Re: [SailfishDevel] qml PositionSource element gives error: QMetaMethod::invoke: Unable to handle unregistered datatype 'QGeoPositionInfo'
Hi All In an attempt to track down the source of this problem, and possibly even solve it, I have created a throwaway demo posted to Github under: https://github.com/sailfishapps/ThrowawayDemos/tree/master/Kaputt/PositionSourceDemo The demo is basically a standard Sailfish new project, with a QML PositionSource element added to FirstPage, and the start() method called in a Component.onCompleted on that Page. To actually get into the nitty-gritty of the code where the problem is likely to be, I have also copied in C++ code from QtPositioning. I am not sure if this identical to the code used in the Sailfish build of Positioning, but it is probably close enough. This in-line PositionSource element is imported by import PositionSource 5.2 Switching between the standard import and the in-line import is by comment in / out the import statement(s). Of course, the problem may not be in the code at all, maybe I am missing some essential package or plugin on my Jolla ..

Re: [SailfishDevel] qml PositionSource element gives error: QMetaMethod::invoke: Unable to handle unregistered datatype 'QGeoPositionInfo'
Hi All The plot thickens! Marcel very kindly posted his code using PositionSource in QML. https://github.com/balta3/sailfish-gpsinfo So I loaded up Marcel's app, and it worked! Then I scanned the application output, and found: QMetaMethod::invoke: Unable to handle unregistered datatype 'QGeoPositionInfo' Exactly the same error that my app was giving So it looks like this error is a bit or a red herring in that it does not stop the PositionSource from working. But the error had stopped me from further integrating the PositionSource element.

Re: [SailfishDevel] qml PositionSource element gives error: QMetaMethod::invoke: Unable to handle unregistered datatype 'QGeoPositionInfo'
I get the same error/warning in my app, without it affecting the app. At least not enough for me to dig into the error. I still get the GPS fix, location etc, so my app is usable. Would love to find out if it’s a real problem or just a ”ghost” problem, but thus far it seems like it’s not going to give me too much problems :) //bob On 12 Jan 2014, at 20:19, christopher.l...@thurweb.ch wrote: Hi All The plot thickens!

Re: [SailfishDevel] qml PositionSource element gives error: QMetaMethod::invoke: Unable to handle unregistered datatype 'QGeoPositionInfo'
Hi Bob Thanks for the confirmation that things work for you. I too now suspect that it is a ghost problem. The trouble is, as soon as I saw the error I just assumed that it was a real problem and did not even bother to try and display Position info. To mix metaphors it led me up the garden path on a wild goose chase ...

HI Aaron Thanks for this. I am glad to hear a fix is underway. I was about to play around with solution like the one you suggest until others in this mailing list provided me with demo code that indicates that despite the error, the PositionSource element seems to work! If so, is this actually a ghost error that we can ignore for the moment?
