Getting two app icons on N9

[birch01]

Hi,

I have a weird problem. When I install my application it creates two shortcuts, one is the default Qt shortcut that should be there and one is a red square. Funny thing, when I click the red square icon the app launches, when I click the other icon that is created all I get is a black screen.

Also, application doesn't appear in application manager under settings until I restart the phone so when I press and hold the screen I don't get the red x thing for uninstall of the application.

Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Here's the .pro file:

# When compiling for publishing the app, activate this
# to change to the 0x2... UID and the right UID for the
# Smart Installer. Using those UIDs requires a development
# certificate.
# For self signed versions, remove / comment the following line.
#DEFINES += DEPLOY_VERSION #CHANGE UID3 BELOW BEFORE YOU DO A RELEASE!!!!!

Hi,

If you check the qmlapplicationviewer/qmlapplicationviewer.pri file,
you can see that the icons are being placed in the respective folders as needed for harmattan platform -

else:!isEmpty(MEEGO_VERSION_MAJOR) {
desktopfile.files = $${TARGET}_harmattan.desktop
desktopfile.path = /usr/share/applications
icon.files = $${TARGET}80.png
icon.path = /usr/share/icons/hicolor/80x80/apps
}

!isEmpty(desktopfile.path) {
export(icon.files)
export(icon.path)
export(desktopfile.files)
export(desktopfile.path)
INSTALLS += icon desktopfile
}

Since you have added the below lines, the icon deployment is taken care by these files.
include(qmlapplicationviewer/qmlapplicationviewer.pri)
qtcAddDeployment()

The below lines in your .pro file are doing again the same -

launchericon.files = restthing80.png splash-restthing-l.png splash-restthing-p.png
launchericon.path = /opt/restthing/
INSTALLS += launchericon

This could be the reason for 2 icons. If you would want to cross check with some existing implementation for better understanding,
you can check this link that has harmattan showcase app source code in .zip/tar.gz archives.

Well... I tried to comment out those three lines for manual including of icons and nothing changes. I still get the same two icons. One is red square that runs the app and one is default qt icon that shows a black screen.

Also, I loaded a lot of example apps and no one has that red x thing for uninstalling the application. How do you support uninstalling the application by long press on the application icon?

[kusumk]

libmeegotouch-home takes care of the uninstalling. This is done by framework. i can uninstall my sample apps/examples with the same longpress.

BTW, did you try cleaning and rebuilding your app for the icon thing. Also did you uninstall the previously installed app, you can do it from application manager, if not from application grid in launcher. Also the icons <app>80.png and <app>.png should be present too.

[birch01]

Yes, I tried cleaning and rebuilding. I made a new project and am slowly porting things to it to see what will break the icon things. The long press doesn't work for me for any sample application I tried (nfcchat, diner, RentBook, harmattan showcase app, new project created with qt creator), it works for SDK Connectivity application, terminal and the games that come with the phone though.

Ahh yes, and the icons <app>80.png and <app>64.png are present also.
