The url-dispatcher routing table is currently hardcoded to the Click package for the Music app (com.ubuntu.music Music) -- we need to fix this hardcoding obviously and discuss how to allow others to get music:// URLs or other handlers. -- Loïc Minier -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-phone] Phablet Android branch for Trusty
Hey, Just a heads up that we decided to create another branch in phablet.ubuntu.com so we can cover the development for Ubuntu Trusty. We also updated the phablet-saucy branch to reflect the code released with Ubuntu 13.10, so you can easily reproduce and work on a port based on a stable image. For trusty we will probably be rebasing to a more recent Android baseline (either 4.3 or 4.4), so we should have more news on that subject over the next following weeks (to be discussed in vUDS as well). So in case you want to rebuild the Android side for Trusty, clone the repo with '-b phablet-trusty' instead.

[Ubuntu-phone] CI vanguard rotation now in place
This past Monday the Continuous Integration team started a rotation of shifts as the vanguard in #ubuntu-ci-eng on Freenode and #ci on Canonical IRC. The person listed as the vanguard in the channel topic is on the hook for answering your immediate questions about the CI infrastructure. If you have a pressing issue, please ping them in the channel and they will coordinate a fix. They may not solve the problem directly themselves, but they will ensure that you can carry on with your work while they work with those responsible for specific pieces to bring resolution. The full schedule can be found in the CI team calendar: http://bit.ly/ubuntu-ci-vanguard Please note that while we have continuous coverage from the start of the UK morning, there are some spans of time where we have no one available to help you. We will work to decrease the size of these spans as we grow experience in this process.

Is that correct? Yes. But this is a fresh (actually, still in progress) port to Qt5 (from Qt4, and previously from Gtk/Clutter), and since I don't have access to any other device equipped with a GPS and running Qt5, I can't rule out that there's a bug in my code. The location was working on the N9 (Qt4), at least. I'll play with it more in the weekend.

[Ubuntu-phone] Updates to the android-emulator
It's now packaged in the archive as android-emulator package. # in trusty $ apt-get install android-emulator At the moment one can install it as a normal package, but it ( for whatever reasons) wants to run with read-write privileges. So to run it $ cp -r /usr/share/android/emulator/ ~/ $ cd ~/emulator/ # To download latest ubuntu rootfs and create filesystem $ ./build-emulator-sdcard.sh $ ./run-emulator.sh To run emulator. At the moment this should give one: * adb to ubuntu * serial console to android * telnet access to control emulated events (sms, gps, etc) It will boot into black screen on the graphical output. Things to fix at the moment: * missing /dev/eth0 * /data read-only in the android-container * no graphical output If you are not running trusty yet, you can download the latest emulator from: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/i386/android-emulator/download Regards, Dmitrijs. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Considering the common use of the add icon for toolbar buttons, is there an SDK icon for this available? It appears the core apps are all packaging their own image files for this.

Hey Alberto, that's great news, thanks for sharing. The location service is working, however, time to first fix will be quite high as you are most likely doing a cold start and we are not using agps capabilities, yet. Thus, placing the phone close to a window for ~20 minutes should give you a location fix. I'm assuming that you are using qtlocation. Is that correct?
