Hello. UbunCon Sintra 2019 just posted my first talk at the UbuCon (and my first talk ever).

If you want to get started with clickable and you don't know how, you might find this videotutorial interesting or useful.

Have fun, thanks for the fish and sorry for the inner jokes.

PS: You can post your questions in this thread if you need me to clarify something

I have been working in a Morph Browser icon.

Thoughts?

Hints:

• Name

Marius answered to «Why is called Morph»:

Since it "Morphs" into different shapes (convergence) and fits all screens

• Icon
  Based on Origami (Licenced CC-by Creative Mania from the Noun Project)

@ktatar156 Interesting. You may arrive at some break point in time with Google things and focused on moving to Focal (which is a tonne of work). Then it will come the rest.

• Mail: You could use Dekko. It works perfectly with all standard email accounts. Gmail is being worked on (again).
• Contacts: Work is being done and there are workarounds, export and import the agendas.
• GPS works in UT. Android apps are an additional non-UT feature I would say.
• Firefox: it is difficult to port by the way is designed (I believe), I know you said you can't code but you could try finding a group of coder instead. I know is difficult but that's how some other random projects got developed (waydroid is an example)
• Webapps: people insist in making those even if discouraged. You can filter the apps by native if you like.
• Outdated apps: well, that has a more difficult solution. Some things you could try is poking the developers, ask for ownership, create a developing group...

But I would say it is not fair going away, come back and expect someone else did the work you request.

List of Useful Code

I thought it would be useful to do a list of little templates, tools and maybe tricks to common problems we face when developing.

Templates

• About QML Template
• Button to Hide/Show Header
• Download Dialogue with Progress Bar
• Import Hub example. Click on the button to import a file and see in the logs the mimeType, url, etc

Tools

• Download Interceptor (download files that cannot be handled by the download manager
• Blob Saver (be able to download blob url)

Thanks @bhdouglass
Do you want to share yours?

We have finished a first draft for a Human Interface Guidelines wiki

It is basically most of the information we have been using until today.
Merge requests and comments are welcome

So, following @Josele13's idea this could be it:

@Flohack Do you need a rounded corners version for something? If you use the sqared svg UT takes care of the corners

Podcast lovers shout! Shout! Ready or noot!

Oh, expect bugs (and hopefully new features soon), but PodCat may be a slight faster on every version.

Random thoughts:

I've been using only UT for the last four years. No turning back for me. I have very good experience with my E5.
I've bought a PinePhone to support the project and to have a possible replacement for my beloved grandpa E5 in a future.

I'm interested to know the use we do of the clock app as it will be useful for a small redesign

a) I open the Clock App when I want to: _____________
b) I normally open the Clock App from: ______________
c) I think Clock App misses: _______________________

Rate the following aspects between 0-4, being
0 I don't know what's that,
1 never, once or for testing,
2 some times,
3 quite often and
4 always:

d) Clock (the time)
e) World Clock (more than 1 city clock)
f) Alarm (wake me up)
g) Chronometer (timer with laps)
h) Timer (count down)

i) I have been using Ubuntu touch as my main device since: _______ (or never if it's not your main drive)

I have started this configuration file for Geany to highlight the element names.

It's not nearly finished but MRs are welcome

I think I didn't explain myself correctly XD
I was thinking in adding a new service Provider that is not in the system.

Maybe here:
https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-online-accounts/-/tree/main/example++s

Ah, no. I don't think it's possible to pass an url + the appid link. The idea is to open the app...

To investigate:
https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-url-dispatcher/-/blob/main/tests/dispatcher-test.cc

^__^

Oh!
Might be this?

application:///morph-browser.desktop

https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-schemas/-/blob/main/data/schemas/com.lomiri.Shell.gschema.xml.in#L268

@kugiigi I'm pretty sure it only works for clicks as it takes appID

For the messaging app... I think you can use 'message://'
You can see the hooks for the url-dispatcher in the system.

...

I think the apps should receive an url if it's indicated in the desktop file:
Exec=morph-browser %u
%u should be 1 link, %U a list of them

The issue:

• I've set up some links to open by App1
• Inside App1, I show a link
• This link, when tapped, is opened by App1

How do I force the link to be opened with Morph?

I've seen this, but I couldn't make it work as

Qt.openUrlExternally("appid://morph-broswer.ubports/morph-broswer/current-user-version" link)

Is the ContentHub required?

@libremax true. Thanks for the hint

@flohack

@danfro is significative that users only have issues with the app back button, but not with any other ones that are in the same position (menu in TELEports for example).

The camera issue that you are could be solved with the proposition I did for the terrible design that is the notch thing. But I can't be sure as I don't know the model.
Here also comes handy to be able to use the device upside down like the Poco.

Also, let's remember that UT is not thought for mobiles, but for all devices.

@undrwater the thing is Ubuntu Touch is a left, top OS.
It would ideal is developers follow the Human Interface Guidelines and stop pushing bottom controls into apps.
And again, there is no «global back» concept because we have the app spread to switch from app to app. And the launcher to launch apps. Of course there's an in-app back, end it is on the top left corner.
