<p>The issue I was facing is that I needed to be able to block within a dbus call while waiting for the phone to handle a request and return the requested data. Blocking in the dbus call would mean there was no way to handle the incoming packet from the phone</p>
<p>Putting packet handling on its own thread would solve this problem for all plugins, but it would be a huge amount of effort. I have solved it by using a thread in the ConversationDbusInterface. See <a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D16475" style="background-color: #e7e7e7;

<p>If we feel more effort in this direction is worthwhile, this patch is a start. It's more effort than I want to deal with right now, though</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R224 KDE Connect</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D16470">https://phabricator.kde.org/D16470</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>sredman, KDE Connect<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>albertvaka, kdeconnect, skymoore, wistak, dvalencia, rmenezes, julioc, Leptopoda, timothyc, jdvr, yannux, Danial0_0, johnq, Pitel, adeen-s, SemperPeritus, daniel.z.tg, jeanv, seebauer, bugzy, MayeulC, menasshock, tctara, apol<br /></div>
