if I deploy to an .rpm package rather than directly to the emulator, how can I then install the rpm file to the emulator? Once again, many thanks Chris for your help.

Re: [SailfishDevel] How to get GPS Location in QML
Hello, Le mardi 29 octobre 2013, tw_bolek a écrit : the .pro file does not change anything.There is no trace of QtPositioning in sailfishos/mersdk/targets/.../usr/lib/qt5, neither for arm nor for x86 (emulator). I think that Christopher Lamb answered this. I'm using Qt Positioning in Sailfish from C++ myself and it's working. Except that there is no GPS in the emulator, so there is no source for QGeoPositionInfo data. To test, I'm creating data by hand and see if my application reacts correctly. Is it the right way to do ? Otherwise, there are nice explanations at : http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-nosubdir/qtpositioning-index.html Regards, Damien. ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list

Hi Bolek *I am not from Jolla, so that's just musings of yet another third party dev. * * * IMHO there are several different sub-issues: 1. RPM dependency installation system in general I think it's just wonderful that you app can declare what it needs and it just gets it 2. Positioning module not included to Sailfish by default Yeah, modules expected to be used often could included from the very beginning indeed. Maybe they will be added 3. YAML/Spec toolchain support and how on earth you figure which module you need and what you need specify in .yaml/.spec This particular area IMHO needs quite a lot of improvement. At least a guide telling which modules are to be found in which packages for build machine and for device run time would be very helpful 3.1 My favorite sub-problem is that current YAML/SPEC support is just not ready for subdirs projects As long as I use subdirs, I have to delete YAML completely (otherwise creator keeps messing up with it) and even with just .spec some dances are to be performed in order to run some of the subprojects 3.2 Testing whether all the dependencies are declared properly IMHO at the moment the only way to test whether final users will actually be able to install all the dependencies is to.. reinstall SDK from scratch. Otherwise you never know if RPM really requests everything needed or you are just lucky to have some packages already present in your particular system. Just my 2 cents of feedback [hopefully structured enough for helping those thinking of SDK improvements]. Best regards, Artem.

[SailfishDevel] Updated emulator in SailfishOS SDK available
Hello again, Like it was disclosed earlier, the SailfishOS Emulator had a bug that it would not refresh its package repositories. If you were required to install new packages to it, it would eventually fail on RPM deployment. Now there is a fixed version available. We have uploaded an updated emulator to the SDK repository. The new emulator bears the label '2013.10.28-0' and the old one was '2013.10.18-0'. As always you should shut down all VMs before starting the update. This means that your Qt Creator should pick up the update and you should see 'Updates' icon in Qt Creator's ui, here's how to proceed with update: 1. click update icon (or run updater from toolbar), sdk maintenance tool will open 2. sdk maintenance tool should be set up already for the update action, click next. 3. you should see that the current emulator version is 2013.10.18-0 and it's going to be updated, click next 4. click update to proceed. sdk maintenance tool downloads the new emulator and installs it. 5. once it's completed, click finish. You now have the new emulator installed. Here's the release note for this update: SailfishOS Emulator: * when emulator boots, it refreshes its package repositories with pkcon refresh and thus is then capable to retrieve package dependencies from sailfishos.org. Any other component: * no changes. If you encounter any issues, please report them to Sailfish developers mailing list at devel@lists.sailfishos.org Happy hacking!

Re: [SailfishDevel] How to get GPS Location in QML
Hi Bolek I also have nothing direct to do with Jolla, I am just a developer like you, but it is still a pleasure to help and to puzzle out how things work. I agree with much of what you say; but I think we should not forget that the Alpha is just that, an Alpha. That means that not everything is perfectly documented, and somethings that probably will be bundled in the final release will be currently missing or in a work-in-progress state. I suspect that when real Sailfish hardware becomes available, with a real GPS built in, then all the required Qt Positioning and Location stuff will be pre-bundled. It could be argued that on an Emulator there is not much use for it ... The situation is also not helped by the fact that QtMobility is in a state of flux between 4.8 and 5.x, with some sub-modules / components popping up elsewhere, and with others completely missing in action (e.g. Messaging). I guess that the root cause for this is the withdrawal of Nokia from the Qt camp. Chris Zitat von tw_bolek tw_bo...@op.pl: Chris, First of all, thank you very much for your help.

[SailfishDevel] How to check Emulator version
Hi Jarko Is there a way of checking the Emulator version? (e.g. by terminal command on the emulator?). Today's update bugged out on OSX, but after that the Emulator still starts, so either a) the update did nothing, and I have the old state b) the update more or less succeeded, I have the new version despite the errors during update.

Re: [SailfishDevel] How to check Emulator version
Hello, At least with Qt Creator's updater you can check the versions of each component. If you can pull additional packages from sailfishos.org to your emulator, it has been updated - simple as that. thanks, Jarko From: christopher.l...@thurweb.ch [christopher.l...@thurweb.ch] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 9:50 PM To: Jarko Vihriala; devel@lists.sailfishos.org Subject: How to check Emulator version Hi Jarko Is there a way of checking the Emulator version?
