maemo.org - Talk - Detect hw keyboard slide event

The code would look as follows:

Code:

QDBusConnection::systemBus().connect(QString("org.freedesktop.Hal"), QString("/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_slide"), QString("org.freedesktop.Hal.Device"), QString("PropertyModified"), this, SLOT(slotKeyboardSlide()));

You might also want to retrieve the value from the dbus event:

Code:

    QDBusInterface propertyInterface("org.freedesktop.Hal", QString("/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_slide"), "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device", QDBusConnection::systemBus());

    bool pressed = propertyInterface.call("GetProperty", "button.state.value").arguments().at(0).toBool();

Bool holds the value.

You'll also need the following line in the .pro file:

Code:

QT += dbus
