Hey, its been a while since I visited this thread. I was having my exams and was busy with it. Nice to see you've already come up with a UI. It looks promising. Take your time. Hope you'd add portrait mode support as its being part of almost every new app released nowadays. And QML is definitely the choice for a good looking UI. So how far is your work progressing? Waiting for an update.

Cheers!

Version 0.3.0 released
Just finished working on the UI and getting it more or less stable. There are a few small problems which still need to be fixed but for the most part it is usable.

New Features

A UI, obviously, all written in QML
Application Override files to allow specific applications to provide their own lock information. Useful for apps which require more than 1 DBus monitor.
Default overrides provided for Contacts, Phone and Terminal which make use of shortcuts or other functions that need monitoring.
Supports localisation information used in certain .desktop files (will support changing your language soon)
Phone is locked as soon as the UI is opened to prevent people from unlocking your apps...

Known Problems

Removing a DBus monitored application that has been locked takes some time (up to 20 seconds) during which time the UI is unresponsive.
Adding a DBus monitored application does not take effect until you click on the menu and choose "Refresh Daemon"
Substitution files are not used for command line adds just yet (Will be fixed in v0.3.1)

Creating AppOverride files
AppOverride files use a basic INI structure, they are formatted in the following way:

Code:

Name=App Name, if you want to override it, otherwise leave this out
DesktopFile=app.desktop
[DBus]
AppName_Shortcut=<dbus-monitor watch expression>
AppName_Keypress=<dbus-monitor watch expression>
AppName_somethingelse=<dbus-monitor watch expression>
[Bin]
AppName_EXE=/path/to/exe
AppName_EXE2=/path/to/second/exe

You can specify as many DBus monitors and paths as you like, though they should all have unique names.

DBus watch expressions can be read about in the DBus Documentation under "Matches", they are structured like this in general:

Code:

type='method_call',interface='com.nokia.CallUI',member='top_application'

Release Info
The autobuilder is not functioning at the moment, I will try again tomorrow morning and attempt to upload the package for building. Lets hope the problem is fixed soon

Intermediate Release
Since the problem with Autobuilder is still giving me hassles I have hosted the .deb on my website. You can download it

Wow....eagerly waiting to test it....could you please host the file somewhere....I'm really looking forward to see that UI in action!
The wait seems so long!

Thanks a lot!!

Edit: Now that the Ui is completed, I suggest you update the frontpage by removing the commands and adding the UI screenshots instead considering the UI is capable of doing everything done via the command line.

cheers

@Spartan
gr8!!! but wen i click the icon its opening and jus closing by itself.... so wen it will b ready

SPARTAN563 | # 56 | 2011-07-09, 20:38 | Report

Hmm, I think that may be an issue caused by having a previous version installed. You can try fixing it by doing the following:

Code:

cd /usr/share/applications/hildon
sudo gainroot
nano AppLock.desktop

Change "Exec=*" to be:

Code:

Exec=/opt/applock/AppLock -ui
