Cascades Development

[greenback]

Hello,

I am going through the updated docs and having issues implementing toasts.

void App::showToast() {
    toast = new SystemToast(this);
    toast->setBody("Welcome to the BlackBerry 10 Cascades documentation!" + "You have lots of space, but your text will wrap around in the dialog box.");
    toast->show();
}

 
returns an error: "toast not declared in scope" on this line:

toast = new SystemToast(this);

 
I added all these header files to my name .cpp

#include <bb/system/SystemDialog>
#include <bb/system/SystemListDialog>
#include <bb/system/SystemPrompt>
#include <bb/system/SystemCredentialsPrompt>
#include <bb/system/SystemToast>
#include <bb/system/SystemUiButton>
#include <bb/system/SystemUiInputField>
#include <bb/system/SystemUiError>
#include <bb/system/SystemUiInputMode>
#include <bb/system/SystemUiModality>
#include <bb/system/SystemUiPosition>
#include <bb/system/SystemUiResult>

using namespace bb::cascades;
using namespace bb::system;

 
my .pro includes these:

LIBS   += -lbbdata -lbbsystem

 my app.hpp header file looks like this

// List with context menu project template
#ifndef App_HPP_
#define App_HPP_

#include <QObject>

namespace bb { namespace cascades { class Application; }}

/*!
 * @brief Application pane object
 *
 *Use this object to create and init app UI, to create context objects, to register the new meta types etc.
 */
class App : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    App(bb::cascades::Application *app);
    virtual ~App() {}
    void showToast();
};

#endif /* App_HPP_ */

 
Having a blast figuring out why its not working. Any of you have a working sample that connects everything to show a simple toast?


Thanks

I guess you missed variable declaration.

Declare a SystemToast object either in method itself or in app.hpp like this:

SystemToast *toast;

There was a typo in the docs.

Did you report the typo? Or at least just point out the error here...

Someone forgot to include 

SystemToast *

Hi guys,

I'm getting this error (invalid use of 'this' in non-member function). I have .hpp and .pro files same as above, and method looks like this:

void App::showToast() {
SystemToast *toast = new SystemToast(this);
toast->setBody("blablabla ");
toast->show();
}
