Sorry for going littelbit offtopic, but does anyone has idea where to find documentation for nemo-qml-plugin-notifications? I haven't yet found any documentation by googling. OR if someone can tell how to use it from QML ?

On the developers mailing list it has been suggest to have a look at the source code:

https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-q...-notifications

it's fairly simple, but... it's not allowed in harbour AFAIK

Anyway they are standard freedesktop notifications, so you can Do It Yourself (TM) with some DBUS messages (on the C++ side, of course).

Answering to myself.. hopefully this will be helpful for others too

Code:

import org.nemomobile.notifications 1.0

.......
Button {
	Notification {
		id: notification
		category: "x-nemo.example"
		summary: "Notification summary"
		body: "Notification body"
		previewSummary: "Notification preview summary"
		previewBody: "Notification preview body"
		itemCount: 5
		timestamp: "2013-02-20 18:21:00"
		remoteDBusCallServiceName: "org.nemomobile.example"
		remoteDBusCallObjectPath: "/example"
		remoteDBusCallInterface: "org.nemomobile.example"
		remoteDBusCallMethodName: "doSomething"
		remoteDBusCallArguments: [ "argument", 1 ]
		onClicked: console.log("Clicked")
		onClosed: console.log("Closed, reason: " + reason)
	}
	text: "Application notification, ID " + notification.replacesId
	onClicked: notification.publish()
}

just wanted to share, little python script to change maliit keyboard layout to e.g. Finnish

if it is already known, you may just ignore me - i record it here for me.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python
import dbus

bus = dbus.SessionBus()
object = bus.get_object('org.gnome.GConf','/org/gnome/GConf/Database/0')

interface = dbus.Interface(object,'org.gnome.GConf.Database')

interface.Set("/sailfish/text_input/active_layout",  dbus.Struct((dbus.Int32(1), "fi.qml")))

i also found the following when watching for an out-going call to be connected. look for

Code:

dbus-monitor "type=signal, interface=org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface.Group, member=MembersChangedDetailed" |  
while read -r line; 
do
	if echo $line | grep "string \"Call answered\""; then
		/home/nemo/Vibrate
	fi
done

that should catch dbus events of calls being answered. hope it is useful to someone.,

How can you disable cellular radio (only, leaving wlan enabled)? I tried disabling it with mcetool which didn't work and the following (from Phone control) won't work either...

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.SSC /com/nokia/phone/SSC com.nokia.phone.SSC.set_radio boolean:false

What would be the equivalent to this in Sailfish?

Not a full answer to your question but maybe a first step in the right direction but I'm short of time.

First try with mce:
With

Code:

dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.mce --print-reply /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_radio_states_change uint32:0 uint32:1

you can set the device into flightmode. First argument is for states, second for mask, but I don't know how to differentiate between wlan and cellular (1 stands for master e.g. deactive all, I think)
With

Code:

dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.mce --print-reply /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_radio_states_change uint32:1 uint32:1

you disable filght mode.

Second try with connman:
use qdbus to get information:

Code:

/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbus --system --literal net.connman
/
/net
/net/connman
/net/connman/service
/net/connman/service
/net/connman/technology
/net/connman/technology/bluetooth
/net/connman/technology/cellular
/net/connman/technology/wifi

and to get available methods

Code:

/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbus --system --literal net.connman  /net/connman/technology/wifi
method QString org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect()
signal void net.connman.Technology.PropertyChanged(QString name, QDBusVariant value)
method QVariantMap net.connman.Technology.GetProperties()
method void net.connman.Technology.Scan()
method void net.connman.Technology.SetProperty(QString name, QDBusVariant value)

I tried setting cellular "Powered" to false with

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=net.connman /net/connman/technology/cellular net.connman.Technology.SetProperty string:"Powered" variant:boolean:false

but the device is set to flightmode instead, so wifi is disabled too.

I hope you can solve your problem, please share your answer!

Edit:
Third try

What about

Code:

[nemo@localhost ~]$ mcetool --enable-radio=cellular
[nemo@localhost ~]$ mcetool --disable-radio=cellular

First of all thanks for your answer! I too am short on time right now so I'll try it out tonight, but as far as the mcetool suggestion goes, I tried that and it doesn't work. It works that way on the N9 but not in Sailfish. While the airplane icon shows up (as it does in Harmattan) it doesn't actually disconnect anything (even though the mcetool status shows cellular radio as ·"disabled"). But I'll give the other suggestions a try

Thanks!

You can go to flight mode via connman like this

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=net.connman / net.connman.Manager.SetProperty string:"OfflineMode" variant:boolean:true

Second try with connman:
use qdbus to get information:

Code:

/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbus --system --literal net.connman
/
/net
/net/connman
/net/connman/service

/net/connman/technology/bluetooth
/net/connman/technology/cellular
/net/connman/technology/wifi

/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbus --system --literal net.connman  /net/connman/technology/wifi

method QVariantMap net.connman.Technology.GetProperties()
method void net.connman.Technology.Scan()
method void net.connman.Technology.SetProperty(QString name, QDBusVariant value)

I tried setting cellular "Powered" to false with

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=net.connman /net/connman/technology/cellular net.connman.Technology.SetProperty string:"Powered" variant:boolean:false

but the device is set to flightmode instead, so wifi is disabled too.

This is the correct way, only cellular should be disabled now. If it does not, then that is a bug.

I hope you can solve your problem, please share your answer!

Edit:
Third try
What about
Code:
[nemo@localhost ~]$ mcetool --enable-radio=cellular
[nemo@localhost ~]$ mcetool --disable-radio=cellular
?

There seems to be some co-operation issues with mce and connman. ConnMan expects to control the technologies (like radios) in the system. If MCE is also trying to tweak those technologies at the same time, then there might be some issues. ConnMan also honors the rfkill events, so you should be able to get the same result by running rfkill command (not found in the device by default thou) and disabling the cellular modem.
