[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] hildon date editor & threads

[From: Petri Liimatta]

Hi all,

I have encountered a situation where HildonCalendarPopup (created by
regular HildonDateEditor) locks up when selecting date from it. This
occurs only if gdk_threads are enabled.

A modified tutorial example code to demonstrate the problem:
/* Includes */
#include <hildon-widgets/hildon-app.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h> 
#include <gtk/gtkbutton.h>


int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
    /* Create needed variables */
    HildonApp *app; 
    HildonAppView *main_view;
    GtkWidget *date_editor;

    g_thread_init (NULL);
    gdk_threads_init ();
    gdk_threads_enter ();

    /* Initialize the GTK. */
    gtk_init( &argc, &argv );

    /* Create the hildon application and setup the title */
    app = HILDON_APP( hildon_app_new() );
    hildon_app_set_title( app, ("Hello maemo!" ));
    main_view = HILDON_APPVIEW(hildon_appview_new(NULL));

    /* Create button and add it to main view */
    date_editor = hildon_date_editor_new ();
    gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(main_view),
                      date_editor);

    /* Set application view */
    hildon_app_set_appview( app, main_view );
        
    /* Begin the main application */
    gtk_widget_show_all( GTK_WIDGET( app ) );
    gtk_main();

    gdk_threads_leave ();
    
    /* Exit */
    return 0;
}

Have anyone else encountered this behaviour?


Cheers,
