C++ and SDL with Clickable. A little help please.

lduboeuf

@lduboeuf just for sharing, published a sample app that using only SDL2 audio https://github.com/lduboeuf/sfxr-qt. I've used template from @zubozrout SDL2 and it works fine.
On my device, sounds are not good quality ( some noises ) , not sure if it is hardware pb or something in-between ( on Desktop it plays fine ).

Just FYI, the credit is not mine but goes to my brother - his nick is zub, mine is not :). Unfortunately I lack the deeper knowledge necessary for such things. All I did was that I upgraded it to work with clickable (already on the original repo) and to run on 16.04 (apparently the apparmor framework update is still not there, but whatever).

Regarding the SDL2 clickable template it doesn't sound as a bad idea though. However I really can't spend the time on it now :(. And the second thing is that SDL is no longer supporting Mir and new stuff may require newer SDL. So the question is whether this is useful. With Unity 8 and Mir upgrades (now on Edge) Wayland-enabled stuff should start working. So it would probably be better to start from scratch and take a look at how to compile SDL apps with Wayland. And I suspect that will be much more documented and a more streamlined experience.

Sadly Mir didn't turned out the way I was hoping it would ... it is a nicely written code on par with the latest standards as that's how Canonical rolls but that's probably not what the general Linux community wants :(.

@mymike and others: Creating a clickable template is as simple as providing a git repository with an app that showcases the use case. If someone would like to provide some (it looks like you guys already have something running), simply reply on the feature request: https://gitlab.com/clickable/clickable/issues/122

I got my C++/SDL2 program working via clickable on Ubuntu Touch. I got frustrated and put the project aside for several months, but I got back at it a few days ago. I used this demo to start with:
https://gitlab.com/zub2/SDLDemo
I'm not using the SDL2pp wrapper, just the regular SDL2 libraries. I have images, fonts, touchscreen and audio mixer working good.

The only problem I need to fix before I can publish it is my app wont seem to run completely full screen. How do I get rid of the Top Bar? The one with the clock and battery icon, etc. It's covering the top of my app window.

@Craig we suggest not to run apps in full mode as a general rule.

You can accomplish that adding --fullscreen if you are using qmlscene or for cpp look into this code might be helpful

Craig

Thank you everyone for your help. I finally figured it out and published my app.

@Craig Super, do you mind adding the link to sources in the OpenStore?

lduboeuf

@Craig Congratulation :). But the app crash on my N5 at startup ( devel ).

Got some shm_open failed. Permission denied

Craig

@lduboeuf I have a Nexus 4, 5 and 7. It's working on all three of mine.

@Craig, on my N5 devel (last todays image) I have even a unity8 restart when lauching from the openstore

Craig

@lduboeuf I reinstalled UT on my Nexus 5 (hammerhead) just now. I went to the Open Store and installed Cube Chron. The app is working. Sorry, I don't know what could be causing the problem you are experiencing. It's also working on my Nexus 4 and 7.

Craig

@mymike Trying to figure that out. I don't have a github account.
