Re: GtkWidget* handler from QWidget
Hello Naikel, There are two things that come to my mind: - I implemented a Qt-based api for that stuff a long time ago - It's not possible to attach them to your window, but it's possible to add an entry to a config file, and then it will attach the notification to your window - Led/vibration notifications are possible by setting a notification hint, regardless of whether or not it's attached to your window. If you wish, I can point you to the right direction. :) Timur Sent from my Nokia N950 On 2012.06.08. 7:34 Naikel Aparicio wrote: Not really.

When I say “attach” is that the notification belongs to the same widget and it doesn’t appear as a new window, it appears as if it were the same window than the application that generated it.

Re: GtkWidget* handler from QWidget
You guys are so awesome!! Using the conf file I could make the notifications stack together (using Group) with custom icon and they also attach to a window! But it attaches to the main window of my application. It seems you can set a hint (defined by Split-In-Threads) to assign different destinations (different windows) but I wonder how can you set the different child windows with those values... ... or maybe I understood it all wrong (I’m reading hildon-home source).

Re: GtkWidget* handler from QWidget
I don’t know if you all received this email about attaching the notification
to a child window of the application and not the main one. Again thank you
very much!
---cut-here---
I found a way. In the source of the task-navigator (hd-task-navigator.c in
hildon-desktop) says:
/*
* -- @nodest: What notifications this thumbnails is destination
for.
* Taken from the _HILDON_NOTIFICATION_THREAD
property
* of the thumbnail's client or its WM_CLASS hint.
So well that’s what I did in Qt:
#include X11/Xlib.h
#include X11/Xatom.h
(...)
QString test = “thread example”;
// Set the thread name
Atom atom = XInternAtom(QX11Info::display(),
_HILDON_NOTIFICATION_THREAD, False);
if (atom)
{
XChangeProperty (QX11Info::display(),
winId(),
atom,
XA_STRING,
8,
PropModeReplace,
(unsigned char *)test.toUtf8().constData(),
test.toUtf8().length()
);
}
I verified the settings using xprop:
[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] xprop -id 18874418 | grep THREAD
_HILDON_NOTIFICATION_THREAD(STRING) = “thread example”
... and now the notification attaches to the correct window if it has a hint
“message-thread” as “thread example”.
Thank you so much for your help!! It was very hard to do, and I had to read
a lot of the source code.

Re: GtkWidget* handler from QWidget
Hi, The predefined config file can be edited (thanks to thp for his example - he did it in gpodder) Anyway, you need to add something like this to your debian/postinst # Add Sociality to the notification bubble settings NOTIFICATIONS_CONF=/etc/hildon-desktop/notification-groups.conf NOTIFICATIONS_KEY=sociality-new-notifications if ! grep -q $NOTIFICATIONS_KEY $NOTIFICATIONS_CONF; then echo -n Updating $NOTIFICATIONS_CONF... cat $NOTIFICATIONS_CONF EOF ### BEGIN Added by sociality postinst ### [sociality-new-notifications] Destination=Sociality Icon=general_facebook LED-Pattern=PatternCommonNotification ### END Added by sociality postinst ### EOF echo done. fi Change all values to whatever you need, then use the key you defined in your app's code.
