connectionagent

Connectionagent is a daemon and declarative plugin for accessing connman's UserAgent. It allows multiple access to UserAgent.

The daemon and QtDeclarative plugin are licensed un ther LGPL.

This class is for accessing connman's UserAgent from multiple sources. This is because currently, there can only be one UserAgent per system.

It also handles autoconnect features. In the future it might handle sessions and connection 'migration' or re-connection when a better known service becomes available.

It makes use of a patch to connman, that allows the UserAgent to get signaled when a connection is needed. This is the real reason this daemon is needed. An InputRequest is short lived, and thus, may not clash with other apps that need to use UserAgent.

When you are trying to intercept a connection request, you need a long living process to wait until such time. This will immediately clash if a wlan needs user Input signal from connman, and the configure will never get the proper signal.

This qml type can be used as such:

import com.jolla.connection 1.0

ConnectionAgent {
   id: userAgent
    onUserInputRequested: {
        console.log("        onUserInputRequested:")
    }

   onConnectionRequest: {
      console.log("onConnectionRequest ")
        sendSuppress()
    }
    onErrorReported: {
        console.log("Got error from connman: " + error);
   }

}
