[Interest] Qt 5.9 with Wayland IVI Extension

[Awadhiya, Vikas]

Hi All,

Following link https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/release/albacore/0.1rc1/qemux86/deploy/sources/i586-poky-linux/qtwayland-5.5.1+gitAUTOINC+9d40864945-r0/0001-Implement-initial-IVI-shell-support-with-shell-integ.patch
explains how to set surface id but it doesn't work, if it works for some then please share how it works?

Basic problem with writing application are,


1.     How to set surface id from app level.

2.     Again how to do ilm command from application to reposition window.

There is one more condition, If we want to develop custom window manager which expose api to get surface id and other ilm commands then how do we interact with window manager from Qt application?


Thanks,
Vikas Awadhiya

Hi again,

Looking at QWaylandIviShellIntegration::createShellSurface, there is code that positions a Qt Client using ivi_controller. Are you sure your Weston version supports it? Maybe it's using ivi_wm instead? You can check by running weston-info.

If it is running ivi_controller, and you can't move the windows, please file a bug for it and attach logs with WAYLAND_DEBUG=1

As for your linked slides about performance issues, they're complaining about missing support for buffer modifiers, which was just implemented https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/214050/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__codereview.qt-2Dproject.org_-23_c_214050_&d=DwMFAw&c=riR7jviByh3sGm7GIiSlHkFN0_aSATB6A8x0nHa2EM0&r=cxhVCJYKAOBZLhZyNj5ikRWlb-5iDb7mF9OXtsOC4z0&m=i6AVratYH3E5Olejs4Jcj3eb78WzPDtgbFOwTNxPCVw&s=Xxdt24k7Jyv1v0SSD91G4ManGsJ9vLIIr8-0gLVLH-o&e=> and should be in Qt 5.13, huge thanks to Andreas Cord-Landwehr for contributing the code :) Cherry-picking the patch onto 5.12 shouldn't be that hard either.

Br,
Johan
