Background service in SailfishOS
 

I am working on Pebble Watch support for SailfishOS.
Current implementation requires having an application open which talks to the smar****ch proxying call notifications etc. which is not very robust.
I would rather have some background service I don't have to remember to launch. Preferably D-Bus activated.
What is the suggested way of implementing such service in Nemo/Sailfish?

Haha It sensored smar t w a t ch.

what problem in using dbus services? it's best way to do it :)

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

No problem really. QtDBus Adaptors are great.
Just asking whether it is the right way to go with Sailfish?

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

it depends, fx, you need to consider if you want your stuff on Jolla store (or openrepos ;) )

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

there are nothing to consider. if you want to make background service you can't be published in Harbour. There are no other way :)

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

Sure there is something to consider.
But, if wanting to use dbus, then the decision is not-jolla-store :P

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

any background daemons are not allowed for Harbour. There are nothing to consider ;)

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

So for an app like that, one should keep app open and listen for dbus events?
I'm willing to do something simpler for a push button like pressy, so was wondering how get started.

is this due to unfinished APIs or a final say as in, this stance will never change? If so time to go back to Android...
