@Flohack Sorry, I dont get it. Where should I now run the result of the proc clickable and how?

flohack

@guru clickable will install & run the click on your phone when its connected.

@guru Yeah you need to get out of your comfort zone when developing for a phone: 1) you need cross-compile for armhf, 2) you need to compile under the context of the xenial version which is used on the phone. ...

How does clickable know while building what is the target device and what is installed on it? Should the device already be connected before start of clickable?

It defaults to building for an armhf device. It assumes UT is installed and will proceed to install the app. Yes, it's easiest if you connect the device via usb first. Make sure you can adb into the device, that's the same way how clickable will communicate with the device

You must have had other problems... its all in the clickable ppa, also for 17.10: https://launchpad.net/~bhdouglass/+archive/ubuntu/clickable

From the dialog in the tg group:

Jonatan Hatakeyama Zeidleradmin
Du meintest, du nutzt Ubuntu 17.10, oder? Das ist schon lange EoL und unser clickable PPA stellt sicher keine Updates mehr dafür zur Verfügung.

(it's in German but the message is clear: 17.10 is EOL and there are no updates for clickable anymore). Just to have this clear for others.

@guru ah you and Jonny have been right! I looked it up yesterday and failed on using launchpad. You can select your ubuntu version there using a drop down menu. But it doesn't filter the package list right away. You have to press the filter button next to the drop down... So okay, don't use any ubuntu version that is EOL... ^^

@doniks Yepp, with the E4.5 attached (and ADB permitted before) the software gets transfered and started in the phone:

    guru@m4400:~/Dekko2/dekko$ clickable --debug

Now I will read and try to understand where to put hands on. Any internal documentation about the structure would be helpful.

Haha. Can we get "clickabler" merchandising?

flohack

@doniks Yeah I think a T-Shirt at least. Buut... then clickable first needs some nice artwork. What is @bhdouglass thinking about this

bhdouglass

@CiberSheep did make clickable a little logo: http://clickable.bhdouglass.com/en/latest/_static/logo.png so you could make a T-shirt with that

CiberSheep

@bhdouglass I want one!

svg here

flohack

@CiberSheep Oh cool! But I dont get the message of the logo, is it smth like LEGO that makes click? XD

CiberSheep

@Flohack If you think of a package, you can imagine a box with a stripe to keep it closed
Something like this

advocatux

@CiberSheep I like to see it as one of those fancy rooftop terrace swimming pools

CiberSheep
