mardygreyback: hi! I'm watching now the UOS session about unity8 in desktop mode. About your QtCreator demo, does that mean that now it's possible to run QWidget based apps in unity8 without passing via xmir?08:56
=== chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun
greybackmardy: it's possible, but there's lots of window-management corner cases we need to fix up. That demo was using not-yet-landed code08:57
cousteaua bit of speculative conversation:  would it be possible to develop an Android APK compatibility layer?  I imagine this would be similar to Wine for running Windows programs09:00
cousteau(so not everything would just "run natively" but would need some back-ends and compatibility layers)09:00
ogra_cousteau, thats surely possible, but you would have to ship the whole layer inside your click package09:01
cousteaumaybe the word was "feasible", not "possible"09:01
cousteauogra_, do you mean that it should be shipped per app, rather than as a single emulator-ish app?09:02
ogra_click apps cant see each other ... (or much of the system) so each apk app would have to ship it09:02
ogra_there is a bitcoin app in the store i think ... thats shipping a whole java layer09:03
JamesTaitGood morning all; happy Friday, and happy No Socks Day! 😃09:04
cousteauoh, there's no java package for ubuntu touch just like there is for ubuntu desktop?09:04
ogra_there are debs ... you could use the binaries from there inside your click09:04
ogra_but no, click packages do not work like debs ...09:05
cousteauanyway, I guess the solution could be to have a single "Android app" and have the .apk installed inside that09:05
ogra_with the switch to snappy (which is supposed to happen in ~6 months) it will be possible to have a framework package09:05
cousteauoh, that sounds better :)09:05
ogra_that could then provide a systemwide framework for your app09:05
ogra_until then, you will have to fully bundle all deps in your click package09:06
cousteauhaving all apps be self-contained sounds like an elegant and clean solution but may not be very optimal09:06
cousteaubut still, as I said there could be a single Android app and have the .apk install inside it09:07
cousteaualthough that would probably not be "transparent" enough for the user, since ideally one would want the app switcher to display all instances of running Android apps, not just a single one09:08
cousteauand I'm not sure if the app switcher restricts each package to a single "window" or if they can spawn several windows09:09
cousteauTouch doesn't have a Back button/gesture like Android, right?09:11
morphiscousteau: https://code.google.com/p/gentroid/ might be interesting for you09:12
* cousteau is thinking that maybe swipe from left/right should be app-specific gestures such as back/menu or back/forward09:12
morphislast time I looked at it some of the code was missing so not able to reproduce that from the existing source09:13
cousteauouch09:13
cousteauhas it been considered to add "swipe from corners" as extra gestures?  Or would that overcomplicate things?09:15
cylonmath2do we have chance to use swipe typing?09:16
cousteauthat way you'd add 4 extra features, and could free "swipe left/right" for application-specific actions.  Swipe left looks like an intuitive gesture for "go back", and swipe right could open a narrow menu on the right09:18
tsdgeosoSoMoN: i think the usermetrics stuff may have been fixid in vivid09:22
tsdgeospete-woods: have you had a look at the bug oSoMoN filed today/yesterday?09:22
oSoMoNtsdgeos, nope, I’m seeing that on vivid-proposed09:22
oSoMoNwait, actually I’m seeing it on image #199, I’ll update to the latest now and see if it fixes it09:22
tsdgeosoSoMoN: ah, then it may be it's the apps fault, i want to remember usermetrics introduced a way to give the text in english+catalog so the translation would be on run time instead of in insert time09:23
tsdgeosbut i may be dreaming :D09:23
tsdgeosoSoMoN: so i gather the talk went well yesterday? full house?09:23
pete-woodstsdgeos: yeah, that feature works, but only for system installed clicks09:24
pete-woodsI can't find a way of accessing the user's list of packages without actually being that user09:24
oSoMoNtsdgeos, it went ok, there were about ~25 attendees (I had the impression there were more after the talk for the free beer and pizzas though)09:25
tsdgeoslol09:26
tsdgeosthat's weird, there were more than 50 people signed up at the meetup page09:26
tsdgeosi guess that's bound to happen when signing up is "free"09:26
oSoMoNyeah, I know, but the organizers told me it’s not uncommon for about 1/3 of the attendees to not show up09:26
oSoMoNbut it went well and they’re all a friendly crowd09:27
oSoMoNtsdgeos, nope, updating to the latest image in devel-proposed (#207 on krillin) didn’t fix the issue09:37
tsdgeosoSoMoN: oh sure, once the db is broken it'll be broken i guess09:42
tsdgeosi mean the text is already there in catalan09:42

ogra_pitti, nobody is exactly sure what the plan for landing is, development is supposed to all happen in vivid now so that wily is free for snappy work ... perhaps the syncing will only happen in the other direction12:56
