[00:01] Still getting "No valid kits found" when starting Ubuntu SDK... === chriadam|away is now known as chriadam [05:27] good morning [05:52] good morning [06:09] i want to take part in the app showdown. i know i am late. but it seems a fun idea! [06:10] i was reading the details of the contest. is the AGPL allowed for code submitted to the contest? it's not directly listed here: http://opensource.org/licenses though. [06:13] rigved, let me have a look, I think it should be fine [06:13] rigved, it should be fine, so go for it: http://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical :) [06:19] dpm: awesome! [06:50] good morning [06:53] good morning [07:52] bzoltan, do you have an idea what could be causing bug 1207687? [07:52] Launchpad bug 1207687 in Ubuntu Calculator App "First swipe up (and down) doesn't work" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1207687 [07:52] dpm: no idea... timp should know [07:55] ok, thanks, will wait for him to come up === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach [08:44] Good morning all, happy Friday and happy Tell A Joke Day! :-D [09:21] randomcpp: here maybe [09:21] yeah [09:21] randomcpp: you definitely want many documents. this is a prerequisite for using Query which filters on the document [09:22] so say you have a "name" field you can filter on that [09:22] and put it in a ListView for example as well [09:22] ok so I'm doing the right way :) [09:23] (if you're interested, https://github.com/random-cpp/saucybacon ) [09:24] randomcpp: there is an inofficial method to delete stuff, though it needs a proper api. you can do database.putDoc("", docId) [09:24] if you have a suggestion on a nicer API I'm open to ideas [09:25] ok thank you so much :) [09:25] do you have an screenies? I like the name :-D [09:26] saucybacon? [09:26] yeah [09:27] http://imgur.com/a/0DheR I need to add more screenshot [09:28] neat stuff [09:29] some way to adjust the number of people to update the portions before cooking would be nice - just an idea [09:30] kalikiana, yeah I'm working on that feature :) [09:30] awesome [09:30] it would fix the classic situation of "oops, should've used half as much butter" [09:31] kalikiana, db.putDoc("", id) doesn't really delete the Document, if I pass the db as model, ListView still shows an entry, but empty [09:31] (screenshot on the way, a sec) [09:32] http://i.imgur.com/wvvhVOQ.png [09:35] randomcpp: have you defined a delegate? for example delegate: Label { text: contents.title } [09:35] yes the delegate is ListItem.Multivalue [09:36] it's just like all the contents are erased [09:36] but since the docId is still there, the db tells the ListView to show this empty Document [09:38] renato, hi [09:38] randomcpp: can you push the code? then I'll just try it locally [09:39] a sec :) [09:39] randomcpp: oh just got an idea! Perhaps a screenshot of the food. That would make it more encouraging for a user to prepare a specific dish :) [09:39] nik90|Office, that's already on the todo list :p [09:39] randomcpp: awesome [09:39] you can insert alredy taken photos [09:39] or took a photo on the go [09:40] but I need to define this feature better [09:40] I'd like to have the possibility to add a photo for each step of the preparation [09:44] kalikiana, the code is here https://github.com/random-cpp/saucybacon/ [09:45] here's where I delete a Document https://github.com/random-cpp/saucybacon/blob/master/ui/RecipePage.qml#L64 [09:47] nice work randomcpp :) [09:47] thanks dpm :) [09:48] I should start to separate the js from the qml code, to make things more modular.. === gusch is now known as gusch|lunch [09:49] randomcpp: nice idea. To account for the limited space of the phone, I would suggest using picture thumbnails similar to the memories app being made by mefrio. [09:49] randomcpp: clicking on the thumbnails could reveal a fullscreen view of it. [09:49] nik90|Office, yes I saw his implementation, it's really neat === chriadam is now known as chriadam|away [09:59] randomcpp: I added a pancake recipe and I see it after saving [09:59] I'll add another one [10:00] randomcpp: hmm adding a second recipe seems to prefill text from before [10:00] kalikiana, yeah I need to