I'm trying to write a little programm for myself in Qt. I wanted to include some cool stuff like using the notifications from KDE instead of the QSystemTrayIcon ones...

But the QDBus call seems to fail. I can connect to the Notify object but the call itself fails with no further notification.

I managed to call the method via qdbusviewer and could call other methods but this one simply fails.

Here's my code:

Code: Select all

QDBusInterface knotify("org.kde.VisualNotifications","/VisualNotifications", "org.kde.VisualNotifications");
QVariantList list;
list reply=knotify.callWithArgumentList(QDBus::AutoDetect,"Notify",list);
qDebug() callWithArgumentList

)
The output is: dbus true false
Nothing more.

I hope I'm at the right place here and someone can help me.

You do not need to use Visual Notifications manually, it will be done for you automatically if you are using KNotification.

The problem could be the second parameter since "0" might just be interpreted as an int and you need an uint.

My recommendation is to get the D-Bus introspection data[1] and then let qdbusxml2cpp generate an interface class for you.

Code: Select all

qdbus org.kde.VisualNotifications /VisualNotifications org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect

yeah, that did the trick.

i had some probles with the parameter -c which should have named the class. i named all classes the same which caused erros but without it everything worked just fine. thanks

You do not need to use Visual Notifications manually, it will be done for you automatically if you are using KNotification.

I tried to do this but it didn't worked as the header file couldn't be found... the dev files aren't installed, so tried the second solution.

Thanks to both of you
