Thank you very much Michael Zanetti, for your valuable answers. I appreciate it. I looked at the architecture of Ubuntu, it seems that a user space application can access qtubuntu or platform-api functions and interfaces. There was no path to communicate with Ofono directly by an application, but you said a user space application has access to the Ofono interface. It is interesting. Can i call Ofono functions by a program inside ubuntu-sdk and then compile the code for Nexus 5 mobile phone? What software interfaces are available for a user application under UbuntuTouch operating systems, I see some names like QtUbuntu, Platform-API, Hybris, Ofono and so on. Which of them are available? Can they be used inside a Ubuntu-SDK environment? When you want to develop an application for UbuntuTouch, do you use Ubuntu-SDK? or you compile your application another way? By developing code, i mean accessing GSM functionalities particularly. Sorry for multiple questions, I had to ask them because they are related. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
