Re: [SailfishDevel] Image scaling in Label with StyledText format

[Martin Grimme]

Hi,

you can add an inline style sheet that uses the current theme colors for rich 
text. I'm doing the same in my Tidings app for the Silica-styled view of the 
article pages. Then stuff like links look fine.


Cheers,
Martin

Re: [SailfishDevel] How to require an exact sailfish version in rpm?

[Martin Grimme]

Hi,

depending on the used libraries, Harbour tries to detect the required
OS version automatically. But you can also select it manually if
Harbour's guess doesn't look good to you.

[SailfishDevel] VirtualBox issue in the SDK on OS-X and how to solve

[Martin Grimme]

Hi,

after having updated to VirtualBox 4.3.30 on OS-X, I found that I was
no longer able to start the SDK VMs in Qt Creator, and Qt Creator told
me

"No virtual machine with the name 'MerSDK' found. Check your installation."

This happens when you launch Qt Creator from the dock, and not from terminal.
In this case, /usr/local/bin is not in the PATH, and the VBoxManage
binary cannot be found.
To fix it, create a symlink as root in /usr/bin that points to
/usr/local/bin/VBoxManage.

# cd /usr/bin
# sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage

Apparently the VirtualBox tools have moved to /usr/local/bin recently.


Hope this helps some people who are experiencing the same problem,
Martin

On the other hand, the N900 and N9 could have become pretty unresponsive while 
swapping, up to the point that you were not able to answer the ringing phone in 
time.
So the way Maemo and Harmattan did it with a crazy amount of swapping was 
certainly not better.

Hi,

> afaik it only closing propcesses with windows, no?

No, it is the Linux OOM handler, which does not care or know about
what a Wayland window is.
If your daemon is invoked as a systemd service, you can adjust the
OOMScore in the system .service file of the daemon, like this:

  [Service]
  ExecStart=/usr/sbin/mydaemon
  OOMScoreAdjust=-250

The lower the value the less likely the process will be selected by
the OOM killer.
However, if you want to remain harbour-compatible, you cannot run the
daemon as a systemd service. In that case maybe you can write the
score directly at runtime to

  /proc//oom_score_adj

but I did not test that solution.

Well, that's a considerably low price you have to pay for multitasking. The 
other platforms don't support multitasking for apps, only for services, and 
thus developers don't need to care because  the app is acting dead / frozen / 
killed while not visible.

SailfishOS is different in this regard as it employs desktop-class multitasking 
and the apps are truly running side by side instead of simulating the 
impression more or less well. Therefore, apps shouldn't eat all RAM alone and 
should free unneeded resources where applicable. 1 GB of RAM is not that much.

I think, for just showing info on the cover, giving the CPU sleep deprivation 
is overkill.

You can make the timer's running property depend on Qt.application.active (app 
is not minimized and screen is not locked) and the Cover.Active signal of the 
CoverBackground element (Cover is visible and screen is not locked).
I'm watching these two properties in Tidings, for example, to keep the elapsed 
time labels up to date.

this is a valid point, and you basically answered the question yourself already.
The bits and pieces for payment support are not there yet.

But for the time being, I suppose no one would stop you from going the

What makes you think that the contacts you sync from a 3rd party
service are still YOUR contacts? Haven't you read the fine-print of
the 3rd party service?
Basically, whatever you upload, you give up your rights on it to the

Re: [SailfishDevel] Scriptlets in RPM hot allowed to Harbour

[Martin Grimme]

Hi

2014/1/21, kaa :
> [...] Crap [...] Bla, bla , bla .. FUD .. bla bla bla [...] LOL [...] 
> bullshit [...] Howgh [...]

Thank you for valuable feedback. :)

IMHO, it makes sense to have both, Harbour and OpenRepos. You can compare
those in their function to Maemo Extras and Maemo Extras Devel in the old N900
days.
Everybody could upload to Extras Devel, but to get stuff into Extras, it had
to pass a quarantine and a (IMHO slow and frustrating) QA phase.
Only Extras was pre-enabled on sales devices, and even for this, Nokia
had to be
convinced first, that apps reaching Extras are ready for regular users.

Harbour has rules (sane rules IMHO) and QA (much less frustrating and
a lot faster than
the community-volunteer-driven Maemo Extras QA) to attempt to make
sure that apps

 - will install smoothly
 - will be compatible with future versions of the OS, where possible
 - will not break OS updates
 - don't compromise the system (well, it failed there, take the rpm installer
   in the Store, for instance)

I didn't include security in this enumeration, because we all know
that you cannot be
100% safe from malware, and OpenRepos may actually be safer in this
regard, if the
source is open.

