[SailfishDevel] Recording of Carsten Munk's presentation at Fosdem
The video of Carsten Munk's Fosdem presentation "Technical introduction to the deeper parts of SailfishOS" is now online at: http://youtu.be/Ed8duAnlwHc Note that the video that is currently available at the Fosdem video archive has recording issues, so better not to watch that one. I'll try to replace it with the manually edited version that I uploaded to youtube. regards, Winfried ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
Re: [SailfishDevel] When does Jolla give us an API?

The Sailfish OS is built upon many libraries, frameworks and layers. But which one is to use? Qt. Seriously. You asked for "an API". Jolla supports the Qt API precisely because it is a single, high level, app-suitable API that is well managed and open. It provides a significant degree of platform independence by abstracting a large amount of platform capability provided by those underlying layers; there is not much 'limited' about it :) Even the list of Qt libs at https://github.com/sailfish-sdk/sdk-harbour-rpmvalidator/blob/master/allowed_libraries.conf is fairly skimpy. Skimpy to the point that even all the Qt essential modules are not covered. The fact that Qt itself is a bit, well, optimistic when it says " They are available on all supported development platforms and on the tested target platforms" is a different matter. With the loss and current slow rebuilding of the mobility functionally, feature-rich/low-level development is on the hard side. Back in the Harmattan days this was the exact reason why there was the QtSDK for the high-level app-developer and a Platform SDK for all the people who didn't mind their hands getting dirty and getting an incompatibility or two as things moved on.

Haptic support for some more components may come, but if such happens to Button, we should at minimum give some warning beforehand, or then make it opt-in with a property. Then again for calculator kind of key pad, I'd myself prefer something else than a Button. E.g. phone number inputs, Jolla calculator, device lock, etc, have a button area with press highlight rectangle. ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
Re: [SailfishDevel] Haptic feedback for silica components, or lack thereof.
Thank you for your answer. Well, as for haptics on buttons, at least on symbian, most controls have a subtle click... that I think really helps to know a touch has been registered. As long as it is only a click, and not a buzz, It should be ok. But opt-in is fine with me. Better yet, if feedback can be user customized, with a mix of sounds and haptics. I suppose not all devices will have the same capabilities. I think I will make the keypad more similar to the virtual keyboard; that will avoid the "haptics" overlapping problem. Too bad the QtFeedack is not cleared for the store anyway...

[SailfishDevel] Question regarding porting SDL & OpenGL game to Sailfish
While waiting to receive my device I thought I should start porting my games from BB10 & iOS to SailfishOS I have a couple of questions using the IDE, I would like to inform that I'm developing on Windows and my games use extensively SDL with OpenGL ES. As I don't use Qt I tried to create a plain c++ project and I tried both options using either qmake or cmake but I cannot make my code see the SDL libraries (SDL, SLD_ttf, SDL_mixer, SDL_image) Are there any related samples? ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
[SailfishDevel] DOM Traversal Example (C++)
Hi, I'm trying to port an Harmattan application to Sailfish, but I'm stuck at trying to get web page content via DOM Traversal. Harmattan app uses QWebView for traversing a web pages DOM and getting the content. Pretty much like the example here: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtwebkitexamples-webkitwidgets-domtraversal-example.html Only problem is that e.g. QWebView is found in QtWebkitWidgets and AFAIK QtWidgets are not supported in SailfishOS... So, my question is: Is there another (simple) way getting Web page content via DOM Traversal (in C++) without the use of QtWidgets? Best Regards, Martin ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
