[solved] get orientation within custom component on Harmattan
-
Hi,
I am trying to get desktop size or orientation from a custom item. No problems in qml, but I need to know it within the custom component.
Both this two methods always return 854x480 even if in portrait:@QApplication::desktop()->width();
QApplication::desktop()->height();@@XWindowAttributes attributes;
XGetWindowAttributes(QX11Info::display(), QX11Info::appRootWindow(), &attributes)
int w = attributes.width;
int h = attributes.height;@Any hints please ?
thanks in advance
Edit: also QSystemDisplayInfo::orientation() always return Portrait

I just found a solution querying DBus:
@int getOrientation()
{
int orientation = -1;#if !defined(QT_NO_DBUS)
QDBusMessage reply = QDBusConnection::systemBus().call(
QDBusMessage::createMethodCall("com.nokia.SensorService", "/org/maemo/contextkit/Screen/TopEdge",
"org.maemo.contextkit.Property", "Get"));
if (reply.type() != QDBusMessage::ErrorMessage) {
QList<QVariant> args;
qvariant_cast<QDBusArgument>(reply.arguments().at(0)) >> args;
if (args.count() == 0) {
return orientation;
}
QString nativeOrientation = args.at(0).toString();
if (nativeOrientation == "top") {
orientation = 1; // Landscape
} else if (nativeOrientation == "left") {
orientation = 2; // Portrait
} else if (nativeOrientation == "bottom") {
orientation = 3; // InvertedLandscape
} else if (nativeOrientation == "right") {
orientation = 4; // InvertedPortrait
}
}
#endif
return orientation;
}@
