> it's an API that is being developed. :) Right. And I’m not trying to blame the API here, seeing that it really tries to solve a different problem. I’m not asking for the API to do what I need because I suspect that my question should be answered by a different API entirely. (For one, an API t

Ah, i thought you were working on a system service, didn't realize it would be confined. I wouldn't make the assumption that confined processes are necessarily running in the phone as i believe the convergence plan is to have confined apps on the desktop. Aside from that, i would just try to do w

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Find out if running on a phone

Pardon my ignorance, buy can you not just check which codecs are installed/in use and then make the right decisions based on that? It is a really bad practice to write code that says "desktops be like this while phones be like that" because you never know when one day a new device might come along

There is pyotherside. It's a library which enables QML to use python stuff. But i never really figured out how this works. http://pyotherside.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ Am 10.01.2016 um 20:40 schrieb Neil McPhail: On Sat, January 9, 2016 2:29 pm, Sam Bull wrote: I'm trying to package a Pytho

[Ubuntu-phone] Find out if running on a phone

I’d like to find out (at run time, from C++), whether I’m running on a phone/tablet as opposed to a desktop. Is there any way to do that? Checking for Arm isn’t good enough, because a Chromebook runs on Arm, but isn’t a phone or tablet. Or, to put it differently, I’d like to find out whether I
