          @flohack Thank you for the answer
          I don't understand very well what is said on your link. Here is my lack of knowledge about collaborative methods of coding. I'm a poor lonesome coder ...
          But if the work is about to succeed, it's a very good news !

            @mimecar Hi...In my opinion, LaTex is the best option, easy and with sufficient resources to guarantee a comfortable edition.

              @flohack Great...It would be great, it's very important for the Ubports ecosystem to have a SDK working without give us a lot of isssues.

                @mimecar I know that everyone will have their opinion on your choice of technology, but I can say that document flow and downloadable formats are very good with Sphinx and ReStructuredText. At UBports, we mainly use Read the Docs to accomplish our documentation. The Godot game engine also uses Read the Docs for their documentation quite successfully.

                If you have any questions on using any of these technologies, drop me a PM and I'll be happy to help you get them set up.

                  Good afternoon.

                  I have dedicated this week to analyzing the different options that I have. For the facilities that it gives, I will use ReadTheDocs. Although it does not give me as much control as the other options (LaTeX, LibreOffice, etc.), it allows me to fulfill the needs that I have:

                  • Reduced time since I finish an entry and it is published.
                  • To be able to have the course in several formats (HTML, PDF, etc.)
                  • Being able to have the documentation in several languages (facilitates collaborations)
                  • Integrated with version control.

                  I'm going to dedicate this month to migrate the course to ReadTheDocs. Next month there would be new delivery of the course. I still do not know if it will be at the beginning or at the end of the month.

                            Hello,
                            @flohack said in Ubuntu Touch Programming Course:

                            FYI we are in an experimental state with building the sdk again: https://github.com/ubports/usdk-image-tools/pull/1 - if this Pull Request is finally merged it should be able to generate a new SDK 🙂

                            BR

                            It seems that something was done some days ago. Is the good sdk available now ?

                                @advocatux : thanks but I don't find a thread speaking of that on this forum and github is a bit vague for me.

                                @Flohack : any news ?

                                    @Flohack : I read on your link :

                                    • Generate the SDK for Ubports #1
                                      Merged
                                      mardy merged 5 commits into ubports:master from mardy:ubports 21 days ago

                                    But I'm not sure to understand. Can we use now the Ubuntu Touch Programming Course with the good sdk ?

                                        @mimecar never replied me ...
                                        @mardy I don't know ...

                                        It seems that there are some explanations in this new thread (work in progress)

                                        Have a nice day

                                          Hi, everyone!

                                          I´m starting to play with the examples in the book in order to build my own apps. Just last night I used clickable to run the WeatherRecorder app on my desktop (xenial); everything ran pretty well except for the images temperature.png and search.png not loading.

                                          The terminal complains it cannot find them in the build path. Any ideas?

                                          Thanks in advance.

                                            Hi @shelllavie
                                            the sample applications ”WeatherRecorder” and ”WeatherRecorderChart” was made using the Ubuntu-sdk-ide.
                                            After writing them, that tool was deprecated and replaced by ‘clickable’.

                                            Running the the sample apps with clickable can be little issues.


                                            Issue 1: icon images .png ( temperature.png and search.png) are not showed when the running on a device (or desktop) and are not include in .click package.

                                            Fix: Add this:
                                            $$files(*.png,true) \
                                            at the existing entry “QML_FILES” in the WeatherRecorde.pro file
                                            the one placed inside the folder containing .png icon and qml files).
                                            With that modification should like this:

                                            QML_FILES += $$files(.qml,true)
                                            $$files(
                                            .png,true)
                                            $$files(*.js,true)


                                            Issue 2: there are incongruous values for ‘applicationName’ parameters in Main.qml and “manifest.json.in” files.
                                            This could cause an error when trying to run the application on a device.

                                            Fix: Align the values in “Main.qml” and “manifest.json.in” to have the same value in both files.

                                            In Main.qml
                                            applicationName: "weatherrecorderchart"

                                            manifest.json.in
                                            "name": "weatherrecorderchart",


                                            I can't update sources on github because the owner of the repo is mimecar.

                                            tnx
