Incoming phone call triggers custom move.

email arrives.. tail wag
wifi dropped - tail tremble
incoming call - tail lift..

Discuss!

The branch for this task is call-handlers.

If the application does not start at incoming call then check auto start permissions at 3rd party manager application. See here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34842659/cannot-autostart-app-on-boot-got-broadcastqueue-reject-to-launch-app

So perhaps rather than autostarting this, we could allow it to be "enabled" in the app whilst the app is running. So incoming calls trigger a move. But not without the app (or service) explicitly being run, and the feature enabled..

So incoming call triggers a custom move that I am designing. It needs to be able to interrupt any move currently moving. And we need to prevent the tail moving once the call is answered - to keep the tail quiet.

I think it is better to trigger the events even the app is closed by default. I added the comment above because Asus phones have an application that denies that behavior. But as I know vanilla android devices should allow that.

ok - good - lets see if it causes trouble,

[MasterTailer]

Excuse my ignorance but I don't see a pull request for the changes u made. What am I doing wrong? 😁

[ildar-gilmanov]

Now user can change the move commands for each phone events. But we can not run it from service...
We should be able to run it from service app, not from main app, because we do not need to start the main app each time the phone receives incoming calls.

Ok. Can u be clear about what u are saying we should do? ⁣Master Tailer http://thetailcompany.com​

It works now! But only with the main app, not service

[ildar-gilmanov]

I have tried several ways to resolve this issue. Here is my report.

We should register C++ code only from Service library, not main library. It is because if we register C++ code from main library then the Qt main event loop is paused when the application is hidden, and when the app is hidden and someone called then we do not see any action. But when the app will be visible again we will get all the events at the same time. We do not want this.

So, to register C++ code only from Service library we have two ways:

1. Separate Service and main libraries into two different .so files and use JNIEXPORT and JNICALL
2. Use JNIEnv::RegisterNatives() method

I tested JNIEXPORT with JNICALL and JNIEnv::RegisterNatives() ways and no one is working now. I suspect it is due the Qt bug: UnsatisfiedLinkError when manually registering functions via JNI_OnLoad. It is fixed only at Qt 5.12.2, but the docker image has only Qt 5.12.1.

And I think the JNIEnv::RegisterNatives() is more flexible and stable way to do that.

And one more thing about the JNIEXPORT with JNICALL way. When we close the main app and stop the service and try to call the phone then the Java native method is registered, but qApp is null there.

At JNIEnv::RegisterNatives() case when we close the main app and stop the service and try to call the phone then the Java native method is registered at JNI_OnLoad() method, but when we try to call the phoneCallHandler() method from Java it says:

E/art: No implementation found for void org.thetailcompany.digitail.TailService.phoneCallHandler(java.lang.String) (tried Java_org_thetailcompany_digitail_TailService_phoneCallHandler and Java_org_thetailcompany_digitail_TailService_phoneCallHandler__Ljava_lang_String_2)

It seems it is due the Qt bug: UnsatisfiedLinkError when manually registering functions via JNI_OnLoad

Now I updated the kdeorg/android-sdk docker image and it contains Qt 5.12.3, but I cannot build the application:

And I use the call-handlers and debug-jni-dirty branches.
