Re: work in progress: simple vertical sms app: vertsms
 

just crossed my mind while trying to get holding backspace delete 1 chat per 0.x secs that would threading help with "T9" load times?
If I get that working, threading will be imported to the program so it can be used.

probably overkill. im going to play with it when i get home

Re: work in progress: simple vertical sms app: vertsms
 

if there are still questions how to add the sms you type into conversations, WebTexter application, that sends sms over voip (betamax and the like), adds it to the conversation of the person you target just fine. Without any lag, at least i dont notice anything.

so maybe some can ask the coder of WebTexter? (it is written in C/QT i believe)

This has already been implemented days ago, but thanks. ;-)

Re: work in progress: simple vertical sms app: vertsms
 

the problem is with python. rtcom must be run with ctypes and the problem is defining ctypes arguments to the ctype functions.

so that probably doesnt help because I've looked many snippets in C that do the trick through already

e: and aspidites the way it is implemented isn't 100% errorproof. so it might get the el.db corrupted. so it would be nice to get official api working to get rid from the responsibility (and be able to get the app to extras eventually...)

ee: I'll forget about api way for now, it seems hopeless. I'll just add checking of database and possible attempts to fix it if it is corrupt. if people start reporting corrupt databases, I must consider the api way again...

how stable is the latest release of vertsms as i would love to start using it but i recently bricked my phone and had to reflash and i am trying to be cautious with what apps i install

Re: work in progress: simple vertical sms app: vertsms
 

If you can't access it smoothly from python, why not write a common maemo-python-helper lib which provides simple functions for python, written in c/c++?

Re: work in progress: simple vertical sms app: vertsms
 

@gri: That's what he's been talking about the entire time-- ctypes. The problem is that the rtcom API is obscure at best.

Specifically post #137 of this thread.

Re: work in progress: simple vertical sms app: vertsms
 

I think you got me wrong. I meant: If accessing the rtcom-eventlogger with python would result in too much crappy code, it would be better to write a common library which makes python bindings or simple functions for that.

Something like:
insert_outbound_sms(name, number, text)

That would be easy to write in c and prettier to read in python.

Re: work in progress: simple vertical sms app: vertsms
 

@gri: If I understand you correctly, you are suggesting that we create an abstraction of rtcom in c and wrap that instead of raw rtcom?

Let me know when you're done :-)

[rant]This is why I'm looking forward to the Qt Mobility API [/rant]