clean the form [10:00] but if you save again a new recipe is saved [10:01] indeed I now have 2 and I can see the instructions [10:01] I still see both after closing and re-opening [10:02] I wonder why you would not see any in the list - it works here [10:02] now try to delete one of those [10:02] open a recipe, then call the toolbar and choose Delete [10:02] yup it's gone [10:03] but there's a white delegate in the listview right? [10:03] oooh [10:03] now I see what you mean [10:03] (don't bother if the single view still shows some infos) [10:03] yes, I got an empty entry. I didn't see the arrow at first [10:03] that is a bug then in u1db-qt [10:06] randomcpp: would you like to file it? [10:07] kalikiana, I should go afk right now, if you want me to report, I'll file it later sorry [10:07] no worries, I'll just file it myself [10:07] ok thanks a lot [10:07] I'll mention the URL so you can keep track of the fix going in [10:08] on lp my nick is random-cpp you can mention me there === randomcpp is now known as randomcpp|afk === MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch === gry is now known as Gryllida === MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach [12:15] hmm.. what is the best way to store /save settings in an app and then load them as variables? [12:22] Cantide, if you already use a db for some reason store settings there, or alternatively, since qml support JSON natively [12:22] i don't use a db [12:22] your a JSON with settings, then parse it on startup [12:22] >.< [12:22] how, where? documentation? [12:22] JSON.stringify and JSON.parse are your friends [12:22] where will the file be stored? [12:22] third option, try to use gsettings [12:22] they can be locally stored, that's fine with me [12:23] where you tell to save your file [12:36] randomcpp, is this what i'm looking for? https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtquick/qmlmodule-qtquick-localstorage2-qtquick-localstorage-2.html [12:37] perhaps it would be easier for me to just create an xml file, read from that and write to it when settings are changed >.< [12:41] Cantide: or use u1db and don't worry about where it's stored :-D [12:41] ah.. [12:41] i need to read up on that [12:41] does it require a user to have an U1 account? [12:41] got a link about it? [12:41] no, you can use it locally just fine - sync with U1 is optional [12:41] sec [12:41] oh, cool :) [12:42] http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/devel/ubuntu-13.10/qml/u1db-qt5/overview.html [12:42] all i need do is store about 10 variables (these are user-specific settings) [12:42] so a config file, basically [12:42] * Cantide clicks [12:42] thanks [12:42] btw a settings api is on the roadmap for the ui toolkit but no promise when it will be ready [12:43] okay [12:43] it sure would be useful in a lot of apps [12:43] tmoenicke_, hello [12:44] looks like u1db is exactly what i need! thanks! [12:44] np [12:53] kalikiana, is there a method to increase the docId automatically? [12:54] om26er: hi === _salem is now known as salem_ [12:55] tmoenicke_, hey! the ubuntu-keyboard package have not yet been pushed to ubuntu archives because didrocks is on vacation. [12:56] tmoenicke_, he'll return on monday, all "paper work" have been done. It seems only didrocks is the person that is able to release packages into Ubuntu [12:56] tmoenicke_, when do you want ubuntu-keyboard in the phone image btw? [12:57] om26er: asap, actually. bill is back on monday, so lets see [12:58] om26er: i saw some stuff was done last night, thanks a lot [12:58] mterry: ^ [13:00] randomcpp: you can leave out the docid to get one autogenerated [13:08] kalikiana, I have a default Document { id: recipe; create: false; default: somedefaultJSON }, each time I want to create a new entry in the db I just do: recipe.docId = generatePseudoRandomId(); recipe.contents = someContents; recipe.create = true; now that this entry is created I switch off recipe.create = false, then I generate a new id by doing: recipe.docId = generatePseudoRandomId() and repeat the cicle [13:09] it just works, but I don't know if it's a good method or not [13:10] how do i check if a document already exists? [13:10] database.getId(id) [13:10] sorry