Nokia QT: How to lock the phone orientation

Miguel Angel — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 09:33:20 +0000

I’m playing with QT to make a couple of apps for Nokia phone, here the first snippet: “How to lock the phone orientation”, in this case I will lock in Portrait position, even when the user rotate the phone, the screen won’t rotate

    viewer->setOrientation(QmlApplicationViewer::ScreenOrientationLockPortrait);

The complete code:

Q_DECL_EXPORT int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QScopedPointer app(createApplication(argc, argv));
    QScopedPointer viewer(QmlApplicationViewer::create());

    viewer->setMainQmlFile(QLatin1String("qml/MyProject/main.qml"));
    viewer->showExpanded();
    viewer->setOrientation(QmlApplicationViewer::ScreenOrientationLockPortrait);

    return app->exec();
}

include “QWebView” fail?

You maybe want to do this:

#include QWebView

and you get an error like “QWebView: No such file or directory”,

The solucion is simple, you need to add the reference to the library in you your_project.pro file, just write:

QT       +=  webkit

Save and Run

PHP: How to make time more readable?

Miguel Angel — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 09:23:07 +0000

If you need to transform php time (seconds) to a more “friendly” format, this is perfect, you can transform “251″ to “4 minutes, 11 seconds”

PHP: Como solucionar “Call to undefined function: json_encode()”

Miguel Angel — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 05:19:47 +0000

En PHP 5.2 y siguientes estan disponibles las funciones json_encode() y json_decode() donde pasando una arrary asociativo se puede generar el JSON con los datos, si estamos usando una version anterior (ya sea la 5.0) estas librerias no estan disponibles.

Por suerte podemos usar estas librerias para los usuario que todavian tengan versiones viejas de PHP

jsonwrapper.tar

Una vez descargadas solo necesitamos:

require ‘jsonwrapper.php’;

Google Chorme vs Orbit Downloader

Miguel Angel — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 18:41:06 +0000

Alguna vez me instalé el Orbit Downloader para bajarme los mp3 de grooveshark, lamentablemente esta aplicacion se apodera del engine de descarga de los navegadores y es realmente molesto, me dispuse a desinstalarlo, al parecer lo hice para IE y FF pero en Chrome seguia funcionando! no habia forma de desactivarlo desde el admin de pluguins, hasta el momento cuando tenia que descargar algo copiaba la URL y la pegaba en FF, muy molesto… pero eso era hasta ahora!… en un blog encontré el paso a paso de como eliminarlo manualmente:

Close Google Chrome
Go to
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\Plugins
Delete the file nporbit.dll
DONE!
