Is there a basic template to create an app and if so, or not, is there any software to use?
I have tried to strip an app and edit it, but toon wont show the app. If i edit the temperature app, it does show my changes, however, a reboot after every edit is a bit time consuming...
I am trying to build a addon for my home automation...

Re: Basic template and/or software?
Not really, you can use the simpler apps from the toonstore as a guideline.
We do, however, have guidelines for submission to the toonstore (imposed mostly by the packaging software). You can find them here:

That is how Qt works. All apps sources are loaded during the start of the gui.Gleno0hh wrote:...however, a reboot after every edit is a bit time consuming...
After making changes to the sources you need to restart the gui.
No need to reboot the whole Toon, just 'killall qt-gui' from the command line will restart the gui.
And yes, it takes time to restart.....

Re: Basic template and/or software?
Thanks for your answers. I have actually found software to atleast design a app, only have to copy the code so this means i dont have to test on the toon anymore.
Re: Basic template and/or software?
You can indeed use Qt Creator for example to build an app however it is not 1-on-1 compatible to run on the Toon. The toon has some own function/procedures which you need to use.Gleno0hh wrote:Thanks for your answers.

However using Qt Creator can help you understand it more.
When I created EasyEnergy app I asked the same question and thought "hell where do I ever start". However, restarting the qt-gui only takes 3-4 minutes and it forces you to make good code before debugging
