Anyone got an idea why qtCreator complains about importing pyotherside as done in the tutorial: qml module does not contain information about components contained in plugins The program itself runs fine on my Kubuntu18.04 system, so it seems to be an qtCreator specific problem. Edit: hmm, seems to be a pyotherside 1.4 specific issue, but I guess not such a good idea to upgrade as UT is also still stuck on 1.4

At first I will start to port the minifb https://github.com/emoon/rust_minifb crate to Ubuntu Touch. It think so more projects could be profit and ported to Ubuntu Touch. We use minifb it as main window library. The first port will wrap QWindow.

What I alternative want to check is to draw in the frame buffer of a QWindow.

@AppLee I'm actually not using the OpenStore at all but just doing all my development work locally at the moment. I'm not using clickable because my app cannot be cross-compiled. It relies on a rust dbus crate that doesn't allow cross-compiling (see https://github.com/diwic/dbus-rs/blob/master/libdbus-sys/cross_compile.md for details).

@Aury88 ok. build completed and app launched correctly on desk. Thank you again

@mirroronthewall Porting android apps is not the best way to achieve your goal I think. The best course of action is to create a native app which can integrate libs or some algorithm from Open Source projects like the one you mentioned. AR and VR requires some work but it's doable, just need someone motivated and with enough time to do the job. If I win the lottery (but I don't bet) I'll be happy to try out the AR

If we start with HERE, see their API first. We need search (address->coordinates), routing and reverse search (coordinates->address). Pure Maps uses REST API to communicate with the servers. So, check their REST API and see if you can get trucks support if you use it. Docs are at https://developer.here.com/documentation Routing at https://developer.here.com/documentation/routing/dev_guide/topics/request-a-simple-route.html If routing seems OK, then let's start with search. Its API at https://developer.here.com/documentation/geocoder/dev_guide/topics/what-is.html That API we will translate to code in https://github.com/rinigus/pure-maps/tree/master/geocoders , so Pure Maps will understand it

With Webapp Creator you can fill the info, tap on Somple Webapp and choose «Custom» for the type to choose several options on the behaviour and permissions: [image: 1575553524540-51c7e6f5-d728-4099-b91e-63736b5029f3-imatge.png]

@MarkG_108 said in How should I set up my environment for developing?: I tried, from way 0, to run the script i've just updated the script, i made a mistake regarding volume mapping if you want to see any files under your home directory... ( don't need to rebuild the image though, only the sh script)

@poVoq Yes this is the easiest way to do it. If you search for the first release of my app this is what I used. But I had a limitation regarding self signed certificates. So I decided to create a C++ library to send HTTPS requests. Thanks for sharing your findings ; could be helpful for other

@Flohack Yes the overall system seems quite easy, but the devil lies in the details. Starting from scratch would be reinventing the wheel when there are those nice existing NodeRed nodes. But they reference further NodeJS libraries and while all of that is probably not a big deal for an somewhat experienced Javascript developer, I am somewhat lost looking at it

@The_Cougar_Kid Okay another dekko click in your inbox, which seems to work on first sight.

@poVoq lol good point...if i get some time this weekend i'll fork the repo and take a look on my machine.

Hi @supaiku! Your question is pretty broad, but lets try... Other ways of contributing to apps than writing code: reading code - some tasks like creating developer documentation, only needs you to read and understand the code helping with design creating art work like app icons making mock ups for new apps taking administrative burdens from developers by managing issues for example (being the maintainer of an app you know very well is possible without knowing how to code) help testing of course by joing the ubports qa and test telegram group or: more structured tests were nice in some cases, but someone would need to create that (infra)structure, either by creating and managing test tables, which are filled by testers or by setting up more advanced test managing systems (i.e. see http://www.systemtestportal.org/) translating apps maybe you find enough app devs around you to host a hackathon

There are several libraries with QT bindings for Go out there. As a matter of fact clickable already provides a code template for writing Go apps for Ubuntu Touch. It uses @nanu-c's fork of another project.

I am also interested in this, as I am currently working on a wrapper to bring ConverseJS (XMPP client) to UT. Looking at this repo: https://github.com/florisluiten/rssreader/ There seem to be some built in UT styles: <link href="/usr/share/ubuntu-html5-ui-toolkit/0.1/ambiance/css/appTemplate.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script src="/usr/share/ubuntu-html5-ui-toolkit/0.1/ambiance/js/fast-buttons.js"></script> <script src="/usr/share/ubuntu-html5-ui-toolkit/0.1/ambiance/js/core.js"></script> <script src="/usr/share/ubuntu-html5-ui-toolkit/0.1/ambiance/js/buttons.js"></script> <script src="/usr/share/ubuntu-html5-ui-toolkit/0.1/ambiance/js/dialogs.js"></script> <script src="/usr/share/ubuntu-html5-ui-toolkit/0.1/ambiance/js/page.js"></script> <script src="/usr/share/ubuntu-html5-ui-toolkit/0.1/ambiance/js/pagestacks.js"></script> But they look a bit unfinished. Given that it says version 0.1, I am wondering if there is maybe a newer version available by now? Edit: This seems to be similar: https://youtu.be/g5pD3b87bC4 Edit2: this seems to be the latest version and Ubuntu seems to have stopped including this in distributions later than 16.04. So for now it will work, but I guess once the switch is made to 20.04 these will need a new maintainer.

@AppLee Thank you AppLee for notifying me. Yes, indeed I'm stil working on it and I'm focusing on the UI right now. I will release very soon an update, which will bring the ability to set thresholds and get notified when a threshold is overcome. For any request, please follow the link to the thread AppLee highlighted before, instead than replying in here, to avoid fragmentation.

It's time for a small bugfix release, but this one does add some needed features as well. 1.6.6 (2019-11-16) - Added option to add password protected feeds. Implemented new podcast player with styling support. General UI improvements and bug fixes (see CHANGELOG for details). Hoping to start adding translation support for the next version.

Thank you, @dobey. I'll feed that information back.

Sportify works flawlessly with Mopidy on UBPorts. It's not the easiest to set up but it is worth it. [image: 1573662092001-mopidy.jpg] [image: 1573662121579-mopidy2.jpg]
