[SailfishDevel] Prompt from daemon

[Chris Adams]

Hi,

It's not in devel yet, and the API will likely change a bit between now and when we consider it stable/supported API, but see https://github.com/sailfishos/sailfish-secrets/pull/22 for WIP generic interaction request, mediated by the system.  The primary use-case is passphrase input, but the intention is to allow different input types (e.g. confirmation vs PIN vs passphrase vs ...) eventually.

Best regards,
Chris.

Subject: [SailfishDevel] Prompt from daemon

Hi

Im looking for options to get a yes/no prompt from a daemon process, something like the BT pair popup ideally.

So far, the only option i can think of is to use nemo notifications.  After much trying, I finally managed to get a preview popup, and guess I should be able to change that to a timeout popup.  The only problem is that there can only be a single reply, so i'll have to have a click as a yes, and otherwise assume no.  It would be good if lipstick could support the desktop notification standard more fully with additional replies, as this is hinted at in the example docs (2 reply actions) but with a note underneath that lipstick only supports the 'default' reply.

Another way, which im not sure is possible is to somehow invoke the system BT popup, is that possible?

Then, there is how calendar notifications work, they have swipe up/down, how are they invoked?

Finally, I could have a helper app invoked by the popup, but I think i'd rather go with a timeout in that case.

Any other options?

Adam
