[SOLVED]Vibra interface for mobile ?
-
I know there is no vibra interface in the Qt Mobility, and we can use native API instead(e.g for symbian, we use hwrmvibraclient lib).
But i still want to know, why isn't a vibra interface in Qt Mobility. Maybe we need a vibra effect some times, especially for game developing.Is there a plan of vibra API for Qt Mobility ? It's not difficult i think. :)

I just know how to do it on Symbian device using native API. Maybe i can write a wrapper for that, but i don't know if it's already under developing or plan. Andre, do you know if it was in the roadmap ?

Hi,
Actually, Qt Mobility does have support for haptic effects. The API is named "tactile feedback" rather than "haptics" which may be where your confusion stems from.
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.1/feedback.html
All of the major platforms are supported (or at least, have a backend of some sort available). On legacy Symbian it uses chwrm_vibra, on Symbian^3 it uses chwrm_haptics, on Maemo5 Fremantle I believe it uses Immersion. There is also a desktop "testing" plugin available http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-mobility/qt-mobility/merge_requests/23 which I believe is going to be merged in at some stage.
Cheers,
Chris.
