[SailfishDevel] How to get GPS Location in QML

[christopher.lamb at thurweb.ch]

Hi Bolek

First of all you need to make sure that Positioning is correctly  
installed to the Emulator, to the SDK, and QtCreator is synched with  
the installation on the SDK.

I have done this via the RPM yaml file. I am not sure that mine is  
entirely correct (as you will see from other posts I am working on  
properly understanding the yaml file config, but for what it is worth,  
mine is pasted at the bottom of this post.

Note 1: for the yaml to take effect you need to "Deploy as RPM Package".
Note 2: in order for QT Creator to be aware of the new Positioning  
package and show PositionSource et al. in purple, you need to sync the  
SDK Control Center. Under Manage Target: SailfishOS-i486-x8 press the  
"sync" button. This should give you a new folder  
/$HOME/SailfishOSmersdk/targets/SailfishOS-i486-x86/usr/lib/qt5/qml/QtPositioning with a plugins.qmltypes and qmldir  
file


You can verify what the yaml / specify is installing via the "Compile  
Output" in Qt Creator, via the SDK Control Center in Qt Creator; and  
on the Emulator with "zypper se position" via ssh