sorry [13:11] Cantide, var item = database.getDoc(id) [13:11] if (item) [13:11] etc [13:12] ah, thanks :) [13:12] randomcpp: what does generatePseudoRandomId() do? maybe we should expose a function to get you a new id [13:12] function getRandomId() { [13:12] var n = Math.random(); [13:12] return n.toString(); [13:12] } [13:13] but I'm looking for some more effective [13:13] that's just a filler [13:13] yeah, the main problem would be that it can clash, it's not a good way to ensure uniqueness [13:13] it's not guaranteed that's unique [13:13] I know that very well [13:15] maybe we need a function database.generate_doc_id() [13:15] even if you could find a better method, that would ensure you get something sane without researching your options [13:16] there's a function for it, it's simply not public [13:16] I remove that recipe.create =true/false by simply using database.putDoc(contents, randomlyGeneratedID) [13:16] you can also use database.putDoc(contents) [13:17] that should also get you a new id [13:17] let me try [13:17] though it only works if you use the function - if you declare it in qml it's hard to tell if you wanted a new id or not so it doesn't allow new ids [13:17] yeah just works [13:18] an id looks like: D-2cc48379-d3ac-435f-8919-8632d7ef299e [13:19] yep, that is a GUID algo, it's quite safe to assume it is unique [13:20] if it is useful that could also be generated as a function [13:21] can't have an if statement in the mainview? [13:22] Cantide, what do you mean? [13:24] randomcpp, Unexpected token `if' [13:24] you can put a if statement in a js function [13:24] where should i be declaring variables? before the mainview? [13:25] MainView { PageStack { Page1 { } } function myFunc() { if (1 > 0) return true; }} [13:26] you can put js function inside component [13:26] components* [13:26] or in separated files eg: myhelperfunctions.js [13:27] then load them with: import "/path/to/js/myhelperfunctions.js" as HelperFunctions [13:27] hmm [13:28] i wanted to check if there was a database, if not, create one and fill it with defaults, load them into variables and then have them available to all my tabs [13:28] http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtqml/qtqml-javascript-expressions.html [13:28] Cantide: you don't need to manually check the defaults if you store it in "defaults". it does exactly that [13:29] hmm.. [13:29] but what if it is the first time the app is being run, and there is no database? [13:29] umm.. oh, if i create a database now, will it be a physical file that ships with the app? [13:29] use "create: true" and it will automatically create one [13:30] and if it's already there, won't it be overwritten, thus losing the users settings? [13:30] it will not, that is what "default" is for [13:30] *defaults [13:31] >.< [13:31] are there any examples of this? [13:31] sorry... i'm having a hard time grasping how it should be used without seeing code === randomcpp is now known as randomcpp|afk [13:31] i'm looking at this page http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/devel/ubuntu-13.10/qml/u1db-qt5/tutorial.html [13:31] but it doesn't cover checking if it's already created [13:32] Cantide: http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/devel/ubuntu-13.10/qml/u1db-qt5/tutorial.html#3-1-1-creating-a-document-at-runtime [13:32] that uses defaults [13:32] Cantide: https://github.com/xqwzts/my-movies/blob/master/mymovies.qml#L51 [13:33] thanks, kalikiana, xqwzts :) [13:34] oh, it needs to be inside Item { } >.< [13:36] *sigh* module "U1db" is not installed [13:36] this is endless xD [13:36] i will research that on my own though =) [13:37] sudo apt-get install qtdeclarative5-u1db1.0 [13:37] thats what you need for u1db [13:37] oh, thanks [13:38] [it would be helpful if it was documented... hint, hint etc] [13:38] hehe [13:38] that worked, thanks :) [13:38] np [13:39] eh, your settings.js is beyond me :D [13:41] uhm [13:41] its just setters and getters really [13:44] question: is there any way to detect basic gestures? [13:44] i'd like to catch a horizontal swipe on my page [13:49] [atm I'm hacking it together with a flickable, but this isn't very... elegant] [13:56] how do i