Home plugin example

November 18th, 2005 | General

philipl, have a look at
hello-world-app (user: guest, pass: guest – *sigh* that mandatory guest login is starting to annoy me) It might miss the more deep philosophical points (no updates when in background, etc.) but should be enough to get a plugin running. The tutorial should of course have more substance about everything. Bit weird to omit home (and apparently TN) plugins from the Maemo tutorial but include status bar and control panel plugins, but I guess there’s a reason.

Is it just me or shouldn’t all the How to … chapters in the tutorial be available in the How-To’s section in the website?

Hmm.. the return value for hildon_home_applet_lib_properties differs between the hello-world-app (void) and the API docs (GtkWidget*). Marius, your example code is broken!

If it starts to annoy you, may you should be specifying it like:

? 🙂

Yeah, the hello-world-app example was originally meant to demonstrate how to make Application installer ready packages.
I’ll see what I can do…

MishaS, suppose I could. Maybe it’s just me but I’d rather the see the problem fixed in one place rather than inconveniencing everyone.

Marius, Philip also mentioned Home applets must apparently inherit from HildonHomeApplet, your example applet is making the desktop complain. 🙂