The Flashlight app that phoned home with usage statistics still was legally
fine, though, even though phoning home is generally not well received.
It stole no
data, at least.

OpenRepos OTOH imposes no rules and no QA on the apps. Therefore, users should
be aware that apps

 - may not be installable or need more dependencies
 - may stop working with future OS updates
 - may even break OS updates (what happens in case of package conflicts?)
 - may compromise the system, as there are no limits

Basically, the users are free to do what they want with their devices. But for
legal reasons, the users must be informed about the consequences and accept
that if they break something, they get to keep the pieces.
The "Developer Mode" switch is this barrier.

It is a barrier that regular users (who may not even tell what a package is and
think of Linux as a laundry detergent) should not pass.
OpenRepos clearly lies beyond this barrier. That's why Harbour and the Jolla
Store are needed.

If you want to ignore Harbour, then that's your choice, and maybe it's fine as
your apps may be too advanced for the Average Joe, anyway.
But if you want to target the Average Joe, too, then you won't get around to
play by the rules of Harbour. It depends on who you want to reach.
Fortunately, Harbour rules are not set in stone and you can help shape them
for a better developer experience.


Just my 2 cents,
Martin

Hi,

those who experience their Jolla crashing out of the blue, can you please 
elaborate, to  see if we're in the same boat?

Did it switch off all of a sudden?
Because I'm experiencing this repeatedly. I begin to see a pattern in my switch 
offs. Heavy network traffic on forced 2G in the western part of Munich (Pasing 
and Planegg).
I haven't experience this problem in other areas so far, so I assume it could 
be ofono-related.

Do you see common patterns among your crashes, too?

Re: [SailfishDevel] Zypper and PackageKit

[Martin Grimme]

Hi,

2014/1/4, Andrey Kozhevnikov :
> afaik pakckagekit have easy queue management

Yes, PackageKit can queue transactions, and it can be operated without
root privileges (which zypper would require). Sailfish/Nemo uses
zypper's libzypp as backend for PackageKit, however.
AFAIK zypper doesn't come preinstalled on Sailfish, but can be installed.

Re: [SailfishDevel] [Update] Changelog for SailfishOS update 2 (1.0.2.5)

[Martin Grimme]

You can force-check from Settings -> About. This does a forced check
already. Probably you don't see any update (I don't see one either)
because the servers are jammed.

If you updated Jolla E-Mail already today, I suggest you leave the
store UI open, until you can do the OS update. Or you may risk not
being able to start the store anymore.

Yes, if you run the store-client manually from command line, it lacks
permission to access the keys.
You can look up the complete line to invoke it in its .desktop file,
though. This will provide it with the required privileges.

You're right. Those apps should not be updatable before updating the OS.

I think you can revive your store-client by updating the store-client
package and then doing a "pkill store-client".

Ouch, this looks like a partial update. Store was updated, but some

Re: [SailfishDevel] missing libc.so.6 on Jolla (again)

Hi,

this happens if x86 binaries end up in the ARM package. Be sure to

ARM.

Re: [SailfishDevel] State is persistent when I come back to a page, how to avoid this ?

[Martin Grimme]

Hi,

2013/12/18, Franck Routier (perso) :
> As to understanding why the card state persists, do you have any pointer
> to readings that would enlighten me ??

It's a page "stack", so the pages "below" the current page are still
existing in memory (you should be aware of that if you stack lots of
complex pages on top of each other).
Therefore, the previous page does not get destroyed, thus remains in
the state you left it.
Only when pushing a page onto the page stack, the new page gets
created with its original state.

Re: [SailfishDevel] Harbour news

[Martin Grimme]

Hi,

my question is similar, but not library-related.

What about stock icons (those from
/usr/share/theme/jolla-ambient/icons/ that you can use with
image://theme/ URIs) ? I'm developing an app that for the Sailfish
look & feel would like to make heavy use of them.

Are there restrictions? For now I'm only using icons coming from the
jolla-ambient package.
Is this fine, or am I required to ship my app completely with all
icons, which would look out-of-place if the user changes the icon
theme, though.

Android is not Linux. Android is as much Linux as iOS is BSD.
Android runs on top of a Linux kernel, but that's all Android and
GNU/Linux have in common.
Network inspection is probably exposed by the Android Java API.

You're right. It looks really ugly, and probably comes from the depths of Qt.
However, you can use rich text in Text or Label to fix this, e.g.:

Label {
color: Theme.primaryColor
textFormat: Text.RichText
text: "a:link { color: " + Theme.highlightColor +
"; }"
  + "This text contains a Link"
}

Re: [SailfishDevel] Jolla Harbour and Jolla Store

2013/11/6, Marcin M. :
> And somehow Debian and Ubuntu and ... do well it with real depends...