define types in the database? "Unable to assign [undefined] to double" [13:57] randomcpp|afk, Cantide: gsettings is *not* allowed by the security team. [13:57] i see [13:57] Cantide: so your option is to use qmll localstorage or u1db. === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach [13:57] thanks, nik90|Office - luckily those helping me here guided me towards u1db :) [13:58] All core apps use qmlstorage. But u1db is cool too! [13:58] do you have a link for qmlstorage? [13:58] its the same link you pasted above yourself [13:58] is it easier (requires less code) than u1db? [13:58] ah [13:58] ahhhhhhh [13:58] okay :D [13:58] I havent tried u1db so cant say [13:58] lol [13:59] i'm making some wonderful spaghetti with u1db :) [13:59] hehe [14:00] i still wonder how to specify the type in the database though :/ [14:00] because i need to store doubles >.< [14:00] ah [14:01] xqwzts: I tried cloning your repo and running it yesterday but it complained that AllMovies.qml was missing or something [14:01] xqwzts: did you add it to your repo? [14:01] oh [14:01] ill take a look [14:02] Cantide: I don't think you specify the type, I assume it's dynamically typed [14:02] actually I assume it just stores a JSON object [14:03] xqwzts: for qml localstorage, it is based on sqlite database. You need to declare a type. [14:03] i wonder why, when i try to assign a double by pulling the value from the db that is complains :< [14:03] that it * [14:03] have to afk for a little bit, can take a look when i get back [14:03] xqwzts: btw the design gradient back tab header has been fixed [14:04] xqwzts: time to enable those backgradients back again [14:04] :) [14:04] haha, nice :) i actually saw that comment in xqwzts's code and wondered about it :) [14:11] back, that was quick [14:11] nik90|Office: yup jono pointed that out [14:11] but has it been released? [14:12] xqwzts: yes it landed as an update to saucy yesterday morning [14:12] pretty sure raring got it as well [14:12] im on raring [14:12] will check in a bit [14:13] Cantide: what's the error message you get with the double? [14:14] how do i define types in the database? "Unable to assign [undefined] to double" [14:14] Cantide: I just added this to my defaults and it didn't error out ["testdouble": 2.5] [14:14] i have no problem setting it [14:14] but when i create something like this: [14:14] Cantide: [undefined] is probably youre problem there [14:14] -e [14:15] property double x: get_value_from_db [14:15] then it fails [14:15] ah, you think i'm failing to get the value from the db at all? [14:15] maybe you are trying to set it too early? [14:16] i set the variable after creating the db with defaults.. [14:16] if you try to take a value that is not (yet) there you would get undefined [14:17] Cantide: maybe paste a snippet with your code? [14:17] hold on.. [14:17] i'm going to pastebin right now :p [14:17] cool [14:18] http://pastebin.com/qA0rvYR8 [14:18] just trying it with the colours as a test :) might even be useful settings xD [14:19] i wonder if the variable names aren't conflicting [14:19] hmm [14:20] instead of assigning directly to your property, why not put it on a Component.onCompleted block [14:21] ah, i saw that in your code [14:21] unfortunately i have to run now... rugby + pizza [14:22] I'm not sure if that matters mind you [14:22] and you can try to debug the getContents by printing out Object.keys(settingsdoc.contents) [14:22] see if it has values in it [14:23] oh, thanks [14:24] i will be back in a few hours :) === Cantide is now known as CantiAFK [14:43] nik90|Office: I pushed the missing allmovies fix.... forgot that git doesn't commit empty dirs [15:09] nik90|Office: have you got any experience with flickables? [15:54] xqwzts, I can try to help you with flickables if you want [15:56] iBelieve: I'm not sure if this is the proper behavior or a bug or just my code missing something [15:57] after flicking, clicking anywhere on the page will return the flickable to its original position [15:57] so it seems something is calling returnToBounds() [15:58] xqwzts, well, that's not what I get, so it might be a bug or something in your code [15:58] which looking at it is the same behavior as