Overview
This example shows how to minimise a Qt Maemo application and open a task switcher. The example sends the D-Bus command exit_app_view into the com.nokia.hildon_desktop D-Bus interface.
Preconditions
- Qt is installed on your platform.
- Qt on Maemo can be found here: Qt4 Maemo port
Project .pro file
// Maemo specific config
unix:!symbian {
CONFIG += qdbus
}
Header
#include <QtDBus/QtDBus>
Source
QDBusConnection connection = QDBusConnection::sessionBus();
QDBusMessage message = QDBusMessage::createSignal("/","com.nokia.hildon_desktop","exit_app_view");
connection.send(message);
Postconditions
The Qt application minimises itself like a native Maemo application.
That is all nice, but where do you find the system icon for the task switcher?