Well, Ubuntu and Debian are both dead slow on package management, and
the main reason for that is a fancy dependencies resolving system.

Still, if you add some 3rd party repos to Debian or Ubuntu that try to
replace some essential system packages with forked or newer versions,
then I'm not sure if a OS upgrade would went well, or break some
things, minor or major.
Have you ever tried installing GNOME shell on Ubuntu back when GNOME 3
was released? I found it was best to reinstall Ubuntu after this
experiment.

And the last thing you'd want to have as a phone vendor is bricking
user's phones on upgrades. You have to be careful what kind of system
modifications to allow, and what not.

You can do a lot of dangerous stuff with dependencies with rpm, so
better not allow it in the first place (to regular users; I'm not
talking about Linux geeks here).

Re: [SailfishDevel] Jolla Harbour and Jolla Store

Hi,

I think the same. While having deps and libraries and everything is
cool from a Linuxer's point of view, it will give a bad user
experience and just cry for breaking things when updating the OS or
other apps.

You can either try to get the library into Nemo, or include it in your
package or link to it statically. Those few kbytes wasted by this
approach should be no real problem, but worth it, if it improves the
user's experience and happiness with Sailfish devices.

I remember people crying they could not update their N900 because of
some library dependencies. Don't let this happen again.
1337 Linux h4x0rz in need of obscure libs and stuff will always find a
workaround to fulfill their needs, e.g. with 3rd party repositories.
:)

Keep in mind that Sailfish wants to be attractive to regular users and
user experience should be highly valued.


My 2 cents,
Martin

Re: [SailfishDevel] SearchField and focus

[Martin Grimme]

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem. My solution was to define the
SearchField _outside_ the list view, like this:

SilicaListView {
id: listview

...

header: Item {
// This is just a placeholder for the header box. To avoid the
// list view resetting the input box everytime the model resets,
// the search entry is defined outside the list view.
height: headerBox.implicitHeight
}

}

...

Column {
id: headerBox

property int neutralPos: 0

y: 0 - listview.contentY + neutralPos
width: parent.width

Component.onCompleted: {
neutralPos = listview.contentY;
}

SearchField {
...
}
}


That way, the SearchField floats on top of the list at the place
reserved by the placeholder Item.

Re: [SailfishDevel] Alpha 2: passing simple properties from main.cpp to qml

[Martin Grimme]

Hi,

you don't want to set the context property on the
QmlApplicationViewer, which was dead Nokia code to target Symbian and
Harmattan, anyway.
QmlApplicationViewer was derived from QmlView, where it got the
rootContext() method from.

With Qt5, QmlView was renamed to QQuickView. And when using the
functions from sailfishapplication.h, you get a QQuickView*, e.g.:

QScopedPointer view(Sailfish::createView("main.qml"));
view->rootContext()->setContextProperty("platform", platformId);

Re: [SailfishDevel] Building with the SDK without QtC

[Martin Grimme]

Hi,

you can log into the Mer SDK VM via ssh as user mersdk and run

sb2 /bin/bash

to log into Scratchbox. There you can develop with vim on a terminal.
There should also be some SDK magic available to deploy to the
emulator as QtCreator is doing ssh into the Mer SDK VM as well, but I
don't know the details for this.

you can also view the code of this demo by opening "Sailfish Silica

It goes a bit beyond what's documented in the Silica documentation, so

Re: [SailfishDevel] Why does sailfishapplication.cpp contain conditional preprocessor statements for desktop?

Well, you have to run

app->exec();

at the end of the main function. Otherwise, it just returns and exits
the program. :)

Re: [SailfishDevel] Is it worth it to use the Sailfish namespace functions/functions defined in sailfishapplicatoin.cpp instead of creating a QML/QtQuick application the default way?

[Martin Grimme]

Hi,

the MDeclarativeCache used by sailfishapplication.cpp is supposed to
give you a boost at application startup. Besides that
sailfishapplication.cpp contains a few more optimizations (e.g.
rendering flags for the graphics view). Its purpose is about the same
as the qmlapplicationviewer from Harmattan (which IMHO was bloated by
handling Symbian and desktop support as well).

You don't have to use sailfishapplication.cpp in your project and you
could set the rendering optimization flags yourself on a
QDeclarativeView. It's just easier to use the sailfishapplication.cpp.
People who only want to code with QML/JavaScript can treat it as a
black box  and still get an application running.

There are basically two ways of combining C++ objects with QML and
both can be used with sailfishapplication.cpp as well.

