[Solved] Jolla keyboard doesn't work in custom QtSDK build [answered]
asked 2017-01-05 11:15:59 +0300
Hey,
I've built the regular Qt SDK for Jolla phone and it seems like the on screen keyboard doesn't show up.
My Qt config is like this:
./configure -opensource -confirm-license -release -shared -pch -opengl es2 -no-harfbuzz -device linux-maemo-n9-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/bin/armv7hl-meego-linux-gnueabi- -sysroot /srv/mer/targets/SailfishOS-armv7hl/ -no-xcb -nomake examples -nomake tests -prefix /opt/qt5/
I have also built mlite5 and libsailfishapp, I linked my app with these libs. Then I have uploaded all of the necessary libs tot he phone and ran the app with Qt 5.4.2 libraries. Application runs without any problems, it shows that it is running Qt5.4.2, QML showed up with QtQuick 2.4 and TextField from QtQuickControls 1.3.
The problem is that after clicking on TextField, there is no on-screen keyboard (the focus indicator shows up in the field and is blinking). Keyboard in the rest of OS works as it supposed to work.
Does anyone knows if there is any possibility to show on-screen keyboard via bash or maybe there is dbus service for this? Any help will be appreciated.
PS. some of you may ask - why do you need all of this? I'm building one-purpose device based on Jolla phone and I need Qt5.4 or newer
Thanks 7ymekk
you need to wait for the end of month when Sailfish OS 2.1 with Qt 5.6 will be (i hope so) released. Or if you want to build it manually you need to use these sources: https://git.merproject.org/mer-core/qtbase/tree/mer-5.6

Do you have some link backing up your words about Sailfish OS 2.1 potential release date and some changelog? I cannot find it.