the ToolBar [clicking on the page closes the toolbar] [15:58] oh [15:58] well that's good to know [15:58] must be solvable then! [15:58] Are you changing your flickable's position on flick? [15:58] xqwzts, can you post the code for your flickable? [15:59] 1 sec ill push to github [15:59] xqwzts, no, I'm not messing with the position at all. All I do is create the flickable, and it handles the rest [16:01] ah, but I'm trying to recreate a "swipe" action [16:01] by flicking my page out [16:01] and deciding if I've crossed a threshold, at which point I change the content [16:02] iBelieve: https://github.com/xqwzts/my-movies/blob/master/mymovies/MovieDetailsPage.qml#L46 [16:02] that's the relevant code [16:02] xqwzts, sounds something like what the calculator app does to create a new calculation. I'll take a look at your code [16:03] thanks, that'd be helpful [16:03] i'll take a look at the calculator code to see what's happening there [16:07] hmm [16:07] in the calc app they call positionViewAtBeginning() after ending the drag themselves [16:09] xqwzts, I just branched your code to see what you're trying to do and what actually happens. How do I test the problem? [16:09] go to Collection -> Inception [16:09] flick the text sideways [16:10] [uhm it should have created inception in the default data of the db] [16:10] if you flick about halfway, it should continue the flick for you and the text will slide out of view [16:11] the problem is now if you just click anywhere on the page, it slides back by itself [16:11] xqwzts, what I get is when I release, it slides back [16:11] xqwzts, what exactly are you trying to get? I think there might be an easier way [16:11] ah you need to flick and release in a quick motion [16:11] i might change it to onmove instead of onflick to make it easier [16:12] think of it like flicking in angry birds, you're throwing the page out the side :) [16:13] actually i think ill definitely do that, have a small threshold for onflick and a large one for onmove, that way they both work [16:23] xqwzts, I was able to reproduce your problem [16:24] iBelieve: great news! I'm not hallucinating it :P [16:41] is it possible to right our own c++ helpers? i keep getting "failed to add to project" [16:41] write* [16:42] xqwzts, I think the problem is that contentX isn't supposed to be changed to a value outside of the Flickable's view, so it keeps moving the content back into view [16:42] xqwzts, but I have no idea what the solution might be [16:42] yup iBelieve: something is calling returnToBounds() [16:42] iBelieve: thanks for taking the time to look into it [16:43] xqwzts, you might be able to try tinkering with leftMargin instead of contentX, but I don't know [16:43] good idea, i'll give that a shot [17:17] kalikiana, can I ask you a question about u1db.index and query? [17:59] Hi all :) === randomcpp|afk is now known as randomcpp [17:59] hi mihir [18:33] uhm [18:36] is querying working on u1db? [18:42] xqwzts, the samples works, but I can't get them working with my db [18:42] >.< [18:42] I didn't see examples for the queries? [18:42] I was pinging kalikiana for this reason [18:43] you have to install a package [18:43] libu1db-qt5-examples [18:44] ah [18:44] thanks! [18:44] np [18:44] then look in /usr/share/u1db-qt or something like that [18:45] if you get them working ping me if I'm online [18:50] nik90, ping [18:51] iBelieve: pong [18:52] nik90, I've been working on the convergent layout and also a new design for viewing categorized. If you have time, could you take a look at it and see what you think? [18:53] iBelieve: yeah sure [18:53] iBelieve: master branch? [18:53] nik90, No, adaptive-layouts [18:54] nik90, thanks! [18:55] iBelieve: do you know how to clone a subbranch? [18:55] I cloned your main branch by git clone main-branch-link [18:55] but for the sub-subbranch it doesnt show its link [18:55] in which case I will have to manully download the zip to try it out [18:56] nik90, Try git fetch then git checkout adaptive-layouts [18:56] nik90, do that from the existing clone [18:56] nope, it sayds no such file known to git [18:57] nvr mind I will download the zip [18:57] git checkout master/adaptive-layouts [18:57] IIRC [18:57] nik90, ^ [18:58] randomcpp: doesnt work because I havent uploaded my ssh keys to github. So I am cloning via https link [18:58] ok.. [18:58] but github doesnt provide https link of the sub-branch. weird [18:58] no worries [18:59] nik90, I don't remember how to do it, I've done it before, with a clone made using https too [18:59] I didin't know that, I always used ssh [18:59] nik90, now I want to find out :) [18:59] maybe a clone with --mirror [18:59] randomcpp, I've always used https since that's the default [18:59] should download other branches too [19:00] I use ssh so I don't have to type my password every time [19:01] yeah I used it to do it before. But after reinstalling ubuntu, I havent yet uploaded my keys since i hardly use github these days. [19:01] I guess that's changing now :) [19:05] iBelieve: its coming along nicely. Few bugs that I noticed [19:06] iBelieve: bug #1: In the homepage where it shows categories (in sidebar) and its corresponding tasks in the side. When I click on a category it should stay in the same page and display the tasks of that category. Instead now it is taking me into a pagestack for that category. [19:06] Launchpad bug 1 in Ubuntu Malaysia LoCo Team "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [19:06] woops didnt mean that bug 1 [19:06] lol [19:06] guys see you tomorrow :) [19:07] iBelieve: also when I press New in the homepage, it shows the create new category dialog instead of new task page. [19:07] randomcpp: see you :) [19:07] bye :) [19:07] bye [19:07] nik90, that's because the home page is supposed to be an overview of all categories and upcoming tasks, so the new button creates a new category [19:09] nik90, as for the clicking on category and going to new page stack, I did that because the home page is supposed to an overview, and clicking a category would take the user to a view that would focus solely on the current category/project at hand. [19:09] iBelieve: ah. That's slightly confusing since in the tablet view, when you have categories in the sidebar, it looks more like a filter where when you press a category, the task list view updates to show tasks in that category. [19:10] nik90, I could swap them so the upcoming tasks becomes the sidebar and the categories list becomes the main view [19:10] nik90, or I could get rid of the sidebar background and make them both the same witdth [19:11] iBelieve: the question is if the homepage is supposed to be an overview, why is it important to show the user the available categories? [19:12] nik90, it isn't that important, but I had the extra space and it didn't make sense to give the tasks list the full width [19:13] okay [19:13] let me grab a screenshot 1 min [19:15] iBelieve: http://imgur.com/MQPNZwT [19:16] iBelieve: this was what I thought of looking at your initial tablet view. [19:16] by separating categories and lists into 2 columns (of same width) would still give a wrong idea and may look weird [19:19] nik90, hmm, that's a nice looking view, but it leaves out a place for upcoming tasks, and also would require the task view page to be full width [19:20] nik90, well, I could put upcoming tasks in a filter on the left, like the screenshot has. That might be nice. [19:24] let me think a bit. Your designs has advantage has well such as the individual category page where you can click different tasks in the sidebar to view them. [19:24] as well* [19:25] this kind of things should be in the UI toolkit itself :P https://github.com/Mefrio/Memories/issues/1 [19:26] mefrio: +1 [19:27] nik90, and the SDK should do that too :D https://github.com/Mefrio/Memories/issues/4 [19:27] nik90, thanks for the feedback! I need to go now, if you want to leave any more comments, you can either add them to the Adaptive Layouts bug or wait until I'm on again later today. === CantiAFK is now known as Cantide [19:35] nik90, do you know where the UI toolkit code is hosted? [19:35] mefrio: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit [19:36] nik90, thank you! :) [19:36] np [20:28] nik90, do you mean that I should just set the automaticOrientation property to true here: https://github.com/Mefrio/Memories/issues/5? [20:29] mefrio: checking now 1 sec [20:29]
