Wanting to continue Nexus 5 Dev
-
One of the traditional benefits of open source is making sure perfectly good hardware doesn't go to waste, (old laptops to netbooks etc.). I'm glad 16.04 still installs on my Nexus 5; Unfortunately I don't see any app for an external tethered camera; and the Word Processor (LightP) is not as good as the reviews indicate (can't intentionally save without creating new file, or overwrite a file); And there is no Emacs available in shell. I can use the whole thing as SSH with a whole lot of chrome, but I'd prefer better.
So... I need to do some dev! One of the examples in Qt Create is virtually a camera app already. But my efforts have been a bit cumbersome so far:
- I reverted to clickable 7.9 in the pipx repos (the only install method that works on my Debian)
- I arbitrarily changed the minimum version to 6.0 in clickable.yaml
- Changed "framework" to "ubuntu-sdk-16.04.5" in manifest.json.in
- Changed "policy_version" to "16.04" in {project}.apparmor
... And after three days of effort, at least something is happening on Nexus 5, unfortunately just a blip and an immediate crash of the boilerplate helloworld.
Perhaps there's a better approach. I'm going to look for an error log, but if anyone has any tips or resources, that would be great!

You shouldn't have needed to revert to an earlier version of clickable. Changing the framework and policy version should have been enough.

@cjengle It is recommended to start from the clickable initial projects. Use
clickableinitcreateand choose accordingly. Then change on top of them, so you have an initial working hello world. As almost all apps on the Open Store are open source you can get inspiration from their source code.
What app are you missing and want to develop/port? -
That's what I was initially told, @arubislander ;But I had an error after only changing the "framework" to "ubuntu-sdk-16.04.5", something along the lines of "16.04 is deprecated, no longer supported. Please use a more current framework".
I then changed the other settings to accommodate the rollback (the only thing I could think to do), but maybe there was something more I could have done with the current Clickable?
I have been using "clickable create" per Youtube and doc tutorials. Not sure if it's too much different than "clickable init"? I'll have to look into the latter. [Edit: looks like they are equivalent commands]

Sorry I meant clickable create not init, didn't have a computer in front of me and couldn't remember the exact command. Should have read the documentation (https://clickable-ut.dev/en/latest/getting-started.html) again.

@ikoz Actually the --help readout has "init" in parenthesis, that command works too