1. qmlRegisterType

Any QObject-based class can be exported to a QML namespace this way.
After importing the namespace in QML, the objects can be used like
normal QML elements. Instances of the objects are created in QML.
Use qmlRegisterType before loading the main.qml into the QDeclarativeView.

2. view->rootContext()->setContextProperty

QObjects instantiated in C++ code and primitive types can be made
available to QML this way. This can be useful, if your app is mainly
C++, and you just want to expose a facade for UI control to QML.


For combining QML with C++, you should remember a few rules:

* Any QObject can be exposed to QML.

* QML element properties are implemented using the Q_PROPERTY macro in
the C++ class header.

* Any public slot can be invoked from QML.

* Any public method declared with Q_INVOKABLE can be invoked from QML
(internally, Q_INVOKABLE converts the method to a slot).

* QML can connect to any signal of a QObject, e.g. use onMySignal in
QML to connect to a signal called mySignal.

* JavaScript function references (e.g. for callbacks) can be passed to
C++ as a parameter of type QScriptValue. The QScriptValue object can
be executed in C++ with its call method.

* Arbitrary QObject based objects can be passed from QML to C++ as
QVariant from which you can retrieve a QObject* and then cast to a
specific type with qobject_cast.

* A model for QML ListView (or SilicaListView) and similar elements
can be quickly implemented by deriving from a QAbstractListModel and
implementing the virtual methods rowCount and data.

* Simple list models can be exposed to QML by returning a QStringList
or QList.

* Structs or hashtables can be exposed to QML by returning a
QVariantMap. In QML you use the . notation to access the fields, e.g.
myData.value.

* Graphical QML elements can be implemented by deriving from
QDeclarativeItem and implementing the virtual paint method.

* Any C++ method invoked from QML should return quickly as it is
blocking the UI thread.

Re: [SailfishDevel] no c++ in Sailfish?

[martin . grimme]

Hi,

Qt Quick in general allows to be extended by C++ and interact with C++ code. So 
there's restriction of what you can do with it. Of course, if you don't need a 
GUI, you could do plain C++ as well. You could also write your GUI in C++ on 
Sailfish, but that's not the recommended way.

Re: [SailfishDevel] Cannot change SSH port in QtCreator for a device(?)

[martin . grimme]

Hi,

I have also seen thr message that the emulator was not running a couple of 
times. QtCreator asked me if I want it to start the emulator, so I said "yes". 
That is a no-op anyway (since VBoxManage was replaced), but if it makes 
QtCreator happy... ;)

I got one step further. The reason why QtCreator didn't find the the simulator 
was that I forgot to give the VBoxManage script executable rights. Now I can 
connect to the device, and test says device successfully connected.
If I actually try to deploy my project (default hello) on the device it says 
SailfishOS Emulator is not running, which is weird since the device test went 
fine. Tried to restart QtCreator several times, and also re-recorded the 
outputs of the VBoxManage commands, but no help there. Any tips to share, or 
should I start the rubberhose debugging now? :)

Re: [SailfishDevel] Cannot change SSH port in QtCreator for a device(?)

[Martin Grimme]

Hi,

the ports in use are  and 2223 for ssh, and 1 up to 10019
(depends on how many are needed) for debugging.

Port 65535 is not a valid port and should not be tunneled. QtCreator
shows this port when it cannot query the virtual machine for port
information for some reason.
So if you see port 65536 in QtCreator, then something went wrong and
that needs to found and fixed. Probably the recorded VBoxManage output
is not found or not played back correctly. Unfortunately, it's not
easy to debug this. I used strace on the QtCreator process a lot to
find out where it failed and how to make QtCreator happy with fake
data.

Re: [SailfishDevel] Menus in Long ListViews

[Martin Grimme]

Hi,

one solution I that comes to my mind would be to overlay an "Add"
IconButton over the list view, e.g. in the upper right corner. The
SilicaListView would still occupy the whole page, but the button takes
input precedence in that corner since it's rendered above.

[SailfishDevel] Howto: Sailfish SDK in Virtual Machines on Mac OS-X

[Martin Grimme]

Hi all,

I would like to share my setup of how I managed to run the Sailfish
SDK on Mac OS-X. While you could of course run the SDK virtual machine
inside a Linux virtual machine, this would be terribly slow.
Instead, you want to run all three virtual machines, Linux, MerSDK,
SailfishOS Emulator directly on Mac OS.

This setup was tested on Mac OS-X 10.8.2. It may or may not work
similarly on a Windows host.

* Install VirtualBox on your host OS. Give it at least 1.5 GB of RAM.
After the whole setup process, you may push this down to about 500 MB,
if desired.

