How to use QVibra to enable vibration in QML

Somnathbanik - Nice Concept

Hi Sebastiano,

I liked this concept and its really nice work. Although I tried to test the sample SIS file. When I run it I see three options "Start Vibra", "Stop Vibra" and "Vibra for 5 sec. medium intensity" . Now could you please walk me through the steps what should I perform to try the next step, cause when I click on those options seems to be nothing happens.

I am testing on Symbian Belle.

Hi Somnathbanik

I tested on Symbian Belle and worked.

I got the same issue ( but is not a real issue ) when I had my phone's settings setted on "no vibra".

Let me know if this help you. If you need more support here my skipe id: sebastiano.galazzo

Thanks

Installation

1. Download source code from here
2. Include QVibra directory into your project

.pro

symbian {
    # Enables Vibra API
    DEFINES += QVIBRA
 
    contains(DEFINES, QVIBRA) {
        include(./QVibra/vibra.pri)
    }
}

main.cpp

#ifdef QVIBRA
#include <QtDeclarative>
#include "QVibra/qvibra.h"
#endif
 
Q_DECL_EXPORT int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QScopedPointer<QApplication> app(createApplication(argc, argv));
 
#ifdef QVIBRA
    qmlRegisterType<QVibra>("Vibra", 1, 0, "Vibra");
#endif
 
    QmlApplicationViewer viewer;
    viewer.setOrientation(QmlApplicationViewer::ScreenOrientationLockPortrait);
    viewer.setMainQmlFile(QLatin1String("qml/QVibraSample/main.qml"));
    viewer.showExpanded();
 
    return app->exec();
}

QML

import QtQuick 1.1
import Vibra 1.0
 
Rectangle {
    width: 360
    height: 640
 
    Column {
        x:0
        y:50
        height: 300
        width: 360
        spacing: 20
 
        Rectangle {
            id:start
            width: parent.width-50
            height: 80
            color:"gray"
            Text {
                text: qsTr("Start Vibra")
                anchors.centerIn: parent
            }
            MouseArea {
                anchors.fill: parent
                onClicked: {
                    console.log(vibra.start());
                    console.log("starting vibra")
                }
            }
        }
 
        Rectangle {
            id:stop
            width: parent.width-50
            height: 80
            color:"gray"
            Text {
                text: qsTr("Stop Vibra")
                anchors.centerIn: parent
            }
            MouseArea {
                anchors.fill: parent
                onClicked: {
                    vibra.stop();
                    console.log("stopped vibra")
                }
            }
        }
 
        Rectangle {
            id:vibra5
            width: parent.width-50
            height: 80
            color:"gray"
            Text {
                text: qsTr("Vibra for 5 sec. medium intensity")
                anchors.centerIn: parent
            }
            MouseArea {
                anchors.fill: parent
                onClicked: {
                    vibra.start(5000,50)
                }
            }
        }
 
    }
 
    Vibra {
        id:vibra
        rotation : Vibra.Negative
        onStatusChanged: {
            switch(status) {
            case Vibra.StatusOn:  console.log("Vibra On"); break;
            case Vibra.StatusOff: console.log("Vibra Off"); break;
            default: console.log("Status unknown"); break;
            }
        }
 
    }
}

The value range for intensity property is between 0 and 100.

Possible values for rotation property are:

• Positive ( the vibra motor rotates in the positive direction )
• Negative ( the vibra motor rotates in the negative direction )

When phone in connected to USB cable vibration does not work

Sample

Self-signed QVibraSample.sis can be downloaded for testing.

Featured Sample

• A real application AppLove can be downloaded.
• Shake your phone to discover a new romantic phrase. Your phone will vibrate.
