[08:24] <nik90_> Morning folks
[08:35] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: what do you mean by spacing in the ubuntu shape?
[08:35] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, oh hey
[08:35] <Aki-Thinkpad> morning
[08:35] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: morning
[08:35] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, yah I figured it out with the anchors
[08:36] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, do you still know if there is room on the ubuntu core contributors?
[08:36] <Aki-Thinkpad> or pioneers, or whatever its called?
[08:36] <Aki-Thinkpad> Been working hard on my app to get it done so I can be included among the 200
[08:37] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: hmm, I will have to check. give me a min
[08:37] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, thanks
[08:38] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: it seems there is still space
[08:38] <Aki-Thinkpad> goody
[08:38] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: I just manually counted the number of app devs in the page, and it adds up to around 130
[08:39] <Aki-Thinkpad> ah good
[08:39] <Aki-Thinkpad> thanks
[08:39] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: looking forward to your app. Let me know if you need help testing on a device
[08:39] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, I will actually. I got a lot of work done on it the last few days.... Now its just a lot of brute force coding
[08:39] <Aki-Thinkpad> packaging too
[08:40] <nik90_> ah ok
[08:45] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, http://i.imgur.com/bBB7lLm.jpg
[08:45] <Aki-Thinkpad> Most of the work is implimenting about 200 pages of documentation pertaining to the hundred some odd primitives used in apl
[08:46] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: sweet
[08:46] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: you need to anchor your Row to the left and right edges of the parent (phone)
[08:46] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, Any screenshots of what you are working on?
[08:47] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: sure :) 1 min
[08:47] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, should I anchor that to the mainview?
[08:47] <Aki-Thinkpad> or just whatever parent?
[08:47] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: well you need to anchor to the page ideally since the page follows the phone dimensions
[08:48] <Aki-Thinkpad> yah; if I run into any bugs, I'm sure i'll be able to pick them up
[08:48] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: and I am guessing your row is placed inside a page in which case it is a simple anchors.left: parent.left
[08:49] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, whatever the issue was, it is fixed. I will have to see though what it looks like on the phone
[08:49] <Aki-Thinkpad> I think it should be able to handle landscape fine
[08:49] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: https://imgur.com/HoolAyi, https://imgur.com/ibpw4lT
[08:50] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, wow, beautiful!
[08:51] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: thnx
[08:51] <Aki-Thinkpad> one thing I do not quite get; in your first screenshot; are you manually theming a dark background?
[08:51] <Aki-Thinkpad> or is that just the them used on the phone?
[08:52] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, like for example; the showcase app on qt creator has no dark backgrounds
[08:52] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: I manually set an abstract image as the app background. It doesn't come by default
[08:52] <Aki-Thinkpad> ah
[08:52] <Aki-Thinkpad> Looks beautiful
[08:53] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: although you can set different colors of your app background
[08:53] <nik90_> backgroundColor: somevalue
[08:53] <nik90_> headerColor: somevalue
[08:53] <nik90_> footerColor: somevalue
[08:53] <nik90_> this should set a gradient
[08:54] <Aki-Thinkpad> good to know
[09:03] <DanChapman> Good Morning all
[09:04] <justCarakas> good mornign
[09:04] <Aki-Thinkpad> DanChapman, morning chap
[09:05] <DanChapman> morning Aki-Thinkpad :-)
[09:06] <Aki-Thinkpad> How goes app development? Got any screenies to show off?
=== jhodapp_ is now known as jhodapp
[09:14] <kalikiana> zsombi: as discussed, we can have the scrollbars and test cases without textview for now, and I'll file a separate bug for it https://code.launchpad.net/~kalikiana/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/interactiveThumb/+merge/218307 ready for review
[09:24] <DanChapman> Aki-Thinkpad: it's going great, how about you? Yeah sure give me few mins and i'll upload a screenie
[09:24] <Aki-Thinkpad> DanChapman, great; would love to see what you been up to. Mine is going well
[09:42] <DanChapman> Aki-Thinkpad: this is the email message view i'm working on atm. It's far from ready but shows what's coming https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BwhxYaiA7z1qdV9OZERkaU51bk0&usp=sharing
[09:44] <Aki-Thinkpad> DanChapman, the formatting is really solid and obvious, with the subject in the heading title. Very well laid out.
[09:49] <mihir> any idea, why checkbox text property is not showing text next to the checkbox ?
[10:00] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, hey; any idea how to put a whitespace into a label? I tried &nbsp; but its not working
[10:01] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: have you tried other html tags like /n, /t perhaps?
[10:01] <Aki-Thinkpad> I'll give it a shot
[10:01] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: I have seen some stuff work like <br>, <b>
[10:02] <Aki-Thinkpad> <br> is a linebreak
[10:02] <mihir> nik90_: any ieda regarding checkbox text property ?
[10:02] <Aki-Thinkpad> I need whitespace in order to display code properly
[10:02] <Aki-Thinkpad> mihir, checkbox has a text property?
[10:02] <mihir> yup it does have
[10:03] <nik90_> mihir: I don't think checkbox has a text property, meaning you need to add a label next to it
[10:03] <mihir> nik90_: yup
[10:03] <mihir> http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/qml/sdk-14.04/Ubuntu.Components.CheckBox/#text-prop
[10:03] <mihir> adding lable would be the last option ?