* Install Linux in a VirtualBox. Ubuntu 12.10 32 bit works just fine.
Don't forget to install the guest additions as well, because we will
have to use shared folders.

* Install VirtualBox on Linux and install the Sailfish SDK afterwards.
The suggested installation path /home//SailfishOS is fine.
Do not install the SDK into a shared folder as shared folders don't
support creating symlinks.

* Open the VirtualBox configurator on Linux and export the two virtual
machines 'MerSDK' and 'SailfishOS Emulator' by selecting 'File ->
Export Appliance'. This will take some  time. Move the resulting .ova
files to your host OS (Mac OS-X in my case).

* Create a directory 'MerHome' on your host OS, e.g. /Users//MerHome.
Inside MerHome, create three directories:

 - emulator
 - mersdk
 - projects

* Copy the SailfishOS/emulator/ssh directory from Linux into the just
created directory 'MerHome/emulator' on the host OS.

* Copy the SailfishOS/mersdk/ssh directory from Linux into the just
created directory 'MerHome/mersdk' on the host OS.

* Copy the ~/.scratchbox2 directory from Linux into the just created
directory 'MerHome' on the host OS.

* Open a terminal on Linux and pack up the targets directory:

 cd SailfishOS/mersdk
 tar -czf targets.tar.gz targets

* Move the file targets.tar.gz to your host OS into 'MerHome/mersdk'
and unpack it there:

 cd MerHome/mersdk
 tar -xzf targets.tar.gz

* Open the VirtualBox configurator on your host OS and import the two
recently exported VirtualBox appliances by selecting 'File -> Import
Appliance'.

* Edit the shared folders settings of the 'MerSDK' virtual machine:

 home -> 
 ssh -> /mersdk/ssh
 targets -> /mersdk/targets

Make sure that you don't change the mount names during this action.

* Edit the shared folder settings of the 'SailfishOS Emulator' virtual machine:

 ssh -> /emulator/ssh

Make sure that you don't change the mount name during this action.

* You may optionally also want to activate audio while in the
'SailfishOS Emulator' settings.

* Test-run the MerSDK virtual machine on the host OS. Does it come up with the
message 'mounted home and targets successfully'? Then the shared
folders settings ought to be OK.
Close the virtual machine (saving machine state instead of shutdown is fine).

* Add the directory 'MerHome/projects' to the shared folders of your
Linux virtual machine. This may be done while the machine is running.

* In your Linux home directory create an empty directory with the same
name 'projects'.

* As root, add the following line to /etc/fstab on Linux:

 projects   /home//projects   vboxsf  rw,uid=1000,gid=10000   0

Replace  with your username and use the GID and UID of the user.
On Ubuntu, the first user normally has GID = 1000 and UID = 1000.

* As root, mount the projects shared folder:

 mount projects

* Open the VirtualBox configurator on Linux and change the host
keyboard key in the global settings to something different than on the
VirtualBox on your host OS.

* Start the two virtual machines on Linux with the VirtualBox
configurator. They will be very slow (as you're running VirtualBox
inside VirtualBox), so you need to have some patience until they're
fully loaded. Fortunately this has to be done only once. You will
later never have to use VirtualBox inside VirtualBox again.

* Record the output of VBoxManage that the Sailfish SDK expects:

 VBoxManage showvminfo MerSDK --machinereadable
>/var/tmp/VBoxManage_885215c435c21d083b077b43317cc642
 VBoxManage list runningvms
>/var/tmp/VBoxManage_59f2c7dff31ccbe383c7cc12541bdf1b
 VBoxManage showvminfo "SailfishOS Emulator" --machinereadable
>/var/tmp/VBoxManage_16de532e1ffcdb602a512c49138ccca1

The names of the record files contain the md5 sum of the command, so
they must match exactly.

* Stop the two virtual machines.

* In the Linux virtual machine, locate your VBoxManage program. On my
Ubuntu installation, this is '/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxManage'.
Become root and move the file to VBoxManage.orig.

 sudo su
 cd /usr/share/virtualbox
 mv VBoxManage VBoxManage.orig

* Save this script as VBoxManage. It will record the output of
VBoxManage and later replay that output for the Sailfish SDK.

#! /bin/bash

VBOXMANAGE=`dirname $0`/VBoxManage.orig
COMMAND=`echo "$@" | md5sum | cut -d" " -f1`
RECORDFILE=/var/tmp/VBoxManage_${COMMAND}

if [ ! -f ${RECORDFILE} ]; then
  ${VBOXMANAGE} $@
  exit $?
else
  cat ${RECORDFILE}
fi

* St
