Hello. UbunCon Sintra 2019 just posted my first talk at the UbuCon (and my first talk ever).

If you want to get started with clickable and you don't know how, you might find this videotutorial interesting or useful.

Have fun, thanks for the fish and sorry for the inner jokes.

PS: You can post your questions in this thread if you need me to clarify something

So, following @Josele13's idea this could be it:

@Flohack Do you need a rounded corners version for something? If you use the sqared svg UT takes care of the corners

List of Useful Code

I thought it would be useful to do a list of little templates, tools and maybe tricks to common problems we face when developing.

Templates

• About QML Template
• Button to Hide/Show Header
• Download Dialogue with Progress Bar
• Import Hub example. Click on the button to import a file and see in the logs the mimeType, url, etc

Tools

• Download Interceptor (download files that cannot be handled by the download manager
• Blob Saver (be able to download blob url)

Thanks @bhdouglass
Do you want to share yours?

We have finished a first draft for a Human Interface Guidelines wiki

It is basically most of the information we have been using until today.
Merge requests and comments are welcome

Random thoughts:

I've been using only UT for the last four years. No turning back for me. I have very good experience with my E5.
I've bought a PinePhone to support the project and to have a possible replacement for my beloved grandpa E5 in a future.

Hello!
Thanks for the hype, notification and questions.
@domubpkm:

• the Linphone app currently diesn't support encryption. It's planned for next releases. Supposedly is possible with the code but all the help is welcomed.
• About privacy, here you have the legal aspects of Linphone service. Notice that when stted «contact list on your phone» and similars, they are talking about iOS and Android Linphone apps.
  Linphone for UT uses the command line Linphone, called linphonec and the daemon linphonecsh and you can see here the modification Brian did to it and the qml code used in the app.
• Here you can check how SIP should work as a protocol.
• And to change the email parameter for a Linphone account, you have to do it (for now) at their website or creating a «new account» in the app and checking the bottom section (witch is actually the same website).

I have started this configuration file for Geany to highlight the element names.

It's not nearly finished but MRs are welcome

Thanks for the kind words.

I talked with Szymon and he was very kind to pass me the helm. I'm lucky to have a very nice code as a base, so probably can update it with little effort or at least I hope so.

Pass by the gitlab to file bugs and add code or anything

Welcome!

We have only some rules here: try not to offtopic, be respectful and use a family friendly language

About on how to post issues it depends on where are they (at the beginning is quite confusing to know which part is responsible, so ask :)) some guidelines though:

• Issue with a core app? Here: https://gitlab.com/ubports/apps/
• Issue with other apps? Check on the info of the app in OpenStore app or its website
• Issue with the system itself? If you don't know what part of the system is you can use the general github repository

I think you have some info there to start digging in

I have realized that:

• Button element, if no color is asigned, looks grey #b2b2b2 (which is not in our palette) and
• Neutral button actions (in our theme palette) looks a bit special

What we do? Change the theme to match the default grey? Add an exception? Change the default button color to match the palette?

Left: default grey
Right: default neutral button palette specification

Arale on dev channel

• Reopening the app keeps the cue (but keeps the already listened episodes)
• Position in a episode is lost (always starts from position 0:00) no matter if it's on or off settings for downloaded episodes*.
• Listen an episode until the end, reopen the app. The episode stays in the cue

* -- If the last listened episode is a downloaded episode, when reopening, the position is lost
-- Online episodes remember position
-- If you listen to a downloaded episode, jump to an online episode and reopen the app. Position of both episodes are remembered

@danqo6 said in Podbird reignited:

Hello guys, I implemented today that podbird can remember queue between restarts and playback position for every episode.

Whhhheeeet?? How did you do that?

@Torkel67 that is probably the media hub. Only plays one source at a time... so UT. It's design to work like that I think it's true I remember playing podcast while driving and having uNav indications with no problem...

@peat_psuwit said in Call for testing: Updated Pulseaudio & better Bluetooth headset support:

Since the update from yesterday in the dev channel, media-hub audio stops when locking the device. Is it related to this? Is better to tet this as well?

@djkemmet quick answering:

• Python is as good as any other language to app
• As you discovered, no adb (the PinePhone doesn't use Android drivers, just mainline kernel) so as pointed above, shh
• Even of there is work to make Qt Creator work again, we use clickable for developement: https://clickable-ut.dev/

Maybe you want to join forces with MiMeCar https://qt-programming-course-sphinx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I would say, better to work on the system VPN plugin

@marc_aurel said in How to extend the system UI and UX?:

One idea is to modularise the system UI to replace the content of the left sidebar with an app.

That has being discussed and I think we don't want to go that way.

Another clever idea on our Volla Community Days last week was, to use the finger print sensor to trigger an event to open an app or bring it to the front.

Have in mind that not all devices have finger print sensors (specially desktops). Ubuntu Touch since its concept, aims to be cross platform from phone to desktop.

@Elleo said in Podbird reignited:

Feel free to fork the project if you'd like to take over maintenance of it

Isn't it better to push changes to your repo? Or do you prefer to step back from the project?

You did a great job and we really appreciate your app, remember that

@Elleo said in Podbird reignited:

[...] I had been working on [...]

That sounds really cool...

@DansLeRuSH said in Ubuntu Touch UI & Volla Phone:

By the "drop" area, I mean the notch (that's my poetic side) And when I said "shift to the left", sorry about misunderstood, I mean offset a few pixels to the left, not completely to the left. I have to look after notifications parameters ...

O I see
I would say: is there a way to detect the hardware / model. So, if you do you could set the Volla Phone to use some margin on the top of the screen
