Error message from API calls not passed to QML #65

Closed Olf0 closed 5 years ago

Olf0 commented 6 years ago

Two days ago I wondered, why routing did not work anymore. Starting Poor Maps via sailfish-qml harbour-poor-maps (thanks) revealed, that the selected navigation service (in this case the default: Mapzen) was unreachable. Selecting MapQuest restored Poor Maps' routing capabilities immediately.

As in such cases, routing just doesn't work, IMO there should be an error message. Presumably this issue affects WhoGo Maps, too.

Tested with Poor Maps 0.34.2 und SFOS 2.1.4.14 on a Jolla 1 phone. Sorry, I missed to record the debug output the day before yesterday and currently all online navigation services Poor Maps offers are working well.

I'm going to make a release that removes Mapzen's geocoder and router. Error messages would be nice yes, but are difficult as they require some manually inserted non-trivial glue. Currently only timeouts relay error messages.

IMHO there are a couple of QML apps for SFOS to "steal" code from, which either display a regular notification or a special single line notification on black background, e.g. Storeman (which does both).
