Looking for some help/tutorials on status bar widgets for my "Cell Broadcast SMS" status bar widget

Post #1 of 4 (1272 views)

I have gotten my Cell Broadcast SMS code finished to the point where it
does everything it should except that it:
1.Writes to a log file instead of updating a status bar widget (i.e. the
log file is written to anytime something happens that would trigger a
change in the status bar widget)
and 2.Doesn't handle anything other than the location messages on channel
50 (mostly
because I cant find any information on how to handle those messages or what
they are for and because I dont know how to handle multi-page CBS messages)

I am looking for someone who can help me build a status bar widget to
display the location information. I understand some of how to program in QT
but GTK (which is what you are supposed to use to write status bar widgets)
is totally alien to me.

The widget I want to build would basically be similar to the (unfortunatly
closed source) connui-home-cellular widget (which displays the operator name)

Help with parsing and displaying the other non-location messages would be
nice too if anyone knows how to do that.

Hi Jonathan,

I would like to help with that.
The connui home plugin in is closed, but qwerty12 wrote a similiar statusbar
plugin (customoperator name plugin).

Hi,

If I understand correctly, you are talking about N900. If that's the
case, maybe looking at the example code helps:

I can write the statusbar plugin
Just tell me how it should look or behave.
