2020-03-24qcam: Remove custom event dispatcherLaurent Pinchart
The qcam application installs a custom event dispatcher based on the Qt event loop. As the camera manager now creates an internal thread, it doesn't use that event dispatcher of the application thread at all. Furthermore, the custom event dispatcher is buggy, as it doesn't dispatch messages posted to the main thread's event loop. This isn't an issue as no messages are posted there in the first place, but would cause incorrect behaviour if we were to use that feature (for instance to deliver signals from the camera manager thread to the application thread). Fixing the event dispatcher requires a change in the libcamera public API, as there's currently no way to dispatch messages using the public API (Thread::dispatchMessages() is not exposed). This isn't worth it at the moment, so just remove the custom event dispatcher. If qcam later needs the libcamera request and buffer completion signals to be delivered in the application thread, it will need to handle that internally, using Qt's cross-thread signal delivery.

2019-10-17qcam: Support Qt versions earlier than 5.9Laurent Pinchart
The QtEventDispatcher timers implementation depends on Qt 5.9 or newer due to the use of QObject::startTimer(std::chrono::milliseconds). Support earlier Qt versions by using the QObject::startTimer(int) version instead.

2019-10-07libcamera: timer: Remove the interval() methodLaurent Pinchart
The libcamera timers are single-shot timers. They are started with a duration, but fire once only, not based on an interval. Remove the interval concept by removing the interval() method, and rename other occurences of interval to duration.

2019-10-01qcam: Fix timers not emitting timeout signalNiklas Söderlund
The timer signal was never emitted in QtEventDispatcher::timerEvent(), this results in timers not working as designed running under the Qt event loop. Fix this by emitting the signal on timeout.

2019-10-01qcam: Stop timer on timeoutNiklas Söderlund
Stopping the timer will reset the Timer::deadline_ field to 0 fixing potential bugs and call QtEventDispatcher::unregisterTimer() which will take care of the cleanup. Signed-off-by: Niklas Söderlund <niklas.soderlund@ragnatech.se> Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>
2019-09-27qcam: Fix unregister of not registered timerNiklas Söderlund
If an unregistered timer is given to QtEventDispatcher::unregisterTimer() an error is printed and Qt gets confused and locks up. Fix this by following the libcamera documentation that passing a unregistered timer is a no-op.

2019-03-29qcam: Add Qt-based GUI applicationLaurent Pinchart
qcam is a sample camera GUI application based on Qt. It demonstrates integration of the Qt event loop with libcamera. The application lets the user select a camera through the GUI, and then captures a single stream from the camera and displays it in a window. Only streams in YUYV formats are supported for now.
