Ya, that would be fine but the thing is when pressing power button it pops up a menu and I don't know how I can cancel that and only do what I want. If you can tell me how, I can implement that and also I'm working on proximity sensor coz the one I'm using at the moment isn't giving stable result - meaning in the day time, night and night time with the room lights on. Maybe because I chose the shorthand (easy way)

Can anyone plz check this one and report me back?. Coz all I'm doing now is reading the files from /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/ namely adc0 and adc1 every 1 second and as they return numeric values, I'm just using that to turn speakers on/off. Can someone plz tell what they are actually, coz they are giving random results in different scenarios like I mentioned above and from what I found in the web, it is suppose to give proximity value.

That would be due to those being the values for the light sensor... You want the file "/sys/bus/platform/devices/proximity/state" which can have a state of "open" or "closed".

P.S. GIOChannels provide a nicer alternative to watching files.

Shortcutd uses proximityd which I think could be used for easy proximity reading. Maybe it could be useful here as well?

Thanks for the info but I just couldn't make use of GIOChannel. Here's how I did:

Code:

int fd = open("/sys/bus/platform/devices/proximity/state", O_RDONLY, O_NONBLOCK, O_NOCTTY);
GIOChannel *channel = g_io_channel_unix_new(fd);
g_io_add_watch(channel, G_IO_IN | G_IO_PRI, (GIOFunc)readState, NULL);
..........

gboolean readState(GIOChannel *channel, GIOCondition cond, gpointer data){
 gchar *state;
 gsize size;
 GIOStatus ret = g_io_channel_read_line(channel, &state, &size, NULL, NULL);
 if (ret != G_IO_STATUS_ERROR){
   printf("STATE: %s", state);
   if (strcmp(state, "open") == 0){
        ...........
    }
   else if (strcmp(state, "closed") == 0){
        ...........
   }
   g_free(state);
 }else
   return FALSE;

 return TRUE;
}

Any help would be great. Thanks

I'd be lying if I said I knew, so all I can do is point you to headphoned: http://repo.or.cz/w/headphoned.git/b...dphoned.c#l280

ok I think I've messed up couple of things in extras-devel repo as it's says dependency missing and I've no idea why and it can't be downloaded (I'm just noticing it). I checked some other packages and in every of them its "libosso1 (>=2.23)" but how come mine has "libosso1 (>=2.26)" and its in this where the problem lies. I'm using scratchbox only nothing else and in control file in Depends its ${shlibs

epends}. Any help would be great however installing the provided deb file in the #1 post goes well. Thanks

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9070#c3 - the first paragraph there should sum it up.

Thanks for the info and does that mean I've to wait until the release of PR1.2 to be able to upload downloadable package in extras-* repo?

Nah, you should be OK -- you don't appear to depend on any components that are new to PR 1.1.
