With the current header configuration using Page.head there is this issue, and other issues related to the configuration of more customized header. We introduced a new Page.header property (in UITK staging, soon to land in trunk) that can be set to any Item to have your own header, and if you set it to an instance of the new PageHeader component, it will look the same as the current header. It will require changing some code (not much) related to the header, but after doing that you will have a lot more flexibility in what you can do with the header, including properly hiding/disabling it.
The current API will keep working in UITK 1.3, as long as you don't set the Page.header property, the old header will appear for your page. But I will recommend apps to switch to the new header once we have it landed in an image. The documentation for the header will be included in UITK docs at the same time the new features land. ** Changed in: ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Tim Peeters (tpeeters) ** Changed in: ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-ui-toolkit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518002 Title: Header is shown at startup and slides out even though it is set to be invisible and locked Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Some applications have no header on the starting page, but may have headers on the sub pages (for settings), eg Calculator, Clock and Weather. However it has been observed that if you set the header to invisible and locked with the code below, the header is infact shown at startup and then slides away (as shown in this video [0]). head { locked: true visible: false } What happened: 1) Create an application that uses the code above to have no header on the starting page 2) Deploy and launch the application 3) Notice that the header is initially shown but then slides away What was expected to happen: At step 3) for the header not to be shown at startup. 0 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMqJbc6H6IY $ system-image-cli -i current build number: 160 device name: mako channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/bq-aquaris.en last update: 2015-11-12 07:59:01 version version: 160 version ubuntu: 20151112.1 version device: 20150911 version custom: mako-1.1 $ apt-cache policy qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-toolkit-plugin qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-toolkit-plugin: Installed: 1.3.1705+15.04.20151118-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.3.1705+15.04.20151118-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.3.1705+15.04.20151118-0ubuntu1 0 1001 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ci-train-ppa-service/stable-phone-overlay/ubuntu/ vivid/main armhf Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.2.1458+15.04.20150422-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ vivid/main armhf Packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1518002/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