[10:04] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, did the components upgrade recently?
[10:04] <Aki-Thinkpad> is it 1.1 now or something?
[10:04] <Aki-Thinkpad> mihir, have you tried anchoring the text?
[10:04] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: the new version is 1.1 indeed which adds the next combo button
[10:05] <mihir> Aki-Thinkpad: i did try , but it is not showing so i guess need to add label would be the last option
[10:05] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: however you can choose to use that if you want to use the combo button or stay with 0.1 to maintain compatibility
[10:06] <Aki-Thinkpad> mihir, well that is one thing you could try; have you updated the libs to 1.1? maybe they changed it?
[10:06] <nik90_> mihir: check with the SDK devs, frankly I would expect the text prop to work
[10:07] <mihir> nik90_: yeah, it should i did try in scratch file as well , didn't work in my case
[10:08] <Aki-Thinkpad> mmmm file a bug perhaps. Do you want to paste the code; i'll give it a try too
[10:08] <Aki-Thinkpad> what is it; Checkbox{text: "Tblah blah bla"}
[10:10] <nik90_> mihir: can you create a sample qml file with your code and share with us. We can test and then confirm the bug
[10:10] <Aki-Thinkpad> mmmmm /n /t\n \t didn't work :/
[10:11] <Aki-Thinkpad> I wonder if there is a unicode space that may work
[10:12] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: so when you did text:"Hi,\nHurrayNextLine" didnt work?
[10:12] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, displays the \n
[10:12] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, in labeles, I have to use <br> if I want to break
[10:12] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: weird, it works for me
[10:12] <Aki-Thinkpad> in this case, I am looking for whitespace
[10:12] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, are you using textareas or labels?
[10:13] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: Labels
[10:13] <Aki-Thinkpad> sec, /me tries again
[10:13] <mihir> nik90_: here is simple MainView
[10:13] <mihir> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7520314/
[10:15] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, nope. maybe it is my wrap mode that is doing this...
[10:16] <nik90_> Aki-Thinkpad: I guess.
[10:17] <mihir> nik90_: if you can confirm just let me know :)
[10:17] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, nope; no dice
[10:17] <nik90_> mihir: trying atm
[10:18] <nik90_> mihir: yup it doesn't work. Mind reporting a bug and providing a link here. We will confirm
[10:20] <Aki-Thinkpad> yah I don't see any text at all
[10:23] <mihir> nik90_: Bug #1323238
[10:23] <ubot5> bug 1323238 in Ubuntu UI Toolkit "Checkbox text Property is not working " [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1323238
[10:24] <nik90_> mihir: thnx..confirmed
[10:25] <mihir> nik90_: thank you :) i wasted my weekend :(
[10:25] <nik90_> mihir: how come? Because of the bug?
[10:26] <mihir> nik90_: thought something wrong i am doing , it should show text
[10:26] <nik90_> well think of it as helping identifying a bug in the SDK :)
[10:26] <Abinash> hi
[10:28] <Aki-Thinkpad> Abinash, hello
[10:28] <mihir> nik90_: yeah : )
[10:28] <Aki-Thinkpad> mihir, at least thats better than finding out you were doing it wrong
[10:29] <mihir> hehe true Aki-Thinkpad :)
[10:33] <zsombi> kalikiana: good
[10:37] <Aki-Thinkpad> nik90_, fyi, <pre> solves the problem

[18:06] <iBelieve> Is there a way to install the 1.1 version of the Ubuntu SDK on Ubuntu 12.04? I'm using a hosted continuous integration service, so I can't use 14.04. I've got the PPA enabled, and installed the ubuntu-sdk package, but only the 0.1 version is available, not 1.1
[19:15] <pikachuza> hey all. I got a questions about html5 apps in Ubuntu. Is there a way for them to access dbus? Is there a way for them to execute common linux command and consume the std out response?
[19:15] <pikachuza> Has anyone tried incorporating node.js into their app? How would this be done?
[19:21] <pikachuza> Another question I have about QT development. Can one use any of the QT bindings? Like the java QT bindings to build an Ubuntu app?
[19:25] <ahayzen__> balloons, ping
[19:35] <labsin> Anyone knows what happens when using ApplicationWindow qml element on touch?
[19:44] <mhall119> pikachuza: ask your questions, if somebody is around who can answer they will
[19:44] <mhall119> pikachuza: apps aren't allowed to call external commands outside of their install directory, for security reasons
[19:45] <pikachuza> mhall119: Cool. I have asked them. Let see if someone can help. In the mean time I am going to try something out.
[19:45] <mhall119> in theory you can use the Java bindings for Qt, but you'd need to include the full JRE in your app's package because it's not part of the platform
[20:13] <t1mp> iBelieve: ask bzoltan tomorrow, he knows the details of what is backported to 12.04 and why
[20:27] <iBelieve> thanks t1mp, will do

[21:24] <bran> wy
[21:24] <bran> hey
[21:29] <pikachuza> mhall119 - yeah I reckon using node might be a better option. Just got to figure out how to run node from within my html app
[22:41] <daker> pikachuza: accessing dbus from an HTML5 app ?
[23:03] <Aki-Thinkpad> is there an official ubuntu syntax highlighting standard? I am looking for something official which I can model my own syntax highlighter after
