Title:
All Alarm{}s show in all apps and no extra data can be stored
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
There is only one database of Alarms in the phone. This means that
every app which has anything to do with Alarms (or which wants to set
a timer for anything at all) shows all the Alarms set in the phone,
from every other Alarm-using app. So if my app creates a countdown
timer for an event two weeks from now, that event will also show in
the Clock app, and vice versa. Similarly, if my app creates an Alarm
with a custom sound in it, the Clock app cannot resolve that sound's
URL to a name and so does not know what to show. An app cannot store
any custom data at all about an Alarm in order to enable this
filtering to only the alarms that it created.
I propose two new properties be added to an Alarm object:
------------8<--------------------
Properties
creator : string
data : string
Property Documentation
creator : string
The property holds the applicationName of the app which created this Alarm.
This should be set automatically by the QML Alarm object, and so should be
read-only to apps.
data : string
The property holds a string, which can be used by the app to store arbitrary
data with the Alarm in any format it chooses.
------------8<--------------------
An app can then choose to show all Alarms in the system (by acting as
it does now and using the AlarmModel object), or can optionally filter
to just its own alarms thus:
SortFilterModel {
model: AlarmModel {}
filter.property: "creator"
filter.pattern: new RegExp("^" + main.applicationName + "$")
}
If apps being able to see another app's Alarms is considered a privacy
leak, then AlarmModel can be changed to act thus and so each app
*only* sees its own Alarms.
