I should have added (quoting from a different conversation): Figuring out how to actually launch thing thing was a bit confusing. Just running `python3 pyqmldemo.py` launched it, but for some reason the UI was unresponsive. Creating a desktop file and trying to use upstart with "start application APP_ID=pyqml" just led to a blank screen. Finally got it working with: exec sh -c python3 /home/phablet/pyqmldemo.py --desktop_file_hint=/home/phablet/.share/applications/pyqml.desktop After a reboot, the phone picked up the desktop file and you could launch it from the dash. Here's the desktop file I used: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=false Exec=python3 /home/phablet/pyqmldemo.py Icon=properties Name=pyqml X-Ubuntu-Touch=true X-Ubuntu-StageHint=SideStage -- Andrew Starr-Bochicchio Ubuntu Developer <https://launchpad.net/~andrewsomething> Debian Developer <http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=asb> PGP/GPG Key ID: D53FDCB1 -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
