D-BUS service names for maemo
 

Hi folks,

do you think it would be a good thing to consolidate all the d-bus service names that are available for us to use in Maemo.
Can we either use this thread as a sticky or create a wiki page for the same.

I dont have much info about the different services available but ive seen many useful ones being discussed in threads.
for example
for MCE services ==> here

Im sure there are more like bme , ive seen another for the mapper.

Can we all consolidate them here ?

and please restrict discussion to only listing the services and what they are for so we can keep it as a good reference.

If there is already such a place ( I did my search ;) ) , please redirect me to that thread and this can be ignored.

Im sure this would help a lot of developers including me to come up with more useful apps.
Feel free to correct me if Im not thinking right.

I did find this, seems to also have a long list of DBUS stuff listed.

http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control

also the user Jebba also had a big list which just got moved.

http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Jebba/DBUS

im not sure if this is the exact stuff you are after though.

thanks RipTorn
yes exactly the kind of stuff I would have liked to consolidate.
Ive seen more of them around, was wondering if we could get all those and list it here in one place.

the wiki is part of the .maemo.org website so any extra stuff could go on there I would imagine. Not sure if there would be much point having a sticky post, but that up to the community I guess.

The wiki also has python examples as well that makes it easy for beginners,
(people like me :p)

Cheers
Rip

Developing for Maemo 5 is much, much, much easier, 'cause of the existence of docs, api refs and wiki, 'cause of OS2008 developing experience. And I just miss the point again and again... Please, use search... Or use fantasy... Do you know 'bout 'dbus-inspector'? Now you do ;) Use it ;)
P.S. Nothing personal, just a long New Year holidays :)

From looking at Recent Changes, I guess he means: http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/..._in_Freemantle

I know it looks the same, but it clicks different!

I was looking for the very same thing the other day. It's really annoying that the closed osso apps don't accept command-line parameters and also don't have a published dbus reference.

Anyway, here's information on opening a PDF with osso_pdfviewer. If anyone knows how to specify an initial magnification or fullscreen mode, please share.
