Necessitas alpha 3 update 2

[BogDan]

Hello folks,

I'm honored to announce the second update of Necessitas alpha 3
release [1].
This release brings a new keyboard implementation which I announce it
early this month [2]. As I said before there are a few small things
which are still missing (I'd like to mention the selection which is
not the best in town), but, overall I can say that all Qt users will
enjoy a first class experience when it comes to input support. Also I
tied to make it a little bit smarter:
- If the input widget is bigger than 2/3 of the screen size your
window will be resized.
- Else the window will be moved in order to ensure widget visibility.

Yours sincerely,
BogDan.

Hi BogDan,
What is the best way to keep the java code uptodate? I created an app
with 0.3 and then "recreated" it when 0.31 came out, it there a better
way to do that than replace the java code?

ciao MArco

Hi Bogdan

Good to hear. One silly question, should I expect to find this version
here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/necessitas/files/

The dates are still quite old.

you can find the update via Updater in QtCreator once you have installed necessitas ;)

Unless it doesn't see any updates (mine doesn't - mac)

As well, someone new to the project would not want to download those files. Download and install the sdk, which may or may not work (it didnt for me - linux) just to have to download and install an update. :)

In my experience, i also like to have an offline installer so i dont
depend on network access...
but it's low priority, at least untill beta/rc!

Hi Lorn,

Are you sure about this? I've seen updates working fine on Mac. Can
you run the sdk maintainence tool manually to see if it picks up new
packages?

I'm think you've got this a bit confused. If you download and install
the sdk, you'll be downloading the latest updates, so there'd be no
point downloading the sdk then trying to download updates (unless we
released updates in the interim period!)

Cheers,

Ray.

Indeed, I see no updates available. :(
Going into the package manager I see I have android gdb 7.3, base package r11, platform tools r05.

ahh. ok. the online installer failed for me, at any rate.

Hi, I've a problem as well, I started an update which failed at 22%
because of a network problem (wifi failed).
Now when i start the updater it says no updates available. As well, I
don't like much having to run the updater on every machine, ending up
downloading 3x everything, and I'm lucky in Switzerland with a 5Mbit
connection, I can imagine how painful it is with a slow connection

BogDan, I there a way to force QtCreator update to redo an update? It
doesnt pick up updates after an update went wrong.

AFAIK no. Why you want to redo an update? It is something wrong with it ?

Becaue I never got it. When I tried it it got to 22% and then my network
failed and the update never finished, now when I start the updater it
tells me that no update is available. I generated a new project from
creator and compared the QtActivity and QtApplication files wit the ones
generated before the update and they are exactly the sames and my app
has no new keyboard, ecc.
Any suggestions?

btw which is the best way to keep the QtActivity and QtApplication files
uptodate? check them out from some repo?

ciao

QtActivity and QtApplication files are not changed. I'll think about
a solution to automatically update this files. Actually when I
redesigned java part I tried to make it as simple is possible, because
those files should never changed (except, of course, the
translations).
To check new keyboard implementation just make sure Ministro has
updated its repository. All your existing Qt applications should just
work. You don't need to recompile any of them.

Anyway if you want to make sure you have the latest qt libs, just
uninstall/install them.

All changes we are making to Qt (e.g. keyboard improvements, stile
plugin, etc.) will come trough Ministro, your applications
doesn't need any additional modifications, this is the beauty of
Ministro ! Check this thread [1] for more informations.
We provide the same SDK updates because we need them to debug
your application.

Cheers,
